The Marlins reinstated Tarnok (ankle) from the 15-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Tarnok has been on the shelf since early September due to a sprained left ankle, but he's been cleared to return after a brief rehab stint. The 26-year-old will head to Jacksonville for the closing week or so of the regular season. He has a 3.19 ERA in 67.2 innings with Jacksonville in 2025.

The Orioles placed McDermott on the family medical emergency list Friday.

By rule, McDermott will be away from the club for 3-to-7 days. The right-hander was just recalled earlier this week and has been roughed up for eight runs over one inning covering two appearances.

The Orioles recalled Espada from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Espada holds a 4.17 ERA and 83:30 K:BB over 54 innings between the Double- and Triple-A levels this season. When the 28-year-old gets into a game, it will be his first appearance at the major-league level since 2023.

Atlanta optioned Dunning to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Dunning has struggled in a mop-up role with Atlanta, posting a 10.80 ERA over seven appearances. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen will be absorbed by Jhancarlos Lara.

Melton (3-2) allowed two runs on two hits across 1.2 innings of relief to take the loss Thursday against the Guardians. He walked one and struck out one.

Melton relieved starter Tarik Skubal, who left after six innings with the game tied 1-1, and promptly allowed two runs to take the loss. This was the rookie's first loss in a relief appearance, as his other loss came in his MLB debut back on July 23, when he allowed six runs in five innings as a starter. As a reliever, Melton now has a 2.66 ERA across 23.2 innings in 11 outings, and he's struck out 17 batters. He should maintain a key role in Detroit's bullpen given his ability to provide length.

Faucher earned the save Thursday against the Rockies, recording the final out of the game while allowing one hit.

The right-hander was summoned with two outs in the ninth inning after Valente Bellozo surrendered four runs to put the game in peril. Faucher gave up a single to Hunter Goodman before inducing a game-ending groundout to secure the victory. Faucher has been sharp of late, holding opponents scoreless in seven of his last eight appearances, and he needed just six pitches to wrap things up Thursday. On the season, the 29-year-old has converted 14 of 19 save chances while adding seven holds with a 3.28 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 56:22 K:BB across 57.2 innings.

Vesia struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Giants.

Vesia and Tanner Scott were the only relievers the Dodgers used Wednesday, but Vesia's workload was lighter in that appearance. That put him in position to get a save opportunity Thursday, and the southpaw delivered a sharp outing to convert it. Since returning from an oblique injury Sept. 9, Vesia has allowed one run over 4.2 innings, adding two holds and a 7:1 K:BB in that span. He's at a 2.68 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 76:19 K:BB through 57 innings this season. Vesia has converted five saves while adding 23 holds and four blown saves as a fixture in the high-leverage mix throughout the year.

Munoz earned the save Thursday against the Royals, striking out three and allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

Tasked with protecting a two-run lead, Munoz worked around a Vinnie Pasquantino double and a hit batter to lock down his 36th save of the season. It was just the second time this year that the right-hander has struck out three batters in an appearance. After a rocky stretch in which Munoz allowed runs in three of five outings, he's now strung together six consecutive scoreless appearances. The 26-year-old has been one of the league's top closers this season, ranking third in MLB in saves while carrying a 1.54 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 78:25 K:BB across 58.1 innings.

Harris recorded the save Thursday against the Red Sox, allowing one run on one hit and no walks in two innings. He struck out three.

The left-hander posted his fourth save of the season, and each have come following the trade of Mason Miller. Harris should remain one of the Athletics' preferred late-inning options alongside Sean Newcomb to finish up the year, but neither appears locked in as the club's closer. Through 60 innings, Harris has a 3.30 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 61:33 K:BB.

Koenig allowed a hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

Abner Uribe was deployed against the heart of the Angels' order in the eighth inning, leaving Koenig to pick up the save in the ninth. This was Koenig's seventh straight scoreless outing, and he's posted a 14:1 K:BB while earning two saves and a hold in that span. He's pitched well as a high-leverage option this year, posting a 3.10 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 64:20 K:BB with two saves and 26 holds over 61 innings.
