Fantasy Impact: Handley was designated for assignment by the Orioles last week and finds himself headed to the minors. The 27-year-old has hit just .073 in 47 career MLB plate appearances, debuting in the big leagues in 2025.

Fantasy Impact: The fit in Chicago was a good one for both sides in 2025 after Thielbar posted a 2.64 ERA while matching a career-high with 67 appearances. He should lock down another important late-inning left-handed role in 2026.
