Gage (elbow) will start his rehab assignment this weekend, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It's unclear which minor-league level Gage will start his rehab assignment at. Regardless, it's a positive step in his recovery from a left elbow strain that landed him on the injured list in early July. Given the nature of Gage's injury, the 33-year-old southpaw will likely need a few outings in the minors before being cleared to return to the Giants' bullpen.

Peguero has been shut down for the season due to a recurring left hamstring injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Peguero has been out since late May, and he didn't retire a batter in either of his rehab appearances with Triple-A Sacramento this month. It's unclear whether surgery is a possibility, but either way Peguero's 2026 campaign is over. He'll finish with 2.38 ERA and 5:4 K:BB over 11.1 innings for the Giants.

The Dodgers recalled Gervase from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Gervase has allowed two runs with an 8:5 K:BB over 7.2 innings out of the Dodgers' bullpen this season, and he's logged a 4.86 ERA and 46:31 K:BB in 37 frames with Oklahoma City. The tall righty will likely provide low-leverage relief while up with the big-league club.

The Cardinals recalled Fernandez from Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Fernandez will provide a fresh relief arm for the Cardinals' bullpen after the club played five games in the past four days. The righty has given St. Louis quality relief work this season, logging a 2.70 ERA and 20:7 K:BB in 13.1 innings.

Bender's rehab assignment has been paused after he reported soreness in his right shin during his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Jacksonville, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Working his way back from a stress reaction in his shin, Bender pitched for Jacksonville on Tuesday in his first outing in nearly two months. He's returned to Miami to be examined, and the next steps for his rehab will be determined following that visit.

The Marlins transferred Kempner (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for the addition of Logan Driscoll. Kempner recently underwent UCL surgery on his right elbow and will be sidelined, at minimum, until late in the 2027 season.

The Reds optioned Maxwell to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

He's clearing off the roster to make room for the return of Tony Santillan from the injured list. Maxwell gave up one run over three innings covering two appearances during his most recent stint in the Reds' bullpen.

The Reds activated Santillan (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Santillan has missed the past two months of action with a severely strained oblique, but he's ready to roll after making three spotless rehab appearances. The right-handed reliever is slated to work in a setup role ahead of closer Emilio Pagan.

Seymour allowed one hit while striking out two in one scoreless inning during Thursday's 5-2 loss to Cleveland.

Seymour collected his third straight scoreless outing Thursday, throwing 11 of his 14 pitches for strikes. Across seven appearances with the Giants this season, the 27-year-old owns a 5.79 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB in 14 innings.

Lopez (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Lopez is working his way back from left knee inflammation, which has kept him out for all of August. The veteran right-hander's last six appearances for Atlanta were as a starting pitcher, but he could be used as a reliever upon his return. If that happens, it might shorten his rehab assignment.
