The deal includes an invitation to MLB spring training. Neris, a 36-year-old veteran, will be going into his 13th big-league campaign in 2026. The Dominican native spent the 2025 season with the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels, and Houston Astros, posting an elevated 6.75 ERA (5.35 FIP) with a 1.69 WHIP, 35 strikeouts, and 16 walks in 26 2\/3 relief innings. He did not have a single save, but he does have plenty of closing experience with 107 career saves with five different teams. For his career, Neris has a 3.47 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with a 29.4% strikeout rate and 9.2% walk rate. He&#8217;ll be battling for an MLB roster spot in spring training and could start the year at Triple-A Omaha if he remains in the organization.<span class=\"newsByline\">&#8212;<i><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/keithghernandezgmail-com\">Keith Hernandez<\/a><\/i><\/span><br \/><span class=\"newsSource\">Source: <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jonheyman\/status\/2015943629852791235\">celebrity.land &#8211; Jon Heyman<\/a><\/span>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.rotoballer.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hector Neris Signs Minor-League Deal With Royals Share: Link copied to clipboard!
