Dillon Peters RP | PIT
Marlins' Dillon Peters: Called up for Friday start
Peters was recalled prior to his major-league debut against Philadelphia on Friday, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
The 25-year-old will make his big-league debut after spending most of this season with Double-A Jacksonville. During nine starts at that level, Peters has posted a 1.97 ERA and 0.97 WHIP to go along with a 40:11 K:BB. Moving forward, the southpaw could remain in the starting rotation for the Marlins throughout the rest of the 2017 campaign.

Wei-Chung Wang RP | PIT
Brewers' Wei-Chung Wang: Called up Friday
Wang was promoted by the Brewers on Friday.
Wang rejoins the Brewers after spending most of this season with Triple-A Colorado Springs. During 47 games with the Sky Sox, Wang posted a 2.05 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 57 innings of action. He made one appearance with the Brewers in late July, and figures to serve in low-leverage situations out of the bullpen as long as he's with the team.

Brent Suter RP | ATL
Brewers' Brent Suter: Reinstated from disabled list Friday
Suter (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day DL on Friday.
Suter has been out for almost three weeks now while recovering from a left rotator cuff strain. Prior to landing on the DL, the left-hander struggled through three rough August outings, following an exceptional month of July. There hasn't been word on when Suter's next start will come, but there's a chance that he will take the mound for Sunday's series finale against Washington.

Matt Bowman RP | MIN
Cardinals' Matt Bowman: Grabs 22nd hold in win
Bowman notched his 22nd hold in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Giants, allowing one hit in a scoreless seventh inning.
The 26-year-old right-hander has righted the ship over his last three appearances, firing a scoreless 2.1 innings over that span. Bowman has generated extended stretches of impressive pitching at multiple points this season and retains fantasy value due to his solid workload and frequent use in hold scenarios.

Jamie Callahan RP | NYM
Mets' Jamie Callahan: Recalled from Las Vegas
Callahan was called up by the Mets on Friday.
Callahan is set to make his major-league debut within the next few days as the 23-year-old earns his first promotion to the majors with roster expansion in full effect. During 10 innings with Triple-A Las Vegas since being traded to the Mets in late July, the right-hander has sported a 1.80 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over nine appearances. It seems unlikely that Callahan will get any high-leverage opportunities with the club, but he should get some quality time on the mound as the Mets look to see what they have in him.

Luke Jackson RP | SEA
Braves' Luke Jackson: Returns from disabled list Friday
Jackson (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day DL on Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Jackson will return to the bullpen after a two-week stay on the disabled list due to a shoulder strain. The 26-year-old will slide back into the bullpen, where he's posted a 4.65 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 40.2 innings this season.

Derek Law RP | ARI
Giants' Derek Law: Rejoins big club
The Giants recalled Law from Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The right-hander's 5.40 ERA this year was a far cry from last year's 2.13, which in retrospect was a bit too good, despite his intriguing skills. Law will pitch in the middle innings, with some high-leverage appearances, for a club playing out the string.

Ariel Hernandez RP | LAD
Reds' Ariel Hernandez: Recalled from Triple-A Louisville
Hernandez was promoted to the big leagues prior to Friday's game against the Pirates.
Hernandez will provide some more depth out of the bullpen for the Reds, as he's already made 10 relief appearances with the club this season. During 15.1 innings, he's posted a 5.28 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, which includes a disastrous outing against the Diamondbacks in late July. Besides that game, he's accumulated a solid 1.88 ERA and 18:8 K:BB for the year.

Justin Wilson RP | BOS
Cubs' Justin Wilson: Strikes out side Thursday
Wilson struck out all three batters he faced in Thursday's win over the Braves.
Wilson came on in the ninth inning with the Cubs up 6-2 and he mowed down the Braves on 22 pitches (16 strikes). Wilson struggled out of the gate with his new team, but he hasn't allowed a run over his last six appearances (5.2 innings) and he looks like he'll be a key contributor in the Cubs bullpen as they make a push for the playoffs.
