  • Padres' Bradgley Rodriguez: Recalled to San Diego

    The Padres recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

    Rodriguez has spent the vast majority of the season in the minor leagues, though he already has one MLB outing under his belt -- a 1.2-inning scoreless appearance against the Pirates on May 31. Since then, he's posted a 3.14 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 14.1 frames at El Paso, and he'll now provide the Padres with some extra bullpen depth for the final few weeks of the regular season. JP Sears was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Jordan Romano RP | PHI

    Phillies' Jordan Romano: May be dealing with nerve issue

    Romano (finger) recently experienced stiffness in his neck as well as numbness in his middle finger, and Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Saturday that the reliever may be dealing with a "nerve thing," Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

    Romano landed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 26 for what was initially described as right middle-finger inflammation. Thomson's comments suggest the right-hander's issue may be tied to a nerve problem, though that's not an official diagnosis. It's unclear at this point if Romano will be able to return to the Phillies' bullpen by the end of the regular season.

  • Christian Roa RP | MIA

    Marlins' Christian Roa: Brought back up to big club

    Miami recalled Roa from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

    Roa's return to the Marlins was spurred by fellow reliever Tyler Phillips landing on the paternity list. Phillips is allowed up to three days away from the team, so Roa's time with the big-league squad may be short. Roa has just one appearance with Miami this year, allowing one hit and one walk with three strikeouts over two scoreless innings against Philadelphia on Sept. 6.

  • Tyler Phillips RP | MIA

    Marlins' Tyler Phillips: Placed on paternity list

    The Marlins placed Phillips on the paternity list Saturday.

    Phillips will take at least a day (and no more than three) to be with his growing family. To fill his spot on the 26-man roster and in the bullpen, the Marlins recalled right-handed reliever Christian Roa from Triple-A Jacksonville.

  • Giants' Joey Lucchesi: Tosses scoreless outing Friday

    Lucchesi threw a scoreless inning in Friday's 5-1 extra-inning victory over the Dodgers, hitting one batter and striking out one.

    Lucchesi threw eight of his 17 pitches for strikes while retiring three of the four batters he faced. He hasn't allowed a run in nine consecutive outings. The left-hander owns a 2.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB across 33.2 innings in 33 appearances this season.

  • Liam Hendriks RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Shut down from throwing

    The Red Sox pulled Hendriks (hip) off his throwing program Saturday after he experienced tightness in his forearm, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    A hip injury sent Hendriks to the injured list in late May, and now that he's been shut down from throwing, he'll almost certainly remain sidelined for the rest of the year. The 36-year-old righty will finish 2025 with a 6.59 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 13.2 innings.

  • Dominic Hamel RP | TEX

    Mets' Dom Hamel: Back in Queens

    The Mets recalled Hamel from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

    Since his demotion to Triple-A in August, Hamel has posted a 7.53 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 14.1 innings. Despite his recent performance, he'll rejoin the big club to provide depth out of the bullpen, replacing Huascar Brazoban.

  • Mets' Huascar Brazoban: Back in minors

    The Mets optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

    After pitching 3.1 shutout innings Friday, Brazoban will be sent back to the minors in favor of a fresh arm in the form of Dom Hamel. The 35-year-old Brazoban owns a 3.67 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with the Mets this season, which helps his chances of returning to Queens before the end of the regular season.

  • Eric Orze RP | TB

    Rays' Eric Orze: Back in minors

    The Rays optioned Orze to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Orze pitched two innings over two appearances after being recalled from Triple-A on Thursday, giving up two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two batters. He'll now be sent back to the minors while Tampa Bay brings in a fresh arm in the form of Garrett Acton.

  • Rays' Garrett Acton: Contract selected

    The Rays selected Acton's contract from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Acton has spent the entire season at Durham, where he owns a 3.64 ERA and 1.11 WHIP to go with a 67:24 K:BB through 54.1 innings. He'll now join an MLB bullpen for the first time since 2023 as a replacement for Eric Orze, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
