The Rays reassigned Krehbiel to minor-league camp Monday.
Krehbiel has spent parts of four seasons in the majors, but he pitched exclusively at the Triple-A level in 2024 as a member of the Mariners organization, logging a 3.26 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 58 innings. He caught on with the Rays on a minor-league deal in January, but after falling short in his bid for a spot in the big club's Opening Day bullpen, Krehbiel will likely begin the campaign at Triple-A Durham.

Mariners' Joey Krehbiel: Back in action at spring training
Rotowire
Krehbiel (neck) gave up three earned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one over an inning of relief in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Cubs in Cactus League play.
Krehbiel had been scheduled to make his third appearance of the spring Wednesday versus the Royals, but he was scratched from that outing two days later due to a neck strain. The veteran reliever was quickly able to move past the issue, but he was hit hard in his return to the mound Friday, with both of the hits he allowed leaving the yard. Krehbiel is attending camp as a non-roster invitee and looks like a long shot to win a spot in the Mariners' Opening Day bullpen.

Orioles' Joey Krehbiel: Grabs first win
Rotowire
Krehbiel (1-0) retired the only batter he faced and earned the win in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Angels.
DL Hall failed to convert a save opportunity, allowing the tying run to score, but Krehbiel prevented the Orioles from getting walked off. They took the lead in the 10th, and Shintaro Fujinami was able to preserve it. Krehbiel has given up one run over 2.1 innings across three appearances since he was called up when rosters expanded Friday. He will likely continue to feature mostly in a low-leverage role.

Orioles' Joey Krehbiel: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
The Orioles selected Krehbiel's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
Baltimore opened up space on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster by designating Eduard Bazardo for assignment and optioning Tyler Wells to Double-A Bowie, respectively. Krehbiel is back up with the Orioles for a second time this season, but he has yet to make his 2023 debut for the big club after he went unused in his brief stint with Baltimore in early May. While spending most of the season at Norfolk, Krehbiel has pitched to a 3.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25:17 K:BB in 30 innings. He'll likely be ticketed for lower-leverage duties out of the bullpen.
Krehbiel cleared outright waivers and accepted an an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Krehbiel was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Luis Torrens. In nine appearances with Norfolk, Krehbiel has registered a 2.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over nine frames.

Orioles' Joey Krehbiel: Moves off 40-man roster
Rotowire
Baltimore designated Krehbiel for assignment Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The move clears room on the 40-man roster for Luis Torrens, whom the Orioles acquired from the Cubs in exchange for cash considerations. Krehbiel was relatively effective out of the Baltimore bullpen in 2022 with a 3.90 ERA over 57.2 innings over 56 appearances, but he wasn't a part of the Opening Day roster. He's posted a 2.00 ERA over nine innings with Triple-A Norfolk, and a team in need of bullpen help could show interest in the right-hander on the waiver wire or via trade.

Orioles' Joey Krehbiel: Opening year at Triple-A
Rotowire
The Orioles optioned Krehbiel to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
Krehbiel narrowly missed out on making the Orioles' Opening Day roster, with Baltimore instead opting to go with Logan Gillaspie and Mike Baumann as its final two bullpen arms. The 30-year-old right-hander previously appeared in 56 games with the big club in 2022, logging a 3.90 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB in 57.2 innings while collecting five wins, 10 holds and one save.

Orioles' Joey Krehbiel: Gets back on track
Rotowire
Krehbiel has pitched 4.2 scoreless innings over his last five Grapefruit League outings.
Krehbiel also has a 6:1 K:BB in that span. The right-hander was a solid part of the Orioles' strong bullpen last season, but he was torched for eight runs over his first two appearances this spring. Now that he's back on track, he should remain in contention for the Opening Day roster, though the Orioles still have a lot of trimming to do to their pitching staff.
