  • Dinelson Lamet RP | LAD

    Padres' Dinelson Lamet: Rehab assignment on tap

    Lamet (forearm) will throw a rehab inning at Low-A Lake Elsinore on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Lamet has been on the injured list for just over a month due to right forearm inflammation, but he's faced hitters across the last week and will now return to game action in the minors. The Padres have said that the right-hander will likely take on a bullpen role once he's reinstated from the 10-day IL, and his rehab stint will give the team an opportunity to see how effective he can be as a reliever.

  • Anthony Bass RP | TOR

    Marlins' Anthony Bass: Charged with loss Sunday

    Bass (1-6) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and struck out the only batter he retired as he took the loss versus the Yankees on Sunday.

    The right-hander allowed two of the three batters he faced in the eighth inning to get on base, and Richard Bleier proceeded to allow both inherited runners to score. The loss was Bass's first since July 9, when he worked as an opener. The 33-year-old hadn't given up a run in 6.1 innings since that appearance prior to Sunday. He has a 3.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 38:17 K:BB with 12 holds and four blown saves in 47 appearances, but he could be in the mix for saves after Yimi Garcia was traded to Houston.

  • Tanner Rainey RP | DET

    Nationals' Tanner Rainey: Optioned to Triple-A

    Rainey was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Rainey was activated off the 10-day injured list Thursday after recovering from a stress reaction in his lower leg, and he'll head to the minors after giving up a run on two hits and a walk while recording only one out Thursday against the Phillies. The right-hander has a 7.20 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 31:21 K:BB across 25 innings for the season. According to Zuckerman, Rainey is expected to pitch on a strict every-other-day schedule at Triple-A in an attempt to get him back on track.

  • Bryse Wilson RP | MIL

    Pirates' Bryse Wilson: Set to start Monday

    Wilson will start Monday's game at Milwaukee, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    The 23-year-old was added to Pittsburgh's active roster Saturday after being acquired from Atlanta a day prior, and he'll debut with his new team Monday. Wilson posted a 5.88 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 33.2 innings over eight starts for Atlanta this year.

  • Mitch White RP | MIL

    Dodgers' Mitch White: Returns to Triple-A

    White was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    White started Saturday and gave up two runs over 3.2 innings, and he'll return to the minors in favor of a fresh arm. The 26-year-old has a 3.75 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 24 innings for the Dodgers this season.

  • Jay Jackson RP | MIN

    Giants' Jay Jackson: Collects second win

    Jackson (2-0) allowed a run on one hit and struck out one in one inning, but he earned the win Saturday over Houston.

    The right-hander gave up a game-tying solo home run to Martin Maldonado in the sixth inning, but San Francisco retook the lead in its half of the frame. Jackson has given up a run in each of his last two appearances, but he'd pitched six consecutive scoreless innings prior to that. For the year, he has a 2.35 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB with two holds and a blown save in eight outings. He figures to remain in a low-leverage role with Jake McGee and Tyler Rogers locked in as the late-inning options for manager Gabe Kapler.

  • Geoff Hartlieb RP | ATH

    Mets' Geoff Hartlieb: Back in majors

    Hartlieb was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Hartlieb surrendered a run over 1.1 frames in his lone appearance for the Mets this year, and he'll rejoin the big-league roster Sunday. The right-hander should fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

  • Alex Vesia RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Alex Vesia: Earns first big-league win

    Vesia (1-1) earned the win over Arizona on Saturday, pitching a scoreless inning during which he gave up one hit.

    The southpaw came into the contest with scored tied 3-3 in the sixth inning. He gave up a one-out single but faced the minimum by subsequently inducing a double play. The Dodgers put up four runs in the top of the seventh, giving Vesia his first win as a major-leaguer. In 19 appearances with the big club this season, Vesia has registered a 3.48 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 24:13 K:BB across 20.2 innings.

  • Matt Strahm RP | KC

    Padres' Matt Strahm: Due back Tuesday

    Manager Jayce Tingler said the Padres plan to reinstate Strahm (knee) from the 60-day injured list ahead of the team's two-game series in Oakland that begins Tuesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Sidelined all season while recovering from the patellar tendon surgery he required for his right knee last October, Strahm kicked off a minor-league rehab assignment just under two weeks ago and has apparently convinced the Padres that he's healthy and ready to contribute out of the bullpen. He was particularly sharp over his last two appearances for Triple-A El Paso, firing 2.2 perfect innings and striking out four between the outings. Given that eight other San Diego relievers currently reside on the IL, Strahm could get the opportunity to pitch high-leverage innings out of the bullpen right away for the big club.

  • Reiss Knehr RP | SD

    Padres' Reiss Knehr: Entering rotation for Paddack

    Padres manager Jayce Tingler confirmed that Knehr will start Sunday's game against the Rockies in San Diego, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.

    Knehr will be plugged into the rotation after he was called up from Triple-A El Paso as a replacement for Chris Paddack, who was placed on the injured list Saturday after tweaking his oblique in a bullpen session. Over his previous two starts with the Padres this season, Knehr has covered 5.1 innings while giving up five earned runs on four hits and six walks.
