Mar 14 2024Llovera cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Tacoma. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After acquiring Llovera from the Red Sox in January via waiver claim, the Mariners will get to keep Llovera in their organization after passing him through waivers. Llovera turned in a 4.89 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 35 innings between the Giants and Red Sox last season, and he could potentially return to the majors in 2024 if Seattle runs into depth issues over the course of the season.
Jan 10 2024The Mariners claimed Llovera off waivers from the Red Sox on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera was jettisoned from Boston's 40-man roster last week and has now found a new home. The 27-year-old posted a 5.46 ERA over 25 appearances with the Red Sox in 2023. He holds a career 5.80 ERA across 54 outings at the big-league level.
Jan 3 2024Llovera was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A 40-man roster move was needed in order to add Lucas Giolito, and Llovera is the casualty. Llovera, 27, collected a 5.46 ERA over 25 appearances with the Red Sox in 2023 and holds a career 5.80 mark across 54 outings at the major-league level spanning parts of four seasons.
Jul 26 2023The Giants traded Llovera to the Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league reliever Marques Johnson. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera was designated for assignment by San Francisco on Saturday and will retain a 40-man roster spot with his new club. The 27-year-old righty holds a 3.92 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 20.2 frames in Triple-A this season, and he's given up just one run through 5.1 innings in the majors. Llovera doesn't have any options remaining, so he'll likely be used in middle relief out of Boston's bullpen. Kaleb Ort (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL to make room on Boston's 40-man roster.
Jul 22 2023Llovera was designated for assignment by the Giants on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: San Francisco needed to clear out a 26-man roster spot for the return of Luke Jackson (back) and Llovera is out of minor-league options, thus the DFA. The 27-year-old right-hander had allowed just one run in 5.1 innings of relief this season with the Giants.
Jul 15 2023Llovera (1-0) didn't give up a run or a hit in two-thirds of an inning, allowing one walk and picking up the win Friday versus the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera has a 3:1 K:BB over 2.2 innings across two appearances since he was selected to the Giants' roster last Thursday. The right-hander posted a solid 3.92 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB over 20.2 innings with Triple-A Sacramento prior to his promotion. With San Francisco enjoying stability in the late innings, Llovera is likely to feature in mainly low-leverage spots.
Jul 6 2023San Francisco selected Llovera's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera will give the Giants a fresh bullpen arm for the final stretch of games before the All-Star break. The 27-year-old right-hander was sporting a 3.92 ERA and 24:6 K:BB through 20.2 innings of work this season at the Triple-A level.
Feb 27 2023Llovera (elbow) is set to pitch in Monday's Cactus League game versus the Angels, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera is in Giants camp on a non-roster invitation after signing a minor-league contract in November. He was injured in mid-July and remained out for the rest of the 2022 season with a Grade 3 right flexor strain. The right-hander appears set to ramp up in line with the rest of the Giants' relief candidates, though he'll likely need an impressive spring to work his way back onto the 40-man roster.
Nov 18 2022The Giants declined to tender Llovera a contract for 2023. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera's contract was selected in late April and he was up and down between levels over the subsequent few months, pitching to a 4.41 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB over 16.1 innings during his time with the big club. A Grade 2 right flexor strain ended his season and it may ultimately end his time in the Giants organization.
Jul 21 2022Llovera (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera sustained a Grade 2 right flexor strain last week and will be unavailable for at least two months due to the injury. It's not yet known whether the Giants expect him to return for the final few weeks of the regular season, but the team signed Trevor Rosenthal (hamstring) to a one-year contract Thursday.
Jul 16 2022Llovera was placed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 2 right flexor strain Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera exited Friday's win over the Brewers after throwing 1.2 relief innings, and he'll be forced to miss at least two weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain. A timetable for the right-hander's return isn't yet clear, but he isn't eligible to be activated until at least the end of July.
Jul 15 2022Llovera was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers with an unspecified injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera delivered 1.2 scoreless innings before leaving with the training staff during the seventh inning. The right-hander should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.
Jul 4 2022Llovera was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera has already gone up-and-down several times this season, and the Giants decided to bring up back once more. As he did before, he will provide depth in San Francisco's bullpen.
