Fri Jul 2609:12Brent Honeywell Records First Save
The Los Angeles Dodgers turned to relief pitcher Brent Honeywell in Thursday's victory against the division rival San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers turned to their main late-inning options, Daniel Hudson, Evan Phillips, Alex Vesia and Blake Treinen in innings six through eight, leaving Honeywell for the ninth inning. Honeywell has pitched to a 0.79 ERA in 11 1/3 innings this season, but managers shouldn't expect many more save opportunities for him in the future. Even with Evan Phillips struggling lately, Hudson, Vesia and Treinen remain ahead of Honeywell in most games. For now, Honeywell can safely remain on the waiver wire.

Sun Jul 1412:22Brent Honeywell Starting In Bullpen Day For Dodgers
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Brent Honeywell, who was claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday, will make his Dodgers debut and serve as the opener in Sunday's series finale against the hosting Detroit Tigers in a bullpen game for LA. Manager Dave Roberts said that Honeywell might be built up to throw around 40 pitches on Sunday after arriving in Detroit around midnight. It's a sign of how badly the Dodgers rotation is hurting right now heading into next week's All-Star break. The 29-year-old Honeywell doesn't have a terrible matchup but is likely to only go a few innings and isn't recommended as a fantasy streamer. The former Rays top prospect only threw 3 1/3 relief innings for Pittsburgh this year and allowed an earned run with two walks and one strikeout. If he remains on the big-league roster in the second, he'll operate in a long-relief role.

Fri Jul 1212:10Pirates Designate Brent Honeywell For Assignment
The Pittsburgh Pirates designated right-hander Brent Honeywell for assignment on Friday, according to sources. Honeywell didn't even make it a full week on the Pirates' big-league roster after they selected his contract from the minors last weekend. The 29-year-old former top prospect of the Tampa Bay Rays couldn't stay healthy early in his career and is close to washing out of the league entirely at this point. In 3 1/3 innings of relief for Pittsburgh this year, he gave up an earned run while walking two and striking out one. He went 1-3 at Triple-A Indianapolis with a 4.85 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with seven saves, 33 strikeouts and 17 walks in 39 innings pitched. After coming up as a starter earlier in his career, Honeywell has become a reliever and could be headed back to Indy if he clears waivers.

Thu Feb 812:24Brent Honeywell Agrees With Pirates On Minors Pact
Free-agent right-hander Brent Honeywell agreed with the Pittsburgh Pirates on a minor-league deal on Wednesday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Honeywell would earn a $1.25 million salary in the major leagues in 2024. The 28-year-old former second-rounder was once one of the Tampa Bay Rays' top pitching prospects, but injuries have since derailed his career and shifted him to a relief role. He spent the 2023 campaign with the San Diego Padres and Chicago White Sox, going a combined 2-4 with a 4.82 ERA (5.62 FIP) and 1.45 WHIP with 23 walks and 45 strikeouts in his first full major-league season. Honeywell should eventually resurface in the big leagues in the Pirates' bullpen, but he could begin the year at Triple-A Indianapolis.

Fri Jan 6 202318:15Padres Agree With Brent Honeywell Jr. Friday
The San Diego Padres and free-agent right-hander Brent Honeywell Jr. agreed to a split major-league deal on Friday, according to sources. Honeywell will make $725,000 if he's in the big leagues and $200,000 in the minor leagues. The 27-year-old former top prospect with the Tampa Bay Rays spent the 2022 in the minors with the Oakland Athletics, going 0-3 with a 7.08 ERA, 1.96 WHIP, 24 strikeouts and eight walks in 20 1/3 frames over 13 appearances (two starts) at Single-A Stockton and Triple-A Las Vegas. Honeywell still has interesting strikeout upside, but he just needs to remain healthy in order to have a shot at sticking on the Friars major-league roster as starting/relief depth.

