  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Facing brief shutdown

    Treinen (shoulder) will be shut down from throwing until he's re-evaluated Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    The veteran right-hander was previously expected to be activated from the injured list Thursday, but he won't throw for a few days before the Dodgers decide the next steps to take in his rehab program. Manager Dave Roberts said Treinen "hasn't bounced back" from the shoulder injury as anticipated, leaving his availability for the closing stretch of the regular season, and the playoffs, up in the air.

  • Camilo Doval RP | PIT

    Giants' Camilo Doval: Tallies 24th save

    Doval allowed a hit and struck out one across a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Rockies.

    Doval gave up a two-out hit but still successfully maintained a three-run lead to earn his 24th save of the season. He's now turned in nine consecutive scoreless appearances -- spanning 9.2 innings -- while maintaining a 12:1 K:BB. That stretch has added to Doval's excellent sophomore campaign, as he has a 2.42 ERA across 63.1 frames while blowing only three saves in 27 opportunities.

  • Cardinals' Giovanny Gallegos: Earns 14th save

    Gallegos picked up the save Thursday in San Diego, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning during a 5-4 win.

    Gallegos needed just 10 pitches to record his 14th save of the season and first since Aug. 28. Ryan Helsley came on in the eighth inning to face the heart of the Padres' lineup, opening the door for Gallegos to pick up the save. He has not allowed a baserunner in seven of his eight outings in September and is holding batters to a .197 average on the season.

  • Daniel Hudson RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Team option picked up

    Hudson (knee) had his $6.5 million team option for the 2023 season picked up by the Dodgers on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Hudson was dominant for the Dodgers early in the season, converting five of six save chances while picking up nine holds with a 2.22 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 24.1 innings over 25 appearances. However, he sustained a torn ACL in late June and was unavailable for the second half in the year. The right-hander should factor into the team's late-relief plans once again in 2023 once he completes his recovery.

  • David Bednar RP | NYY

    Pirates' David Bednar: Activated by Pirates

    Bednar (back) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Bednar was on the injured list with his back injury since late July, but he recently made three rehab appearances at Triple-A Indianapolis and allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out four in three innings. The right-hander should reclaim closing duties from Wil Crowe over the final two weeks of the regular season.

  • Tyler Beede RP | CHC

    Pirates' Tyler Beede: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Beede was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    After being designated for assignment by two different teams this season, Beede cleared waivers and is likely to end his season in Triple-A. Beede has covered 61.1 innings in 2022 with a 5.14 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. Once the minor league season wraps up, he will look to make another run at joining the big-league bullpen in 2023.

  • Robert Suarez RP | ATL

    Padres' Robert Suarez: Notches 10th hold

    Suarez picked up a hold against the Cardinals on Wednesday with a perfect inning of work.

    Padres starter Blake Snell tossed seven scoreless frames before departing having thrown 117 pitches. Suarez was called upon to be the bridge to closer Josh Hader and needed just 12 pitches to retire St. Louis in order. It was the former's seventh outing in September, and he's yet to give up a run this month. Suarez has emerged as a key high-leverage arm for San Diego this season, posting a 2.63 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 49:18 K:BB over 41 innings while notching four wins, one save and 10 holds.

  • Cole Waites RP | DET

    Giants' Cole Waites: Optioned to Triple-A

    Waites was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

    Waites gave up one earned run on five hits and four walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings in five September appearances. This was the first big-league cup of coffee for the 24-year-old righty, who is now headed back to the minors.

  • Shelby Miller RP | CHC

    Giants' Shelby Miller: Contract selected by Giants

    Miller's contract was selected from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

    Miller joined the Giants on a minor-league deal in June and posted a 3.62 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 32.1 innings over 27 appearances (one start) at Sacramento over the last few months. He posted a 9.24 ERA in 12.2 innings over 13 relief appearances between the Pirates and Cubs last year and should serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever for the Giants after Cole Waites was sent down Thursday.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Padres' Josh Hader: Records another save

    Hader earned a save against the Cardinals on Wednesday with a perfect ninth inning.

    Hader threw a strike on just six of 12 pitches and didn't fan any batters for the first time in four outings, but he retired St. Louis in order to close out the 1-0 Padres win. The veteran reliever was demoted from the closer role in late August but has since reclaimed the position and successfully recorded five straight save opportunities. Since Aug. 31, he's posted a 1.29 ERA, 0.57 WHIP and 7:1 K:BB over seven innings covering seven appearances.