Jun 19 2022The Giants optioned Llovera to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera will lose his spot on the 26-man active roster after the Giants reinstated Alex Cobb (neck) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Pirates. During his week-long stay in the big leagues, Llovera tossed a scoreless inning in each of his relief appearances.
Jun 13 2022Llovera was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Monday's game against Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera has appeared in nine games for the Giants in 2022, putting together a 5.87 ERA and 1.57 WHIP with a 9:2 K:BB across 7.2 frames. Heliot Ramos was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
May 26 2022Llovera was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After being called up May 16, Llovera appeared in five games, pitching 3.2 innings while giving up four runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts. He will now return to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday and wait for another shot to prove himself in the big-leagues.
May 16 2022Llovera was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Giants will add a fresh arm to the bullpen in Llovera, who hasn't appeared for San Francisco in just over 10 days. Through four appearances in 2022, he's allowed one run on three hits and struck out five over four innings of relief work.
May 6 2022Llovera was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He will likely be back up in short order after giving up one run on three hits and zero walks while striking out five over four innings -- all in the past calendar week. Sean Hjelle will take a spot in the big-league bullpen.
May 5 2022Llovera will start Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera has allowed one run over three innings since being promoted from Triple-A Sacramento on April 29, and he'll receive his first major-league start Thursday. He's likely to cover an inning or two with the Giants going with a bullpen game in the series opener.
Aug 20 2021Llovera was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera has allowed seven earned runs on 10 hits (five home runs) and four walks across 6.2 innings this season, so Friday's move comes as little surprise. He'll be placed on waivers for the time being, but it's very possible he goes unclaimed given his underwhelming season to this point.
Aug 3 2021Llovera was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley prior to Tuesday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera will rejoin the Philadelphia bullpen after elbow tendinitis forced Connor Brogdon to the injured list Tuesday. Llovera has made two previous big-league appearances this season, allowing one run on two hits and three walks across three innings.
Jul 23 2021Llovera was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera had been with the team since Tuesday, allowing one run in two innings of work Thursday against Atlanta in his lone appearance. He'll make way for Alec Bohm to return from the COVID-19 injured list.
Jul 20 2021Llovera was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was sent to Triple-A over the weekend but will make a quick return to the Phillies with relievers JD Hammer (undisclosed) and Bailey Falter (undisclosed) placed on the COVID-19 injured list. Llovera pitched a scoreless frame in his lone appearance of the season and should fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.
Jul 17 2021The Phillies optioned Llovera to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The righty pitched Friday in his only big-league appearance thus far in 2021, recording one strikeout in a scoreless inning while allowing a hit and hitting a batter. He's optioned to clear a roster spot for Connor Brogdon (COVID-19) to be activated Saturday.
Jul 11 2021Llovera was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley prior to Sunday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera gets his first call to the big leagues this season after four Phillies were placed on the COVID-19 injured list Sunday. Llovera's lone major-league outing did not go well last season, as the right-hander allowed four runs on five hits and one walk in just one inning of work. Llovera, who has posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 25 innings at Lehigh Valley this season, should be available out of the Philadelphia bullpen Sunday.
Mar 13 2021Llovera was reassigned to minor-league camp Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera had visa issues to begin spring training and didn't appear in any Grapefruit League games. He appears to be set to begin the regular season in the minors but could provide bullpen help in the majors at some point in 2021.
Sep 6 2020Llovera was called up from the alternative site Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera took part in both the team's original spring training and ramp up in July, though he's now set to make his major-league debut. He has not pitched above Double-A Reading, though he did rack up 72 strikeouts across 65.1 innings there in 2019 in a tough environment for pitchers. He should serve as depth in the bullpen.
Mar 10 2020The Phillies optioned Llovera to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Llovera was one of two recent additions to the 40-man roster who was sent to Triple-A on Tuesday, with fellow pitcher Garrett Cleavinger joining him in Lehigh Valley. The Phillies are expected to continue developing Llovera as a starter, so he'll presumably slot into the Triple-A rotation for what will be his first taste of the International League. The 23-year-old spent the 2019 season exclusively at Double-A Reading, posting a 4.55 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 65.1 innings.
