4/17/25 Angels Sign Former Astros Veteran World Series Winning Reliever in Free Agency. The Los Angeles Angels have signed free agent reliever Hector Neris to a minor league contract, per the team's transaction log. Neris could be a reinforcement for a bullpen that is short one of its best back-end relievers in Ben Joyce if he proves he can provide depth for the Halos. Neris was designated for assignment by the Atlanta Braves at the end of March.

4/03/25 Astros World Series Champion Now Free Agent After Terrible Start with Braves. Hector Neris was part of the pitching staff that helped clinch the 2022 World Series title for the Houston Astros.

By electing for free agency, that means Neris likely refused an assignment to the minor leagues.

3/31/25 Atlanta Braves Bullpen Not as Bad as You Think. The Atlanta Braves were swept by the San Diego Padres in a four-game series to open the season. A major sticking point from the rocky start has been the bullpen. In 12 innings pitched, the bullpen has an egregious 6.75 ERA early on. Five of those runs have been changed to Hector Neris.

The Chicago Cubs brought Hector Neris in ahead of the 2024 season in an effort to bolster the bullpen and bring a veteran presence to the mix - one with extensive experience in big spots and late innings.

8/26/24 Houston Astros Star Reliever Nearing Return After His Stint on Injured List. When the Houston Astros reunited with Hector Neris after he was surprisingly released by the Chicago Cubs, that move was as much to solidify the backend of their bullpen for the stretch run as it was to mitigate the loss felt by Ryan Pressly being on the injured list. With the Astros now on top of the AL West standings, they're looking to ensure they get into the playoffs by winning another division title. For Houston to make another deep run, though, they'll need their bullpen healthy.

8/21/24 Prospect News: Rocker Is Rolling, Walker Sent Packing. The Cubs released closer Hector Neris, which probably makes Jorge Lopez the closer for now. The club also recalled deadline acquisition RHP Jack Neely, a former Yankees prospect who checks in at a gargantuan 6’8” 245 lbs. He’s thrown 6.2 scoreless innings with a 52 percent strikeout rate for Triple-A Iowa since the trade that sent him there. RHP Porter Hodge is the early favorite for the gig in 2025 until further notice, specifically a notice of the club getting involved in the reliever reclamation market as it often does. RHP Tyson Miller has been excellent this season but doesn’t feature the wipeout arsenal most teams want in a guy who handles the ninth. Meanwhile, jettisoned Cubbie farmhands RHPs Manuel Rodriguez and Jeremiah Estrada are key pieces of other teams’ bullpens. I won’t count RHP Hunter Bigge because he at least was traded for something. Can’t win ‘em all, I realize, but here’s hoping Neely gets a real opportunity to nail down a long-term roster spot.

8/17/24 Cubs' 'nasty' bullpen delivers in rain-filled win over Blue Jays. The run snapped his streak of 16 scoreless innings and conjured memories of Hector Neris' blown save Friday. Then with the Blue Jays down to their last out and slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at the plate, Lopez got him to chase three consecutive sliders for the strikeout that ended the Cubs' 3-2 victory.

8/16/24 Cubs host Blue Jays with an eye on wild-card chase. Nothing is easy these days for the Chicago Cubs, who are battling to stay within striking distance in the crowded National League wild-card race. The Cubs will try to build some much-needed momentum when they continue a three-game series against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.

7/11/24 Houston Astros Could Reunite with Reliever Who Got Away. The Houston Astros bullpen hasn't exactly gone the way that they had hoped it would. As Tim Kelly of Bleacher Report searched for under-the-radar trade candidates ahead of the MLB deadline, a former Houston pitcher found himself on the list. After signing with the Chicago Cubs back in February, Hector Neris might already be on the move. It looks as though Chicago won't be competing for a World Series this year and will likely be selling off players they can get something in return for.

6/20/24 Chicago Cubs Trade Proposal Pulls Off Deal With Cross-Town Rival White Sox. The Chicago Cubs once again saw just how bad their bullpen is on Monday night against the San Francisco Giants. It has become a normal thing for the Cubs to blow leads late in games this season. No fan feels safe about any lead that Chicago is able to get. Hector Neris is the latest player to attempt filling the closer role.

6/18/24 Craig Counsell's stance on Cubs closer role after Hector Neris' latest debacle. The Chicago Cubs have a closer issue on their hands. Hector Neris has been brutal in his last three appearances, blowing two saves and allowing eight runs in total. In his last outing, he surrendered a three-run home run to Thairo Estrada that gave the San Francisco Giants a lead they wouldn't relinquish in the ninth inning. The Cubs are 34-39 right now, good for last place in the NL Central.

5/01/24 Chicago Cubs fans must see the insane ending to victory over the New York Mets. Given the bullpen struggles, specifically closing out games, Cubs fans have grown used to holding their breaths whenever the North Siders are in a save situation. Veteran Hector Neris has been the reliever that Cubs' manager Craig Counsell in place of Adbert Alzolay as the team's closer and Neris was on the mound on Wednesday as he tried to earn his fifth save in as many opportunities. For Neris, while he has converted each save opportunity that he has faced this season, it hasn't been clean.
