• Reds' Caleb Ferguson: Sidelined by strained oblique

  Rotowire Mar 25, 2026

  The Reds placed Ferguson (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Ferguson will get a late start to the season after tweaking his right oblique in mid-March. Once healthy, he's expected to fill a middle-relief role in the Cincinnati bullpen.

• Reds' Caleb Ferguson: Out to begin season

  Rotowire Mar 12, 2026

  Ferguson will open the season on the injured list due to an oblique injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Manager Terry Francona said that it is a mild oblique injury and that Ferguson will be out "a couple of weeks" and that "he has to heal the way it heals," per Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati. The southpaw was signed by the Reds in December and is likely to fill a middle-relief role when healthy.

• Reds' Caleb Ferguson: Nabs one-year deal from Reds

  Rotowire Dec 16, 2025

  The Reds signed Ferguson to a one-year contract Tuesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Ferguson made 70 regular-season appearances in 2025 between the Pirates and Mariners, posting a 3.58 ERA and 51:22 K:BB over 65.1 innings. The southpaw held left-handed hitters to a .184/.261/.204 batting line, so Ferguson should be leaned on heavily by manager Terry Francona in 2026 when the opposition has lefties due up.

• Mariners' Caleb Ferguson: Struggling to limit traffic for M's

  Rotowire Sep 22, 2025

  Ferguson allowed one run on three hits in one-third of an inning Sunday against the Astros. The Mariners acquired Ferguson from the Pirates ahead of the trade deadline to bolster their bullpen, but he hasn't been particularly reliable for his new team. Through 18.1 innings for Seattle, the southpaw has a 3.93 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB. Given Ferguson's shakiness, Gabe Speier will likely remain the preferred left-handed high-leverage arm for the M's in the future.

• Mariners' Caleb Ferguson: Scoreless outing in team debut

  Rotowire Aug 1, 2025

  Ferguson threw a clean seventh inning with no strikeouts in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Rangers. Ferguson got off on the right foot in his team debut, though it's worth noting he entered in a low-leverage situation as the Mariners nursed a 6-0 lead. While the 29-year-old southpaw may not be part of the high-leverage mix right off the bat, it's not out of the question that he'll eventually work his way into a setup role behind closer Andres Munoz. Ferguson is just one of two active lefties in Seattle's bullpen along with Gabe Speier.

• Astros' Caleb Ferguson: Shipped to Houston

  Rotowire Jul 30, 2024

  The Astros acquired Ferguson from the Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Kelly Austin, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. Ferguson will provide the Astros with additional bullpen depth after appearing in 42 games with the Yankees this season. The 27-year-old logged a 5.13 ERA, a 1.50 WHIP and 10 holds across 33.1 innings for New York. He's not expected to see much high-leverage work in Houston.

• Yankees' Caleb Ferguson: Dominant in securing 10th hold

  Rotowire Jun 15, 2024

  Ferguson recorded a hold against the Red Sox on Friday by striking out all four batters he faced. Ferguson entered with two runners on base and two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning and finished the frame by fanning Jarren Duran. The lefty reliever returned for the seventh and proceeded to strike out the side on 15 pitches. It was the sixth straight scoreless outing for Ferguson, and he's picked up three holds and a victory while registering an 8:2 K:BB over five innings during that span. He leads the Yankees with 10 holds on the campaign.

• Yankees' Caleb Ferguson: Comes to rescue in relief

  Rotowire May 18, 2024

  Ferguson earned a hold against the White Sox on Friday, striking out one batter in two-thirds of an inning. Fellow reliever Ian Hamilton began the eighth frame for the Yankees but got himself into hot water, allowing three hits to the four batters he faced to yield a run and put the tying runs in scoring position. Ferguson was called upon to put out the fire and did just that, striking out Andrew Benintendi and getting Corey Julks to line out to keep New York's advantage at two runs. Though his ERA still sits at an unappealing 5.74 on the campaign, Ferguson has been one of the Yankees' highest-leverage relievers of late, nailing down four holds over his past 10 appearances. He's posted a 10:3 K:BB across seven innings during that span, and all four of his earned runs during that stretch came in a single outing (May 12 versus Tampa Bay).

• Yankees' Caleb Ferguson: Posts first save as Yankee

  Rotowire Apr 4, 2024

  Ferguson earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning. Yankees closer Clay Holmes couldn't convert a save chance in the bottom of the 10th inning, and he left in the bottom of the 11th with two runners on base and New York clinging to a two-run lead. Ferguson took over and struck out the first batter he faced before allowing a run-scoring single. However, Arizona had previously lost its DH spot and ran through its list of reserve hitters, so Ferguson intentionally walked catcher Gabriel Moreno to load the bases in order to get to Diamondbacks reliever Scott McGough, who was forced to hit. Predictably, McGough struck out looking, and Ferguson walked away with his first save of the campaign. The left-hander nabbed a career-high three saves with the Dodgers last season, but he's not a threat to Holmes' closer role.

