Chafin (finger) will throw a bullpen session Friday and could return to game action soon, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Chafin threw a 20-pitch simulated game Wednesday, and he'll throw again just two days later. Assuming his finger responds well to Friday's bullpen session, manager David Ross said that he's "extremely close" to rejoining the team.

Suarez was recalled by the Giants on Friday.

Suarez has bounced on and off the roster throughout the season. He's made five appearances for the team, posting a 5.14 ERA, a 2.00 WHIP and a 4:5 K:BB. Wandy Peralta was optioned in a corresponding move.

Peralta was optioned to the Giants' alternate training site Friday.

Peralta had been on the big-league roster all season and performed well enough, posting a 3.91 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP in 23 innings of relief work. Whether or not he'll get another opportunity down the stretch remains to be seen. Andrew Suarez was recalled in a corresponding move.

Garcia was optioned to the Giants' alternate training site Friday.

Garcia made a pair of appearances during his latest stint on the roster, throwing two scoreless innings. Shaun Anderson was recalled in a corresponding move.

Sborz was optioned by the Dodgers on Friday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Sborz finds himself sent down for the second time in four days, as he was optioned Tuesday before being recalled Wednesday. Mitch White was recalled in a corresponding move this time around.

White was recalled by the Dodgers on Friday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

White should have a good chance to pitch at some point Friday against the Rockies in what is expected to be a bullpen game. The 25-year-old made his big-league debut back in late August, throwing a single scoreless inning of relief. Josh Sborz was optioned in a corresponding move.

Hudson landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right forearm Saturday.

Hudson left Thursday's game with the injury, which was originally called right elbow soreness but has since been diagnosed as a forearm strain following an MRI. With just 10 days left in the season, all injured list placements at this point are season-ending. Hudson will wrap up the year having posted a 2.77 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP in eight starts. Nabil Crismatt was recalled in a corresponding move.

Castano is listed as the Marlins' starter for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals, but manager Don Mattingly indicated he could pitch in relief in the afternoon game, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Castano should feature at some point in one of Friday's games, though exactly when remains to be seen. If Castano is used in Game 1, expect Robert Dugger to get the call to start Game 2.

Cleavinger was optioned off the Phillies' roster Friday.

Cleavinger made his big-league debut Thursday but did little more than contribute to the Phillies' ongoing bullpen struggles, allowing a run on two hits while recording just two outs. It's possible he gets another opportunity down the stretch if the Phillies need another lefty in the pen.

Quezada was optioned to the alternate training site Friday.

The 26-year-old had his contract selected by Miami last week and will return to the alternate site after his first taste of major-league action. Quezada threw two scoreless frames in his first two outings, but in his third appearance he gave up three runs on four hits.
