Miami Marlins claim right-hander Osvaldo Bido off waivers from Tampa Bay Rays

MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Marlins claimed right-hander Osvaldo Bido off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.

Bido was designated for assignment Monday along with infielder Tsung-Che Cheng to make room on the 40-man roster after the Rays acquired infielder Brett Wisely and left-hander Ken Waldichuk from Atlanta.

The 30-year-old Bido spent seven seasons in the minors before making his major league debut with Pittsburgh in 2023. In parts of three major league seasons with the Pirates (2023) and Athletics (2024-25), he went 9-3 with a 5.07 ERA, allowing 191 hits, 82 walks and striking out 179 in 58 appearances.

The Los Hidalgos, Dominican Republic, native was signed by the Pirates as a free agent on March 14, 2017.

Bido went 2-5 with a 5.87 ERA with one save with the Athletics last season.

The arrival of AJ Dybantsa gives Wizards hope

For the first time in almost a half-century, the Washington Wizards could be closer to contending for an NBA title with the arrival of AJ Dybantsa. The team drafted the 6-foot-9 forward with the first pick of the 2026 NBA draft after finishing as one of the worst teams in the league in the past three years. They got the No. 1 overall pick after winning the draft lottery in May for the first time since 2010 -- when they drafted John Wall. The Wizards hope, with the arrival of Dybantsa, that they can start winning games and competing for the playoffs with a chance to win their first championship since 1978. In the past three seasons, they finished with a combined record of 50-196. “We’re definitely getting a difference maker on the basketball court. There’s no doubt about that,” Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said. “What I would want our fans to know night one is that he is a worker. He is a passionate person who loves basketball and will continue to work and get better.”
