Reds' Ian Gibaut: Activated, outrighted to Louisville
The Reds reinstated Gibaut (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday and sent him outright to Triple-A Louisville.
Gibaut posted a 4.62 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 25.1 regular-season innings this year before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery in late August. He has enough service time necessary to reject his assignment and enter free agency, though it's unknown what his plans are.

Dodgers' Alex Vesia: Away from team
The Dodgers announced Thursday that Vesia is away from the team for personal reasons.
The Dodgers have yet to finalize their roster for the World Series, and it's unclear whether Vesia's situation will prevent him from pitching in the Fall Classic against the Blue Jays. The 29-year-old southpaw has allowed two earned runs and struck out four batters across 4.2 innings during Los Angeles' postseason run.

Sammy Peralta RP | LAA
Brewers' Sammy Peralta: Claimed off waivers by Brewers
The Brewers claimed Peralta off waivers from the Angels on Tuesday.
Peralta has made 30 relief appearances at the major-league level, collecting a 5.12 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 37:24 K:BB across 45.2 innings of work. The 27-year-old has some experience in the minors as a starting pitcher, but he'll most likely serve as left-handed relief depth for Milwaukee.

Shelby Miller RP | MIL
Brewers' Shelby Miller: Requires UCL, flexor surgery
Miller is likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2026 season after undergoing UCL and flexor tendon surgery Oct. 13, MLB.com reports.
Miller had been hopeful of a less invasive procedure that would give him a chance to return before the end of the 2026 campaign, but ultimately he's unlikely to pitch again until 2027. It's the second UCL repair for Miller, who had Tommy John surgery in May 2017. He's an impending free agent after posting a 2.74 ERA and 54:15 K:BB over 46 innings between the Diamondbacks and Brewers this season.

Tanner Scott RP | LAD
Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Hoping to be on World Series roster
Scott (lower body) has been throwing and hopes to be included on the Dodgers' World Series roster, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Scott has not made an appearance this postseason after undergoing a lower-body abscess procedure earlier this month. It's unclear whether he will be built back up enough to be included on the roster for the World Series, which begins Friday. Scott paced the Dodgers with 23 saves during the regular season, but he had an up-and-down campaign, finishing with a 4.74 ERA and 60:18 K:BB over 57 frames.

Jose Alvarado RP | PHI
Phillies' Jose Alvarado: Expected back with Phillies in 2026
Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said Thursday he would be "surprised" if Alvarado (forearm) is not back next season, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
The Phillies have a $9.5 million club option on Alvarado for 2026, and while Dombrowski did not confirm the option would be exercised, it seems that is the most likely scenario. Alvarado served an 80-game PED suspension and also missed time late in the year with a forearm injury, resulting in him appearing in only 28 games. The lefty remained effective when on the bump, posting a 3.81 ERA and 32:7 K:BB over 26 innings. It's not clear whether the forearm issue will affect Alvarado's offseason throwing, but Dombrowski did not mention any health concerns with the reliever moving forward.
