Fantasy Impact
Curet will add relief depth for Detroit.

Fantasy Impact
The Phillies optioned Curet to Double-A Reading on Saturday. He will begin his time with his new organization at the Double-A level.
The Tampa Bay Rays have traded right-hander Yoniel Rodriguez to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Fantasy Impact
The 23-year-old Curet was recently designated for assignment by the Rays, and the club has seemingly found a trade partner with the Phillies. Curet has yet to make his MLB debut and posted a 3.90 ERA across 16 appearances (14 starts) and 55 1/3 innings across three minor-league levels in the 2025 season.
The Rays designated RHP Yoniel Curet for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
Curet loses his spot on the Rays 40-man roster. He'll head to waivers.
The Rays optioned Curet to minor league camp on Friday, per team reports.
Fantasy Impact
Curet, 22, the Rays’ top pitching prospect, gave up one run with a 1:1 K:BB over two spring innings—after a late surge at Double-A Montgomery in 2024, he’s probably returning there to kick off 2025. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should stash him; his ceiling’s high, even if he’s a step away.
