Mitch White RP | MIL
Dodgers' Mitch White: Returns to Triple-A
White was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
White was promoted from Triple-A on Saturday and will return there after delivering a scoreless frame in the win over the Brewers. The 26-year-old has been a solid piece for the Dodgers this season with a 3.66 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 49:17 K:BB across 46.2 innings.

Andre Jackson RP | PIT
Dodgers' Andre Jackson: Rejoins big-league club
Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Jackson was sent to Triple-A on Sept. 10 and will rejoin the Dodgers ahead of Game 162. The 25-year-old has appeared in only two major-league games this season and has given up one earned run on six hits with a 7:6 K:BB over 8.2 innings.

Jacob Webb RP | CHC
Braves' Jacob Webb: One-out save
Webb recorded a one-out save Saturday against the Mets, allowing two walks and tossing a wild pitch.
Webb clinched his first save of the season Saturday as he recorded the final out of the game, but it wasn't a relaxed outing by any means -- he walked Michael Conforto and Pete Alonso to load the bases before retiring Jonathan Villar on a groundout. Webb has now tossed two straight scoreless outings, and if he doesn't pitch Sunday, he'll end the season with a 4.19 ERA over 34.1 innings.

Tucker Davidson RP | PHI
Braves' Tucker Davidson: Begins rehab assignment
Davidson (forearm) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
Davidson has been sidelined by the forearm injury since mid-June, but he appears to be in the final stages of his rehab work. The 25-year-old is already eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list, though there's been no indication whether he'll be an option for the postseason roster once fully ramped up.

Reiss Knehr RP | SD
Padres' Reiss Knehr: Starting season finale
Knehr is listed as the Padres' starting pitcher for Sunday's season finale in San Francisco.
After being recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Sept. 28, Knehr covered two innings out of the bullpen later that day against the Dodgers, but he hasn't been used since. He'll get the chance to fill the opening in the rotation for the final game of the season, but because he hasn't covered more than four innings in a game in the majors or minors since late July, the 24-year-old righty isn't expected to work deep into Sunday's start.

Nick Mears RP | KC
Pirates' Nick Mears: Picks up win
Mears (1-0) allowed one hit in one-third of an inning of work en route to the win in Saturday's 8-6 victory over the Reds.
Mears picked up the first decision of his career Saturday night, though he did concede an RBI double that tied the game before inducing a groundout from Nick Castellanos to end the frame. It's probably not how he dreamed of his first big-league win, but they all count.

Max Kranick RP | WAS
Pirates' Max Kranick: Takes no-decision
Kranick allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts through four innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Reds.
Kranick struggled to subdue Cincinnati's bats; the big blow came in the fourth via a two-run shot by Eugenio Suarez that gave the Reds a 4-0 lead. Thankfully for Kranick, the Pirates rallied to spare him the loss. The right-hander finishes the season with an inflated 6.28 ERA and a suboptimal 32:19 K:BB. Even with these numbers, Kranick flashed upside in his first campaign (he was pulled after five perfect innings in his MLB debut against the Cardinals in June), and will squarely be in the fight for a roster spot next season.

Tony Santillan RP | CIN
Reds' Tony Santillan: Takes loss
Santillan (1-3) allowed one run on one hit with two strikeouts in an inning of work, taking the loss in Saturday's 8-6 defeat to the Pirates. He also hit a batter.
Santillan got the first two outs of his inning before plunking Yoshi Tsutsugo and coughing up an RBI triple to Bryan Reynolds that would be the difference in the game. The rookie has had a bit of a topsy-turvy season, as he began life with the Reds as a starter before occupying a few different roles in the bullpen. He'll be an interesting watch in camp next year as Cincinnati tries to figure out how to best deploy the right-hander.

Dylan Floro RP | ARI
Marlins' Dylan Floro: Earns save No. 14
Floro locked down his 14th save of the season Saturday against the Phillies, giving up one hit with a pair of strikeouts.
Floro preserved a 3-1 lead by striking out Andrew McCutchen and J.T. Realmuto before stranding Freddy Galvis's two-out single. The 30-year-old Floro has converted 14 of 20 save opportunities in his first season as a closer, logging a 2.86 ERA and 61:25 K:BB over 63 innings. He's also recorded a career-high 11 holds.