Fri Aug 26 202214:49Brent Honeywell Jr. Allows Three Runs In Latest Rehab Start
Oakland Athletics right-hander Brent Honeywell Jr. (elbow) gave up three earned runs on five hits (one homer allowed) while walking one and striking out four in 2 2/3 innings in his minor league rehab outing for Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. He also hit a batter and threw a wild pitch. The 27-year-old has a rough 14.73 ERA in just 3 2/3 innings in two appearances at Las Vegas, so the A's will probably want to see some better results before considering having him join the major league club. Once a top prospect for the Tampa Bay Rays, Honeywell's career continues to be set back by injuries. In his first three big-league appearances last year in Tampa, he allowed four earned runs while walking three and striking out four in 4 1/4 innings.

Mon Aug 22 202211:17Brent Honeywell Jr. To Make Another Rehab Start Tuesday
Oakland Athletics right-hander Brent Honeywell Jr. (elbow) has already made a pair of minor league rehab outings with Single-A Stockton, and he'll make his next appearance with Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. Though the A's still view Honeywell as a starter in the long term, manager Mark Kotsay said that Honeywell will likely pitch out of the bullpen for the team this year if he's able to properly build up his workload to return to the majors before the season is over. He's been dealing with a stress reaction in the back of his right elbow since late March in spring training and has yet to make his debut with the A's. The 27-year-old has allowed a run on four hits while walking one and striking out three in three innings in his two rehab starts for Stockton.

Sun Aug 14 202213:25Brent Honeywell Jr. Will Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday
Oakland Athletics right-handed pitcher Brent Honeywell Jr. (elbow) will begin a Minor League rehab assignment with Low-A Stockton on Tuesday. The 27-year-old has been out all season with a stress reaction in his right elbow but he's inching his way towards a 2022 debut sometime in September. He pitched in a simulated game on Saturday and will keep progressing in his rehab, barring any setbacks.

Mon Aug 8 202221:33Brent Honeywell Jr. To Throw Simulated Game Friday
Oakland A's right-hander Brent Honeywell Jr. (elbow) is scheduled to throw a simulated game on Friday in Arizona. Honeywell has yet to appear in a game in 2022 due to a stress reaction in his throwing elbow. The 24-year-old emerged from throwing live batting practice on Monday without any issues. For what it's worth, manager Mark Kotsay told reporters that there may not be enough time to build Honeywell's arm up to be a starter, so he might work out of the bullpen for the A's if he returns in 2022.

Mon Mar 28 202214:10Brent Honeywell Jr. Shut Down Indefinitely
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Brent Honeywell Jr. (elbow) has been shut down from throwing indefinitely after an MRI/CT scan showed an olecranon stress reaction in the bone in the back of his right elbow, according to trainer Nick Paparesta. The 26-year-old was once a top prospect for the Tampa Bay Rays, but injuries have derailed his career. He missed three straight seasons from 2018-20 with elbow injuries and finally made his big-league debut by throwing 4 1/3 innings last year. Honeywell will now go back on the shelf with more elbow issues, and it's uncertain when he might be ready to pitch for the A's. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues shouldn't hold out too much hope for him at this point.

Sat Nov 20 202112:17A's Acquire Brent Honeywell Jr. From Rays
The Oakland Athletics acquired right-hander Brent Honeywell Jr. from the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday in exchange for cash considerations. Honeywell was recently one of the top-rated pitching prospects, but multiple elbow injuries have derailed his progression. The 26-year-old was a second-rounder for the Rays in 2014, but since 2017, he has had four elbow surgeries. Honeywell was able to return this year and went 5-4 with a 3.97 ERA, two saves and 67 strikeouts in 31 games for Triple-A Durham, and he made his major league debut with Tampa while giving up four runs in 4 1/3 innings over three games. When healthy, Honeywell has a nice four-pitch mix, and he's held hitters to a .232 average in 110 minor league appearances. It will be interesting to see if Oakland uses Honeywell in a relief role moving forward.
