News
	Triston McKenzie has been reassigned to minor league camp by the San Diego Padres. David Leisering Sat, Mar 21st	The Royals signed RHP Vince Velasquez to a minor league contract. Ari Koslow Fri, Jul 10th
	McKenzie carries a 5.46 ERA across 24 big-league appearances (20 starts) since 2023 into Padres camp as a non-roster invitee, but his arm has shown something new this spring. He gained weight over the offseason and pitched in winter ball for the first time, and his four-seamer is averaging 95.7 mph — up two full mph from last season. McKenzie has never touched 97 mph in a major-league game, but he topped that mark 10 times in his most recent Cactus League outing and peaked at 98.8 mph. He admitted having "no idea" where the extra velocity is coming from. Bruno Mulé Fri, Mar 13th	Vince Velasquez elected free agency. Ari Koslow Tue, Jun 30th
		The Cubs designated RHP Vince Velasquez for assignment. Ari Koslow Sun, Jun 28th
		The Cubs called up Vince Velasquez. Ari Koslow Wed, Jun 24th
		The Cubs sent RHP Vince Velasquez outright to Triple-A Iowa. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 28th
