Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates in November of 2025.
Reporting to Triple-A Indianapolis
La Sorsa will remain in the Pittsburgh organization and will accept an assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis after going unclaimed off waivers Wednesday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Analysis
La Sorsa, who had attended Pirates camp on a minor-league deal, had an upward-mobility clause in his contract that allowed him to move on from the Pirates if another organization had claimed him off waivers and placed him on its Opening Day roster. However, after finding no suitors on the waiver wire, La Sorsa will stick around with the Pirates and likely serve as a high-leverage arm in the Indianapolis bullpen to begin the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Forcing decision from Cincy
La Sorsa plans to exercise the upward-mobility clause in his minor-league contract with the Reds on Sunday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis
The left-hander appeared to have a good chance to crack Cincinnati's Opening Day roster after boosting his velocity during the offseason, but he's instead spent the first two months of the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Louisville. La Sorsa's average fastball of 94 mph is up over five mph from last season, though he's had command issues at Triple-A with a 3.92 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 14:14 K:BB across 20.2 innings. Once he exercises the clause, he'll hit free agency if the Reds don't add him to the major-league roster.
