Erich Uelmen RP | PHI
Phillies' Erich Uelmen: Finishes season healthy at Triple-A
Uelmen (undisclosed) was reinstated from Triple-A Lehigh Valley's 60-day injured list and made his final appearance of the season Sept. 19, striking out three while allowing one run on two hits and one walk over one inning.
Uelmen had been stuck on Lehigh Valley's IL since early June with the unspecified injury, but after completing a rehab assignment earlier this month, he received the green light to return to the Triple-A bullpen for the final week of the season. Though Lehigh Valley's season is over, Uelmen retains a spot on the Phillies' 40-man roster and could theoretically get called up to the big club over the final week of the season if Philadelphia has a need for an extra relief arm.

Daniel Hudson RP | LAD
Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Won't return before NLCS
Hudson (knee) is slated to throw live batting practice during the Dodgers' upcoming road trip and could return to game action if the team advances to the NLCS, per the Associated Press.
Hudson has been out with a sprained MCL in his right knee since July 5 and has pitched in just three major-league games this season. He only recently resumed throwing to live hitters, so he still has a ways to go until he could potentially be ready for game action. The Dodgers have already wrapped up a spot in the NLDS, but Hudson won't be ready to return for that series. Should Los Angeles advance past that round, however, the veteran reliever could be added to the roster for the NLCS, which begins Oct. 16.

Miguel Castro RP | CHW
Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Back from paternity list
The Diamondbacks reinstated Castro (personal) from the paternity list Monday.
Arizona optioned right-hander Slade Cecconi to Triple-A Reno to clear room on the 28-man active roster for Castro, who spent the maximum three days away from the team following the birth of his child. Castro, who has posted a 1.64 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over his last 14 appearances, should step back into a middle relief or setup role for the final week of the regular season.

Mark Melancon RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Mark Melancon: Starts rehab assignment
Melancon (shoulder) allowed three runs in two-thirds of an inning Sunday in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Reno.
This was the first game appearance in 2023 for Melancon, who has been out all season after being diagnosed with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder back in March. It wasn't an encouraging first performance for the veteran reliever, but he's still hoping to show the Diamondbacks he's ready to rejoin their bullpen before the end of the week.

Camilo Doval RP | NYY
Giants' Camilo Doval: Walked off Sunday
Doval (6-6) allowed an unearned run on one hit to take the extra-inning loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.
Doval gave up a walk-off single to Chris Taylor in the bottom of the 10th inning after the Giants failed to generate a run in their half of the frame. This wasn't a save situation, but it counted as Doval's second loss in his last four outings. He's allowed seven runs (two earned) over 2.2 innings in that short span. The closer has a 3.02 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 85:26 K:BB with 38 saves in 46 chances across 65.2 innings this season.
