Blake Treinen RP | LAD
Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Return to injured list likely
Treinen (arm) didn't feel right after playing catch Saturday and could return to the injured list, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Shoulder troubles sidelined Treinen from mid-April through early September. While he's thrown a pair of scoreless innings since his return to action, his arm issues have resurfaced. Whether or not a potential trip to the injured list would be brief or season-ending remains to be seen.

Drew Pomeranz RP | LAA
Padres' Drew Pomeranz: Unlikely to pitch this season
Manager Bob Melvin said Saturday that Pomeranz (elbow) is probably not going to pitch this season, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Pomeranz recently received positive news regarding his left elbow, but he isn't expected to have enough time to ramp back up prior to the end of the season. The southpaw had his rehab assignment shut down Aug. 19, and although he'll likely be sidelined for the remainder of 2022, it wouldn't be surprising to see him available for the start of spring training in 2023.

David Bednar RP | NYY
Pirates' David Bednar: Requires rehab assignment
Bednar (back) will require a rehab assignment prior to returning from the injured list, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Bednar threw live batting practice Saturday and will ultimately need to spend some time in the minors before he's activated by the Pirates. The team hasn't yet determined the specifics of his rehab assignment, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the right-hander remain sidelined until at least late next week.

Pierce Johnson RP | CIN
Padres' Pierce Johnson: Activated by Padres
Johnson (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Johnson was sidelined since mid-April due to an elbow injury, but he recently completed a rehab assignment in which he posted a 1.50 ERA and 0.33 WHIP in six innings over six relief appearances. The right-hander picked up five holds over six appearances to begin the season, and it's possible that he works his way into some setup duties for San Diego down the stretch.

John Brebbia RP | COL
Giants' John Brebbia: Opening bullpen game
Brebbia will be the first pitcher on the mound in a bullpen game Sunday against the Cubs, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The Giants continue to turn to bullpen games rather than use another starter in place of Alex Wood (shoulder). Sunday's game will technically be Brebbia's fifth start of the season, but don't expect him to pitch deep into the game. He pitched exactly one inning in each of his previous four "starts" this season.

Reiss Knehr RP | SD
Padres' Reiss Knehr: Sent down by Padres
Knehr was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Knehr joined the Padres' bullpen last week after active rosters expanded to 28 players, but he gave up four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in 1.2 innings during his lone appearance following his promotion. He'll head back to the minors since Pierce Johnson (elbow) is expected to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Trevor Gott RP | WAS
Brewers' Trevor Gott: Rehab assignment on tap
Gott (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A Wisconsin on Sunday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Gott landed on the injured list with a right forearm strain just under a month ago, but he resumed throwing in late August. He's expected to make just one appearance at Wisconsin prior to reporting to Nashville, and it's possible that he'll be cleared to return by next weekend.

Packy Naughton RP | STL
Cardinals' Packy Naughton: Called up by Cardinals
Naughton was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.
Naughton spent just over two weeks in the minors and allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out four in four innings over three relief appearances following his demotion. However, he'll rejoin the Cardinals' bullpen after James Naile was sent down Saturday.
