Heston Kjerstad Clears Waivers and Enters Free Agency

Outfielder Heston Kjerstad has entered free agency after clearing outright waivers. Kjerstad has struggled to stay healthy and lock down a permanent major-league spot, playing in only 11 games in 2026. Across parts of four big-league seasons, the soon-to-be 28-year-old has posted a .217/.280/.359 slash line. Out of minor-league options, he remains an intriguing candidate for teams seeking a change of scenery.
