Buttrey signed a minor league contract back in February and never wound up making it to the big leagues in Houston. The 30-year-old righty reliever hasn’t pitched in the majors since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.

The 29-year-old hurler hasn't pitched in the big leagues since the 2020 season. He really struggled at Triple-A Salt Lake in 2022, registering a cringe-inducing 5.94 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and a 30/23 K/BB ratio across 36 1/3 innings of work. He'll look to compete for a spot in the club's Opening Day bullpen during Grapefruit League play.

Buttrey passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment last week. The 29-year-old righty reliever hasn't appeared in the majors since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.
