Alek Jacob RP | SD
Padres' Alek Jacob: Up from El Paso
The Padres recalled Jacob from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Since his demotion to Triple-A in late July, Jacob has logged a 3.38 ERA and 1.28 WHIP alongside a 21:9 K:BB across 13.1 innings with the Chihuahuas. He'll now rejoin the Padres' bullpen to provide some extra depth with JP Sears headed down to the minors.

Graham Ashcraft RP | CIN
Reds' Graham Ashcraft: Slated for MRI
Ashcraft will receive an MRI on his right forearm, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Ashcraft has reportedly been dealing with some soreness in his forearm near his wrist, so the Reds will have him undergo imaging to determine whether his discomfort is the result of a structural issue. The team will likely determine if a move to the injured list is necessary once the results of his tests come back.

Keaton Winn RP | SF
Giants' Keaton Winn: Back in big leagues
The Giants recalled Winn from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The right-hander was optioned to Sacramento last week but is back with the Giants on Tuesday since Randy Rodriguez (elbow) landed on the injured list. Winn has made just two appearances with the Giants this year and has an 8.86 ERA at Triple-A.

Randy Rodriguez RP | SF
Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Lands on IL
The Giants placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Saturday, with a sprained right elbow.
Rodriguez was unavailable out of the bullpen for the past few days while battling an elbow issue he picked up during Sunday's win over Milwaukee. Manager Bob Melvin was hopeful the 25-year-old righty would be back in time for Tuesday's series opener against the Cubs, but the Giants will instead be without their primary closer until at least Sept. 7. Ryan Walker will presumably take over as San Francisco's preferred ninth-inning option for the short-term future, and Keaton Winn will come up from Triple-A to replenish the team's bullpen depth.

Lou Trivino RP | PHI
Phillies' Lou Trivino: Joining MLB club
The Phillies selected Trivino's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
The right-hander joined Philly on a minor-league deal in early August and will now get a look in the majors. Trivino has a 4.42 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 38.2 innings between the Giants and Dodgers this year and went without allowing an earned run in six outings with Lehigh Valley.

Jordan Romano RP | PHI
Phillies' Jordan Romano: Lands on injured list
The Phillies placed Romano on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to right middle finger inflammation.
It's unclear when the finger issue first surfaced for Romano, who surrendered 10 earned run in his past four outings. After inking a one-year, $8.5 million contract with the Phillies in December, the veteran right-hander has put up a disastrous campaign with an 8.23 ERA in 49 appearances.

Daniel Robert RP | PHI
Phillies' Daniel Robert: Rejoins big club
The Phillies recalled Robert from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
The right-hander was sent to Lehigh Valley after coming off the injured list in mid-August but is now back with the MLB club. Robert has made 12 appearances for Philly this year and has a 5.79 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB across 9.1 innings.

Joe Ross RP | PHI
Joe Ross: Cut loose by Philly
The Phillies released Ross on Tuesday.
Ross surrendered three runs in in his one-inning relief appearance in Monday's 13-3 loss to the Mets, which apparently prompted the Phillies to re-evaluate his place in their bullpen. The veteran right-hander joined Philadelphia on a one-year, $4 million deal during the offseason and nothced a 5.12 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 39:18 K:BB over 51 innings in 2025.

John Rooney RP | HOU
Astros' John Rooney: Out with elbow inflammation
The Astros placed Rooney on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to left elbow inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
He will be eligible to return Sept. 9, but given the nature of the injury, Rooney might need more time to make a full recovery. The lefty reliever has made one appearance for Houston this season, surrendering one run over 1.1 frames.
