  • Alek Jacob RP | SD

    Padres' Alek Jacob: Up from El Paso

    The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    Since his demotion to Triple-A in late July, Jacob has logged a 3.38 ERA and 1.28 WHIP alongside a 21:9 K:BB across 13.1 innings with the Chihuahuas. He'll now rejoin the Padres' bullpen to provide some extra depth with JP Sears headed down to the minors.

  • Reds' Graham Ashcraft: Slated for MRI

    Ashcraft will receive an MRI on his right forearm, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Ashcraft has reportedly been dealing with some soreness in his forearm near his wrist, so the Reds will have him undergo imaging to determine whether his discomfort is the result of a structural issue. The team will likely determine if a move to the injured list is necessary once the results of his tests come back.

  • Keaton Winn RP | SF

    Giants' Keaton Winn: Back in big leagues

    The Giants recalled Winn from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    The right-hander was optioned to Sacramento last week but is back with the Giants on Tuesday since Randy Rodriguez (elbow) landed on the injured list. Winn has made just two appearances with the Giants this year and has an 8.86 ERA at Triple-A.

  • Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Lands on IL

    The Giants placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Saturday, with a sprained right elbow.

    Rodriguez was unavailable out of the bullpen for the past few days while battling an elbow issue he picked up during Sunday's win over Milwaukee. Manager Bob Melvin was hopeful the 25-year-old righty would be back in time for Tuesday's series opener against the Cubs, but the Giants will instead be without their primary closer until at least Sept. 7. Ryan Walker will presumably take over as San Francisco's preferred ninth-inning option for the short-term future, and Keaton Winn will come up from Triple-A to replenish the team's bullpen depth.

  • Lou Trivino RP | PHI

    Phillies' Lou Trivino: Joining MLB club

    The Phillies selected Trivino's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

    The right-hander joined Philly on a minor-league deal in early August and will now get a look in the majors. Trivino has a 4.42 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 38.2 innings between the Giants and Dodgers this year and went without allowing an earned run in six outings with Lehigh Valley.

  • Jordan Romano RP | PHI

    Phillies' Jordan Romano: Lands on injured list

    The Phillies placed Romano on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to right middle finger inflammation.

    It's unclear when the finger issue first surfaced for Romano, who surrendered 10 earned run in his past four outings. After inking a one-year, $8.5 million contract with the Phillies in December, the veteran right-hander has put up a disastrous campaign with an 8.23 ERA in 49 appearances.

  • Daniel Robert RP | PHI

    Phillies' Daniel Robert: Rejoins big club

    The Phillies recalled Robert from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

    The right-hander was sent to Lehigh Valley after coming off the injured list in mid-August but is now back with the MLB club. Robert has made 12 appearances for Philly this year and has a 5.79 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB across 9.1 innings.

  • Dauri Moreta RP | PIT

    Pirates' Dauri Moreta: Rejoins big club

    The Pirates recalled Moreta from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

    The right-hander will rejoin the big-league bullpen after spending the 15-day minimum in the minors after being demoted Aug. 11. Moreta has made five appearances for Pittsburgh this year and has given up two earned runs with a 7:1 K:BB over 4.2 innings.

  • Jose Castillo RP | NYM

    Mets' Jose Castillo: Collects first win of season

    Castillo (1-2) picked up the win over the Phillies on Monday, working a scoreless fifth inning without a strikeout or a walk.

    The 29-year-old lefty plunked J.T. Realmuto with a pitch to lead off the inning, but an Alec Bohm double play erased the threat, and the Mets broke open a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the fifth en route to a 13-3 rout. It was Castillo's first big-league win since 2018 with San Diego, and over 13.1 innings in the New York bullpen this season he's posted a 2.03 ERA and 17:6 K:BB, albeit with an alarming 1.73 WHIP.

  • Brock Stewart RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Brock Stewart: Playing catch again

    The Dodgers announced Friday that Stewart (shoulder) has resumed playing light catch, MLB.com reports.

    Stewart was shut down from throwing for about a week after he received cortisone and platelet-rich plasma injections for his inflamed right shoulder, an injury that sent him to the shelf Aug. 12. The right-hander seems to have responded well to the injections but will have a few more checkpoints to hit in the recovery process before heading out on a rehab assignment. Stewart doesn't appear on track to return from the injured list until around mid-September.
