Athletics' Michael Stefanic: Re-signs on MiLB pact
Stefanic re-signed Wednesday with the Athletics on a minor-league contract.
The Athletics designated Stefanic for assignment over the weekend, and upon clearing waivers, the 30-year-old infielder elected free agency. He was on the open market for just two days before opting to return to the Athletics organization and agreeing to report to Triple-A Las Vegas. Before being dropped from the 40-man roster, Stefanic saw action in two games for the Athletics and went 2-for-5 with a run.

Athletics' Michael Stefanic: Will report to Triple-A
Stefanic was sent outright to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.
Stefanic was booted from the 40-man roster Saturday, and after going unclaimed on waivers, he'll head to Triple-A. The 30-year-old appeared in two games for the A's and went 2-for-5 with one run scored during his brief time with the big-league club.

Athletics' Michael Stefanic: Dropped from 40-man
The Athletics designated Stefanic for assignment Saturday.
Stefanic will be pushed off the Athletics' 26- and 40-man rosters following the team's acquisition of Alika Williams from Pittsburgh on Saturday. Stefanic went 2-for-5 with a run scored during his four-day stint in the majors and owns a .706 OPS through 149 plate appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas. He'll likely spend the rest of the season as organizational depth if he clears waivers.

Athletics' Michael Stefanic: Contract selected
The Athletics selected Stefanic's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old will get a look in the big leagues with the A's after signing as a non-roster invitee in December and failing to make the Opening Day roster. Stefanic's .250/.351/.355 slash line in 149 plate appearances at Triple-A this year is underwhelming, though he does have a 17:16 BB:K. He'll provide the club with some infield depth as Jacob Wilson (shoulder) heads to the injured list.

Athletics' Michael Stefanic: Fails to crack Opening Day roster
The Athletics reassigned Stefanic to minor-league camp Sunday.
Stefanic was one of 11 players sent out in the Athletics' latest round of roster cuts. The 30-year-old infielder spent most of the 2025 season at the Triple-A level as a member of the Blue Jays organization but saw action in nine games with the big club, going 4-for-22 at the dish.

Athletics' Michael Stefanic: Signs with Athletics as NRI
The Athletics signed Stefanic to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Stefanic saw spot duty with the Blue Jays in 2025 but spent most of the year at Triple-A Buffalo, where he slashed .287/.403/.383 over 106 contests. The utility player will turn 30 in February and is a career .227/.314/.267 hitter over parts of four major-league seasons.

Michael Stefanic: Becomes free agent
Stefanic elected free agency Sunday.
Stefanic spent the majority of his 2025 season at Triple-A Buffalo, batting .287 with six homers, 51 RBI, six stolen bags and 48 runs scored in 106 appearances. He was utilized briefly in the big leagues, going 4-for-22 with three walks in nine games. Stefanic will search for an opportunity elsewhere following this transaction.

Blue Jays' Michael Stefanic: Clears waivers
The Blue Jays outrighted Stefanic to Triple-A Buffalo on June 7.
Though he's no longer a member of the Blue Jays' 40-man roster, Stefanic remains in the organization and should continue to play regularly at Buffalo. Since clearing waivers and reporting to Buffalo, Stefanic has gone 9-for-29 (.310 average) with three doubles, four walks, four runs and one RBI in seven games.

Blue Jays' Michael Stefanic: Booted from 40-man roster
The Blue Jays designated Stefanic for assignment Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Blue Jays' Michael Stefanic: Called up to majors
The Blue Jays selected Stefanic's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.
The move corresponds with the Blue Jays placing Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list. Stefanic signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays in November after appearing in 40 games for the Angels in 2024 when he posted a .556 OPS with eight RBI over 124 plate appearances. He's been more productive in the minors this season, slashing .319/.454/.372 with four stolen bases, seven runs scored and 13 RBI in 119 plate appearances. With Gimenez on the shelf, Stefanic should see some playing time at second base on days when Ernie Clement shifts to third.

Blue Jays' Michael Stefanic: Inks minors deal with Toronto
The Blue Jays signed Stefanic to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Nate Heisler of Klutch Sports reports.
Stefanic elected free agency after being outrighted off the Angels' 40-man roster in October. The 28-year-old has slashed just .232/.317/.275 over parts of three big-league seasons and will likely begin 2025 as a utility infielder at Triple-A Buffalo.

Angels' Michael Stefanic: Bumped off roster
Stefanic was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
Stefanic earned a career-high 124 plate appearances in 2024 but maintained just a .556 OPS with zero home runs. Depending on the Angels' offseason moves, Stefanic could be a depth option along the infield in 2025.

Angels' Michael Stefanic: Back in lineup Tuesday
Stefanic (calf) will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Stefanic hadn't started in any of the last four games after he was removed from Friday's game against the Astros with calf tightness, but he felt well enough to make an appearance off the bench Sunday. His return to the lineup Wednesday indicates that he's healthy, but Stefanic will likely have to settle for more of a part-time role once Brandon Drury is fully recovers from a hamstring injury. Drury is back in the lineup Wednesday as the Angels' designated hitter following a five-game absence.

Angels' Michael Stefanic: Sitting down Tuesday
Stefanic isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.
Stefanic appeared as a pinch runner during Sunday's contest, suggesting that he's moved past his calf issue, but he'll grab a seat on the bench Tuesday while Charles Leblanc starts at second base in place of the injured Brandon Drury (hamstring).

Angels' Michael Stefanic: Not starting Sunday
Stefanic (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Stefanic will be on the bench for a second straight game while he tends to a right calf injury. With Brandon Drury (hamstring) also day-to-day and not included in the lineup, the Angels will have spots available in the infield for Jack Lopez at second base and Eric Wagaman at third base.

Angels' Michael Stefanic: Sitting out Saturday
Stefanic (calf) isn't in the Angels' lineup for Saturday's game against Houston, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Stefanic made an early exit from Friday's game with what was labeled as minor tightness in his right calf, but it seems to be serious enough to warrant sitting him down Saturday. Jack Lopez will get the starting nod at second base instead and bat ninth.

Angels' Michael Stefanic: Dealing with minor tightness
Stefanic was removed from Friday's game versus the Astros due to right calf tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Manager Ron Washington said after Friday's loss that Stefanic's injury is relatively minor, so an extended absence is unlikely. If he and Brandon Drury (hamstring) are both unable to play Saturday, Jack Lopez would be the favorite to start at second base.

Angels' Michael Stefanic: Retreating to bench Wednesday
Stefanic is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Stefanic will head to the bench after he went 1-for-9 with a walk, a run and an RBI while starting in each of the Angels' previous three games. With Anthony Rendon (oblique) recently landing on the injured list, Stefanic should have a chance at seeing steadier playing time in the Anaheim infield over the final two and a half weeks of the season.

Angels' Michael Stefanic: Playing time dropping off
Stefanic will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Though he'll be included in the lineup in the series finale, Stefanic's playing time appears to be drying up after he previously started five and four consecutive games earlier this month. Stefanic has gone just 1-for-24 over his last seven contests and will likely continue to play second fiddle at the keystone to Brandon Drury.

Angels' Michael Stefanic: Getting fourth straight start
Stefanic will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Stefanic will pick up his fourth straight start, all of which have come against left-handed pitching. Though he's slashing .462/.500/.538 in eight games since being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on July 30, Stefanic could be limited to a short-side platoon role in the infield now that Anthony Rendon has recently returned from the injured list.