• Dodgers' Caleb Ferguson: Reaches deal with Dodgers

  Rotowire Jan 11, 2024

  The Dodgers and Ferguson avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.4 million contract Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. It's a nice salary bump for Ferguson, who was eligible for salary arbitration for the final time. The left-handed reliever collected a 3.43 ERA and 70:23 K:BB across 60.1 frames with the Dodgers in 2023.

• Dodgers' Caleb Ferguson: Opener assignment Tuesday

  Rotowire Sep 26, 2023

  Ferguson will serve as the opening pitcher in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader at Colorado, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. Ryan Pepiot looks poised to operate in bulk relief for the visiting Dodgers. Ferguson boasts a 2.47 ERA and 67:22 K:BB in 58.1 innings this season, but he'll probably only cover the bottom of the first Tuesday versus the Rockies.

• Dodgers' Caleb Ferguson: Pitches scoreless inning

  Rotowire Aug 25, 2023

  Ferguson did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one hit and zero walks over a scoreless inning against the Guardians. Ferguson opened the game for the Dodgers and retired the first two batters he faced before hitting Kole Calhoun with a pitch. He also allowed a single in the inning but was able to work his way out of the jam before being relieved by Ryan Yarbrough to open the second. The reliever has not allowed a run in six of his last appearances, though he's also recorded just two strikeouts over that stretch.

• Dodgers' Caleb Ferguson: Could be opener in second game

  Rotowire Aug 24, 2023

  Ferguson is expected to serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher in Thursday's later game against the Guardians, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. The Dodgers' plans could change depending on how the bullpen usage shakes out in the resumption of Wednesday's suspended game. Whatever the case, Ryan Pepiot will be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to handle the bulk of the innings for Los Angeles in Thursday's regularly-scheduled tilt at Cleveland. If Ferguson does open the game, he'll likely cover only the first inning.

• Dodgers' Caleb Ferguson: Nabs win Wednesday

  Rotowire Aug 10, 2023

  Ferguson (6-3) earned the win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday with a perfect inning in relief. The game was scoreless through six frames, but Dodgers starter Bobby Miller opened the seventh by allowing the first two batters he faced to reach base. Ferguson took over and quickly stamped out the threat, making a nifty diving catch on an attempted sacrifice bunt and doubling the runner off second. He then retired Corbin Carroll to end the inning, and Ferguson took the win as a result of Los Angeles scoring two runs in the bottom of the frame. The southpaw has been a key piece of the team's bullpen this season, collecting six wins, 14 holds and two saves while posting a 2.91 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 52:20 K:BB over 43.1 innings.

• Dodgers' Caleb Ferguson: Tagged with third loss

  Rotowire Jun 12, 2023

  Ferguson (3-3) took the loss Sunday, allowing a run on three hits over one inning against Philadelphia. He struck out two. Serving as the opener Sunday, Ferguson allowed three consecutive one-out singles, putting the Dodgers in an early 1-0 hole. Following a stretch of 17 scoreless appearances, the 26-year-old southpaw has now allowed at least one run in five of his last six outings, sporting a 15.43 ERA over 4.2 innings in that span. Ferguson's ERA is up to 3.91 through 23 innings this season with a 1.48 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB.

• Dodgers' Caleb Ferguson: Secures second save

  Rotowire May 27, 2023

  Ferguson earned a save against the Rays on Saturday, allowing a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning. Coming into the contest, Evan Phillips and Brusdar Graterol had combined to notch 10 of the Dodgers' 13 saves on the season, but manager Dave Roberts eschewed that approach and deployed Graterol in the seventh inning and Phillips in the eighth Saturday. Phillips was left in the game to retire the first batter in the ninth before Roberts turned to Ferguson to close things out. The move nearly backfired, as the southpaw allowed three of the first four batters he faced to reach base, resulting in a run. However, Ferguson was able to get Harold Ramirez to ground out to end the threat. Ferguson picked up his second save to go along with seven holds, and he's pitched very well overall, posting a 1.42 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 19 innings. However, Phillips and Graterol still figure to get most of the save chances for Los Angeles moving forward.

• Dodgers' Caleb Ferguson: Gets first save

  Rotowire May 13, 2023

  Ferguson struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Padres. Brusdar Graterol allowed a pair of two-out singles in the ninth inning, but Ferguson was able to strike out Jake Cronenworth on five pitches to end the threat. Ferguson has two wins and a save over his last three appearances, and he stretched his scoreless streak to 11.1 innings. The southpaw has a 1.17 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB across 15.1 innings while adding five holds and a 3-0 record this season. As long as he's pitching well, he should continue to serve in a setup role.
