Blue Jays' Mitch White: Called up prior to start
White was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Friday's start against the Rays.
White made a start at Buffalo on Sunday and allowed eight runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out five in five innings. In spite of his lackluster results, he'll rejoin the major-league club and should have a chance to remain in the rotation, especially if he performs well against the Rays.

Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY
Rays' Ryan Yarbrough: Placed on IL
Yarbrough (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
As expected, Yarbrough was placed on the IL after he suffered a right oblique strain in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays. The left-hander will now miss the remainder of the regular season but will have a shot at returning early in the playoffs. Calvin Faucher was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday to replace Yarbrough on the active roster.

Rays' Calvin Faucher: Recalled to majors
Faucher was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Faucher will join the Rays' big-league roster alongside Cristofer Ogando with Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) moving to the injured list and Dusten Knight being designated for assignment. Faucher's latest stint in the majors came earlier this month when he gave up three earned runs over 4.2 innings out of the bullpen.

Sam Moll RP | CIN
Athletics' Sam Moll: Will miss rest of season
Moll (shoulder) will not return in 2022, the Associated Press reports.
The book is therefore closed on a very encouraging campaign for the 30-year-old, who mostly toiled in the minor leagues for eight-plus seasons before finally sticking on the big-league roster in 2021. Moll came into his own this season, producing a 2.91 ERA and 9.6 K/9 with two wins and 16 holds across 53 appearances. Under full team control through 2024, Moll should be healthy well in advance of spring training and slot into a key middle-relief role in 2023.

Adam Oller RP | MIA
Athletics' Adam Oller: Friday bullpen scheduled
Oller (ribs) is slated to throw a bullpen session Friday, the Associated Press reports.
Oller began a throwing progression Tuesday, and he's apparently ready to throw off a mound Friday as his next step. Manager Mark Kotsay noted the right-hander will be "on track to be ready to go if everything goes well", seemingly giving Oller, who's already eligible for activation from the IL, a chance to return before the end of the regular season.

Kirby Snead RP | SEA
Athletics' Kirby Snead: Takes first loss Thursday
Snead (1-1) took the loss against the Mariners on Thursday, allowing two earned runs on two hits, a walk and a wild pitch over two-thirds of an inning.
His messy line during a brief 17-pitch outing came after the southpaw inherited a one-on, no-out situation from starter Adrian Martinez. Snead opened September with three straight scoreless appearances, but he's allowed six earned runs on 10 hits across 4.1 innings over his subsequent five trips to the mound.

Felix Bautista RP | BAL
Orioles' Felix Bautista: Records one-out save
Bautista picked up the save in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Astros, striking out the only batter he faced.
Bautista has converted 13 straight save opportunities, recording a 1.99 ERA over 22.2 innings in 20 outings during that span. During his last three appearances prior to Thursday's outing, however, the righty had allowed two runs and six baserunners over four innings.

JT Chargois RP | TEX
Rays' JT Chargois: Allows one run
Chargois did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on two hits and zero walks over one inning against the Blue Jays. He struck out one.
Chargois gave up a leadoff triple to George Springer to start the game, who then came around to score on a Bo Bichette double two batters later. Fortunately, the right-hander managed to escape the inning without allowing any further damage before making way for Ryan Yarbrough in the second inning. Chargois had not allowed a run in five straight contests coming into Thursday's matchup.

Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE
Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Tallies 37th save
Clase earned a save against the White Sox on Thursday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning.
Cleveland carried a two-run lead into the ninth frame and, as expected, handed the ball to Clase. The right-hander needed just 12 pitches (eight of which were strikes) to set down the side in order. Clase has picked up seven saves in nine chances in September and leads the league with 37 saves overall this season.

Mitch White RP | MIL
Blue Jays' Mitch White: Starting Friday
White will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo to start Friday against the Rays, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
The 27-year-old pitched for Buffalo on Sunday and will rejoin the big club to start Friday in Tampa Bay. White had a 3.70 ERA over 56 innings with the Dodgers to begin the season, but he's struggled since being acquired by the Blue Jays with 26 earned runs allowed in 31.1 frames.
