MLB Player News

Hudson (forearm) was moved to the 60-day disabled list Monday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Hudson was placed on the 10-day disabled list Aug. 24 due to right forearm tightness, and after this latest move, his season will officially come to an end. He logged 46 innings this year, posting a 4.11 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with a 44:18 K:BB. In a corresponding move, Tony Cingrani (shoulder) was activated from the shelf.

Stephenson (shoulder) isn't with the Reds on their current road trip, MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports.

As a result it's unlikely that Stephenson will be activated before the end of the season. "It's winding down. It's becoming less likely," Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman said. "If he were to get an inning or two in during that last series against Pittsburgh, that would be fine. He'd have to show he's absolutely 100 percent for us to warrant putting him out there for a couple of innings."

Strop (hamstring) is optimistic he'll pitch in the final two games of the regular season, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

Strop suffered a left hamstring injury Thursday in extra innings, and although he was initially ruled out for the rest of the regular season, the 33-year-old believes otherwise. He's currently rehabbing in Arizona, and more updates on his progress should emerge as he nears a return to the mound.

Axford (leg) expects to be activated from the 10-day disabled list ahead of Monday's series opener against the Rockies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Axford has been out since mid-August with a fractured right fibula. The veteran right-hander, who struggled to a 5.13 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 54.1 innings prior to suffering the injury, figures to fill a middle-relief role for the Dodgers down the stretch.

Garcia will join the team ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Garcia was sent to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 30, but he'll be utilized out of the bullpen for the final two weeks of the season as the Dodgers make a push for the playoffs. He sports a 5.57 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 17 strikeouts through 21 frames in 2018.

Andriese will start Tuesday against the Cubs.

Andriese will enter the rotation in place of Clay Buchholz, who was ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering an elbow injury. The right-hander has made four starts this season, but he's been working in relief since joining the Diamondbacks at the end of July, so he likely won't throw more than a few innings in Tuesday's spot start. It's unclear if Andriese will stick in the rotation after Tuesday or if he'll return to the bullpen, though that could depend on how he fares. He owns a 4.76 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 59:18 K:BB across 59.2 big-league innings this season.

Miller (elbow) threw a 27-pitch bullpen session Saturday, the Associated Press reports.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Miller "felt good" during the session, but it's unclear if the right-hander has enough time left to make an appearance before the regular season ends Sept. 30. If Miller is activated from the 60-day disabled list in the next two weeks, he'll be ticketed for a bullpen role since he won't be ready to handle a starter's workload.

Pivetta (7-13) allowed three runs on four hits and one walk across five innings to take the loss Sunday against he Marlins. He struck out eight.

Pivetta cruised through the early stages before allowing a two-run home run to Peter O'Brien in the fourth. He escaped the frame but allowed a run on two hits in the fifth. Pivetta threw a solid 64 percent of his pitches for strikes as he reached his highest strikeout total since July 27, inducing five groundball outs to help his cause. Unfortunately, he received little run support and suffered his third consecutive loss despite allowing three runs or fewer in each of those outings. Pivetta will take a 4.67 ERA into Friday' scheduled start against the Braves.

Rodriguez (6-4) took the loss against the Rockies on Sunday, giving up three runs (one earned) on five hits over six innings, striking out five and walking three in the Giants' 3-2 defeat.

The 26-year-old continues to deal, as he ended up with yet another solid final line but got dealt an unlucky defeat after getting tagged with two unearned runs. He's been a revelation for San Francisco this season, posting a 2.30 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP through 109.1 innings. If there's any knock on his fantasy output, it would be that his 86 strikeouts aren't eye-popping, but it's hard to complain about any starting pitcher posting the ratios Rodriguez is during his time at the big-league level so far.

Iglesias got the save against the Cubs on Sunday, firing a scoreless ninth inning without allowing a baserunner to close out the Reds' 2-1 victory.

He didn't record a strikeout, but it was still an easy outing for the right-hander, who bagged his 27th save of the season. He's having a solid season despite playing on a last-place club in Cincinnati, with this outing lowering his ERA to 2.47 and his WHIP to 1.05 through 65.2 innings.
