Pittsburgh transferred Perdomo (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on Thursday.
Perdomo was placed on the 15-day IL this past Sunday due to left elbow discomfort and is now officially done for the remainder of the 2023 season. Rob Zastryzny will fill the vacated 40-man roster spot as he joins the Pirates' bullpen ahead of Thursday's series opener against the Cubs.

Pirates' Angel Perdomo: Out with elbow discomfort
Rotowire
The Pirates placed Perdomo on the 15-day injured list Sunday with left elbow discomfort, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Perdomo presumably picked up the injury during his most recent relief appearance in the Pirates' 5-1 loss to Minnesota on Friday, when he was touched up for two earned runs on three hits and one walk while retiring two batters. The Pirates could send Perdomo in for additional tests on his elbow to determine if he's dealing with anything more than soreness, but the southpaw will be on the shelf for at least the next two weeks. Right-handed reliever Dauri Moreta (back) was brought back from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.

Pirates' Angel Perdomo: Suspension reduced
Rotowire
Perdomo's suspension was reduced to two games after a settlement was reached between the MLBPA and MLB, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Perdomo was initially suspended for three games after intentionally throwing at Manny Machado on Tuesday, but he's now set to make an early return. The 29-year-old lefty has a 3.92 ERA and 0.97 WHIP through 20.2 innings this season and has recorded two holds in 21 appearances.

Pirates' Angel Perdomo: Suspended three games
Rotowire
Perdomo was suspended three games by Major League Baseball for throwing at Manny Machado on Tuesday night, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Perdomo fired an up-and-in pitch to Machado in the bottom of the seventh inning, shortly after serving up a home run to Juan Soto. It was deemed an intentional plunking and Perdomo will not appeal the three-game punishment. Pirates manager Derek Shelton also received a one-game suspension and will serve it during Wednesday's series finale at San Diego. Perdomo is eligible to return Sunday.
The Pirates selected Perdomo's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.
Perdomo holds a 3.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 35:16 K:BB ratio through 22.2 innings with Indianapolis. He has a bit of MLB experience -- 19.2 innings with the Brewers between 2020-21 -- but didn't find much success with 18 earned runs allowed. Chris Owings was designated for assignment to make room for Perdomo on the active roster.
Perdomo signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Thursday.
The big lefty received an invitation to spring training. Perdomo holds an ugly 8.24 ERA over 22 appearances at the major-league level.

Rays' Angel Perdomo: Outrighted to minors
Rotowire
The Rays outrighted Perdomo to Triple-A Durham on Thursday.
After being claimed off waivers from the Brewers on July 19, Perdomo stayed on the Rays' 40-man roster for about two weeks before being designated for assignment. He'll stay in the Tampa Bay organization as a depth reliever at Triple-A after none of baseball's other 29 teams put in a waiver claim for him.

Rays' Angel Perdomo: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Perdomo was designated for assignment Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Perdomo was claimed off waivers by the Rays on July 19, but he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Tampa Bay acquired David Peralta from the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Perdomo has struck out 13 in 5.1 scoreless innings over six Triple-A appearances this year and will likely remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Rays' Angel Perdomo: Claimed by Rays
Rotowire
The Rays claimed Perdomo (hand) off waivers from the Brewers on Tuesday.
Perdomo has been rehabbing from a hand injury and began an assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League a week ago. The lefty will report to Triple-A Durham and looks like he'll be active right away for the affiliate when the minor-league All-Star break ends. Since he'll get a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster, Perdomo should have the opportunity to make his first MLB appearance of 2022 at some point over the next two months.

Brewers' Angel Perdomo: Working back from hand fracture
Rotowire
Perdomo (hand) will begin a rehab assignment with the Brewers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday.
Perdomo has resided on Triple-A Nashville's injured list since April 12, when he was shut down after sustaining a "boxer's fracture" of his left hand, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. After making 22 appearances out of the big-league bullpen between the 2020 and 2021 seasons, Perdomo will have to enjoy a period of sustained success once active at Nashville before he gets another call-up to Milwaukee. Before rejoining Nashville, he'll likely make several appearances in the lower rungs of the minors.

Brewers' Angel Perdomo: Healthy at Triple-A
Rotowire
Perdomo (back) has made two appearances this season for Triple-A Nashville, tossing 1.2 scoreless innings and allowing no hits and three walks while striking out four.
Perdomo finished the 2021 season on the Brewers' 60-day injured list due to a back strain, but he's received a clean bill of health ahead of the 2022 campaign. Despite not winning a spot in Milwaukee's Opening Day bullpen, Perdomo retains a spot on the 40-man roster, so he'll be a candidate for a promotion if the Brewers should require an extra bullpen arm at any point.

Brewers' Angel Perdomo: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Perdomo (back) to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Perdomo was one of five 40-man roster players that the Brewers demoted to Triple-A in the team's latest round of cuts from big-league camp. The right-hander didn't see any action for either the Brewers or in the minors after early August of last season while he contended with a strained back, and he's gone unused thus far during the Cactus League slate. With that in mind, it's unclear where Perdomo stands on the health front as the start of the minor-league season approaches.

Brewers' Angel Perdomo: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
Perdomo was recalled from Triple-A Nashville prior to Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
John Axford is headed to the injured list, so Perdomo will take his place in a low-leverage relief role. He has given up 11 earned runs (four home runs) in 15.1 MLB innings this season.

Brewers' Angel Perdomo: Returns to minors
Rotowire
Perdomo was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Perdomo appeared in three games after being called up July 17, allowing one run and striking out six in 2.2 innings of work. His 6.46 ERA in 2021 doesn't exactly merit a return to the Brewers, but injuries in the bullpen could certainly give him another opportunity before the season ends. Devin Williams (elbow) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move Tuesday.

Brewers' Angel Perdomo: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
Perdomo was recalled from Triple-A Nashville prior to Saturday's game against Cincinnati.
With Devin Williams landing on the 10-day injured list with right elbow discomfort, a spot opened up on the 26-man roster for Perdomo to rejoin the Brewers' bullpen. Perdomo spent over a month and a half in the majors in the early portion of the season, but was placed on the injured list in late May with a back strain, and was later optioned to Triple-A when he was activated. The left-hander will resume his big-league campaign with a 7.11 ERA and 19:12 K:BB.

Brewers' Angel Perdomo: Reinstated, sent down
Rotowire
Perdomo (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
Perdomo had been on the injured list since May 30 due to a lower back strain, but he began a rehab assignment June 20. The southpaw made five appearances with the Triple-A club and allowed no hits and a walk while striking out 10 in five scoreless innings. He'll remain in the minors but could return to the Brewers as a low-leverage reliever at some point.

Brewers' Angel Perdomo: Makes first rehab appearance
Rotowire
Perdomo (back) struck out the side in his lone inning of work during Sunday's rehab outing at Triple-A Nashville.
Perdomo was sharp in his first appearance at any level since May 24, but he wasn't as overpowering as his box-score line would indicate. He didn't induce a single swing and miss among his 18 pitches, as all 11 of the strikes he threw were either called strikes or fouled off. The Brewers may want to see Perdomo make another appearance or two in the minors before reinstating him from the 10-day injured list.
