MLB Player News

Jackson was recalled by the Dodgers on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Jackson was called up twice by the Dodgers previously this season but didn't make an appearance on either occasion. In 19 starts and two relief appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma this season, he's struggled to a 5.00 ERA and a 17.2 percent walk rate, so he'll likely be limited to low-leverage work during his time with the team. Blake Treinen (shoulder) hit the injured list in a corresponding move.

Treinen was placed on the injured list with right shoulder tightness Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Shoulder issues have limited Treinen to just five appearances this season. While he returned from the injured list eight days ago, injury troubles quickly resurfaced. No timeline for his return this time around has been offered, but it's likely that the Dodgers will care more about maximizing his chances of pitching in the playoffs over getting him back as soon as possible. Andre Jackson was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

Treinen (arm) didn't feel right after playing catch Saturday and could return to the injured list, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Shoulder troubles sidelined Treinen from mid-April through early September. While he's thrown a pair of scoreless innings since his return to action, his arm issues have resurfaced. Whether or not a potential trip to the injured list would be brief or season-ending remains to be seen.

Kelley was recalled by the Brewers on Saturday.

Kelley has bounced on and off the roster throughout the season. In 21 major-league innings, he owns a 6.00 ERA and 1.43 WHIP. Eric Lauer (elbow) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Manager Bob Melvin said Saturday that Pomeranz (elbow) is probably not going to pitch this season, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Pomeranz recently received positive news regarding his left elbow, but he isn't expected to have enough time to ramp back up prior to the end of the season. The southpaw had his rehab assignment shut down Aug. 19, and although he'll likely be sidelined for the remainder of 2022, it wouldn't be surprising to see him available for the start of spring training in 2023.

Bednar (back) will require a rehab assignment prior to returning from the injured list, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Bednar threw live batting practice Saturday and will ultimately need to spend some time in the minors before he's activated by the Pirates. The team hasn't yet determined the specifics of his rehab assignment, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the right-hander remain sidelined until at least late next week.

Johnson (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Johnson was sidelined since mid-April due to an elbow injury, but he recently completed a rehab assignment in which he posted a 1.50 ERA and 0.33 WHIP in six innings over six relief appearances. The right-hander picked up five holds over six appearances to begin the season, and it's possible that he works his way into some setup duties for San Diego down the stretch.

Patino is slated to start Sunday's road game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He'll be making his second straight turn through the rotation after he called up from Triple-A Durham on Monday to step into the injured Shane McClanahan's (shoulder) spot in the rotation. Patino took a no-decision his last time out against Boston, covering five innings and allowing three runs while striking out four.

Brebbia will be the first pitcher on the mound in a bullpen game Sunday against the Cubs, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants continue to turn to bullpen games rather than use another starter in place of Alex Wood (shoulder). Sunday's game will technically be Brebbia's fifth start of the season, but don't expect him to pitch deep into the game. He pitched exactly one inning in each of his previous four "starts" this season.

Knehr was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Knehr joined the Padres' bullpen last week after active rosters expanded to 28 players, but he gave up four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in 1.2 innings during his lone appearance following his promotion. He'll head back to the minors since Pierce Johnson (elbow) is expected to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.
