Nationals' Jose Ferrer: Blows save, takes loss Friday
Ferrer (4-4) blew the save and took the loss against the White Sox on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits in the ninth inning. He did not record a walk or strikeout.
Ferrer was called upon to close out a late rally but allowed a two-run homer to Colson Montgomery in the ninth inning. After posting 14 straight scoreless appearances from Aug. 6 to Sept. 9, the southpaw has given up seven earned runs over his last five outings. For the season, he has 21 holds and 10 saves with a 4.42 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 68:16 K:BB across 75.1 innings.

Phillies' Jhoan Duran: Secures 32nd save
Duran earned the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Twins, allowing two hits and no walks with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.
Duran needed 23 pitches to escape with the save, stranding two runners in scoring position with a game-ending flyout. The 27-year-old has been shaky of late, giving up runs in three of his past five appearances with just one clean outing in that span. For the season, he's 32-for-37 in save chances with a 2.06 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 80:19 K:BB across 70 innings.

Andrew Hoffmann RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Andrew Hoffmann: Up from Reno
The Diamondbacks recalled Hoffmann from Triple-A Reno on Friday.
Hoffmann hasn't pitched in the minors since Sept. 4 due to complications with his elbow, but he is evidently feeling well enough to help the Diamondbacks' bullpen during the final series of the regular season. The 25-year-old carries a 6.55 ERA and 2.00 WHIP through 11 innings in the majors this year and likely won't pitch outside of low-leverage situations while with Arizona.

Brock Stewart RP | LAD
Dodgers' Brock Stewart: Scheduled for surgery
Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Stewart will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Stewart has been attempting to work his way back from shoulder inflammation since mid-August, but he'll now opt to go under the knife to address the issue and miss the postseason. It's currently unclear whether the 33-year-old reliever will be able to pitch by the start of spring training next year, but a recovery timeline may emerge following his procedure.

DL Hall RP | MIL
Brewers' DL Hall: Activation pending
Hall (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list this weekend, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Friday.
Hall has been sidelined since Aug. 16 due to a strained right oblique, and he's slated to return this weekend and pitch in a contest before the end of the regular season. Hall has served as a long reliever for the Brewers this season, but injuries have limited him to 19 big-league appearances. The 26-year-old has posted a 3.35 ERA and a 27:17 K:BB across 37.2 innings for Milwaukee in 2025.

Trevor Megill RP | MIL
Brewers' Trevor Megill: Likely to return Sunday
Megill (elbow) threw a simulated inning Friday and is likely to be activated from the 15-day injured list to pitch in Sunday's regular-season finale, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Megill threw a bullpen Tuesday and faced batters Friday, completing both sessions without a hitch. He's set up to come off the injured list to make an appearance in Sunday's contest, knocking off some rust before the NLDS, which begins Oct. 4. Megill hasn't appeared in a game since Aug. 24 due to a right flexor strain.

Bryce Jarvis RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Recalled from Reno
The Diamondbacks recalled Jarvis from Triple-A Reno on Friday.
Jarvis has been with Reno since early September, but he'll rejoin the 28-man roster Friday in place of Nabil Crismatt. Jarvis has posted a 6.10 ERA in 20.2 innings with Arizona this season and an 8.47 ERA in 78.2 innings for Reno.

Hayden Harris RP | ATL
Braves' Hayden Harris: Rejoins big-league bullpen
Atlanta recalled Harris from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.
Harris will provide manager Brian Snitker with another bullpen arm for the final series of the season versus the Pirates. The southpaw yielded one run over 2.2 relief innings earlier this month for Atlanta.

Kyle Leahy RP | STL
Cardinals' Kyle Leahy: In line to start bullpen game
Leahy is lined up to serve as the Cardinals' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
As long as Leahy isn't needed to pitch in relief Friday or Saturday, he'll lead off a bullpen game in the final day of the regular season. Leahy has never started a game at the big-league level, but the Cardinals plan to stretch him out next season for a potential spot in the rotation. The 28-year-old hasn't gone more than two innings in any of his last 15 appearances, so his workload will be limited Sunday.

Edwin Diaz RP | NYM
Mets' Edwin Diaz: Secures 28th save
Diaz allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.
Diaz gave up a leadoff single to Carson Kelly but erased it with a game-ending double play from Dansby Swanson. It's been a strong September for Diaz, who has allowed just one run while posting a 17:3 K:BB over 11.2 innings, though the Mets haven't given him a ton of chances to rack up saves. For the season, he's 28-for-31 in save conversions while pitching to a 1.71 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 96:21 K:BB through 63.1 innings.
