  • Trevor Megill RP | MIL

    Brewers' Trevor Megill: Hoping to return Sunday

    The Brewers are hopeful Megill (elbow) will be activated from the 15-day injured list Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Megill has not had a smooth recovery from a right flexor strain that's kept him out all of September. He'll try throwing off the mound again Tuesday, though, with a 25-to-30 pitch, two "up" bullpen session. If that goes well, Megill could make it back for one appearance on the final day of the regular season as he tests out his readiness for the playoffs.

  • Nationals' Orlando Ribalta: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Nationals recalled Ribalta from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

    Ribalta has made 20 relief appearances for Washington this season, collecting a 6.56 ERA and 24:15 K:BB over 23.1 innings. He'll give the team a fresh bullpen arm for the final week.

  • Nationals' Julian Fernandez: Summoned to big leagues

    The Nationals recalled Fernandez from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

    Fernandez was claimed off waivers in August and will now receive his first major-league opportunity since joining the Nationals organization. The 29-year-old has spent most of the season at the Triple-A level, where he's held a 4.17 ERA and 67:18 K:BB over 54 frames.

  • Mason Thompson RP | WAS

    Nationals' Mason Thompson: Shelved with biceps tendinitis

    The Nationals placed Thompson on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right biceps tendinitis.

    The injury will end Thompson's season, though he should have a normal offseason, barring any setbacks. Thompson struggled mightily in 10.2 innings out of the Nationals' bullpen in 2025, finishing with an 11.81 ERA and 11:21 K:BB.

  • Evan Sisk RP | PIT

    Pirates' Evan Sisk: Sent back to minors

    The Pirates optioned Sisk to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

    He's being replaced on the roster by Hunter Barco. Sisk has made 19 relief appearances in the majors this season between the Royals and Pirates, posting a 3.57 ERA and 25:10 K:BB over 17.2 frames.

  • Nathan Wiles RP | ATL

    Braves' Nathan Wiles: Optioned to Triple-A

    Atlanta optioned Wiles to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

    He's clearing out to make room on the roster for waiver claim Joel Payamps, who officially reported to the team Tuesday. Wiles' stint in the majors lasted one week and he did not make an appearance.

  • Brewers' Bruce Zimmermann: Tapped for Tuesday's start

    Zimmermann will start Tuesday's game against the Padres, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Zimmermann was promoted to the major leagues Saturday with the expectation that it would be a brief stint, but he'll remain with the Brewers a bit longer after Brandon Woodruff (lat) ended up on the 15-day injured list. Zimmermann has fared well in the minors over his last four outings, cruising to a 1.17 ERA and 0.87 WHIP with 22 strikeouts over 23.0 innings, but he'll face a tough San Diego lineup in his first big-league action of 2025.

  • Jose Suarez RP | ATL

    Braves' Jose Suarez: Earns first save

    Suarez picked up the save Monday against Washington. He allowed five hits and no walks while striking out two over three scoreless innings.

    Suarez came in to handle the final three innings Monday, locking down his first save of the year. The southpaw hasn't logged a ton of big-league action, but he's been effective when used, working to a 1.96 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 18.1 innings across six appearances (one start).

  • Yacksel Rios RP | NYM

    Mets' Yacksel Rios: Returns from 60-day IL

    Rios (undisclosed) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

    Rios missed the majority of the 2025 campaign due to an unspecified injury but has since returned to Triple-A Syracuse. He had a rough outing Sept. 18 against Lehigh Valley, getting knocked around for four runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one, but he responded nicely with a scoreless inning Sunday.

  • Braves' Carson Ragsdale: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    Atlanta designated Ragsdale for assignment Monday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Charlie Morton, who was signed Monday. Ragsdale was just claimed off waivers by Atlanta last week and will now go through the waivers process again.
