Diaz cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Diaz bounced between the Reds, Dodgers and Atlanta in 2025, finishing the regular season with an 8.15 ERA and 1.53 WHIP through 17.2 MLB innings. Despite his 75 career saves, he'll likely need to prove himself in the minors next season before getting another shot in the big leagues.

The Padres transferred Adam (quadriceps) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Martin Maldonado. Adam underwent season-ending surgery in early September to repair a ruptured left quadriceps tendon and is expected to require 6-to-9 months to recover.

Chapman gave up three hits while striking out two batters across 1.1 scoreless innings to record the save in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Yankees. He did not issue a walk.

With Boston up two runs entering the bottom of the ninth, Chapman made things interesting by allowing three consecutive singles to Paul Goldschmidt, Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger to begin the inning. The veteran reliever then retired the next three batters he faced to preserve the win and secure the 11th postseason save of his career. After posting a career-best 1.17 ERA and 0.70 WHIP during the regular season, Chapman is a safe bet to receive the vast majority of save opportunities for the duration of the BoSox's postseason run.

Keller tossed a perfect ninth inning to record the save in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over the Padres.

Daniel Palencia, the Cubs' regular-season saves leader, had already exited Tuesday's contest by the seventh inning, leaving Keller as the best available option to pitch the ninth. He froze Xander Bogaerts with a called third strike to collect his first career postseason save and put the finishing touches on a perfect 4.2-inning performance from Chicago's bullpen. Keller will likely continue to see regular high-leverage action for the duration of the Cubs' postseason run.

Perez elected free agency Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Perez took a major step back in 2025, posting an 8.31 ERA and 2.12 WHIP across 21.2 innings with the Orioles, leading to his removal from the 40-man roster in late May. His performance didn't improve much after he moved to Triple-A (6.85 ERA, 2.22 WHIP, 22.1 IP), so he'll likely have to settle for a minor-league deal in free agency.

Kittredge will serve as the opening pitcher in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Padres on Wednesday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

Kittredge turned in a 3.32 ERA and 0.83 WHIP across 21.2 innings in the regular season with the Cubs while serving primarily as a high-leverage reliever. The 35-year-old righty will now be tasked with securing the first few outs of Wednesday's contest before presumably handing the game over to Shota Imanaga for bulk-relief work.

Vest pitched around one hit over 1.1 scoreless frames to notch a save in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Guardians.

Vest entered the game in the eighth inning with a runner on second base, two out and the Tigers clinging to a one-run lead. He finished off that frame with a groundout but immediately was back in hot water in the ninth when Jose Ramirez reached on a leadoff infield single and advanced to third base on a two-base error. However, Vest also managed to extinguish that rally with a strikeout, a fielder's choice and a popout. Vest picked up the final five traditional saves down the stretch of the regular season for the Tigers and has now registered their first postseason save. However, while Vest will be the favorite to close games for Detroit, manager A.J. Hinch's propensity to mix and match means Vest could also be used earlier in games if the situation calls for it.

Strahm's $7.5 million option for 2026 has vested after he passed a physical, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The option increased from $4.5 million to $7.5 million after Strahn reached an innings-pitched threshold in 2025, and it became guaranteed after the reliever passed a physical. Strahm held a 2.74 ERA and 70:20 K:BB over 62.1 innings this season and will fill a high-leverage role in the Phillies' bullpen again in 2026.

Harrington missed the final few weeks of the season for Triple-A Indianapolis due to a right groin injury, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

It's the same injury that caused Harrington to go on the 7-day injured list Aug. 10, as he threw one inning Aug. 28 and aggravated the injury and had to exit the start early before being shut down for the season. Harrington, who was in the mix for a rotation spot during spring training, had poor overall results in the majors (15 earned runs in 8.2 innings) and minors (5.34 ERA at Triple-A) while tallying 104.2 total frames across the two levels. He shouldn't have any restrictions in spring training but will face an uphill battle in camp to make the big-league roster.

Hurt (elbow) threw a live batting-practice session Monday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Hurt saw action at Triple-A Oklahoma City down the stretch of the regular season, and the fact that he's getting work ahead of Tuesday's Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series against Cincinnati may mean he's being considered for postseason play. Clarity on whether Hurt will be active for the series will come closer to first pitch Tuesday.
