Bagwell underwent right elbow surgery recently, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

The specifics of the procedure are unclear, but Crosby notes that Bagwell will likely miss the entirety of the 2027 season. Bagwell -- who turns 21 in February, posted a 3.17 ERA and 105:32 K:BB over 108 innings between Single-A Augusta and High-A Rome in 2026.

The Marlins exercised Alcantara's $21 million club option for 2027 on Friday.

Alcantara collected a 3.87 ERA and 153:59 K:BB over a league-high 214 innings this season. The 31-year-old is a tier below other frontline starting pitchers when it comes to swing-and-miss, but Alcantara has re-established himself as baseball's preeminent workhorse since coming back from Tommy John surgery. Alcantara is set to reach free agency next winter.

The Marlins outrighted Gonzalez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

While no longer on the 40-man roster, Gonzalez will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The righty spent all of the 2026 season in the minors, posting a 6.05 ERA and 60:27 K:BB over 41.2 innings.

Misiorowski was removed from Game 5 of the World Series against the Rays on Wednesday due to cramping in his right calf, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Misiorowski made it through 5.2 shutout innings on 86 pitches before his calf suddenly cramped up on him, and he was removed from the game after feeling discomfort while throwing warm-up pitches. The 24-year-old flamethrower isn't lined up to make another start in the World Series for Milwaukee, and if his start Wednesday proves to be his final outing, he will finish the postseason with a 1.89 ERA and 1.11 WHIP alongside a 16:6 K:BB over 19 innings.

May will start for the Brewers on Tuesday in Game 4 of the World Series, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He'll be pitching on two days' rest after tossing a scoreless inning of relief in Game 2. May has made four appearances this postseason, permitting five runs with a 5:2 K:BB over eight frames. The Brewers have a rested bullpen at their disposal, and they could go to it early and often as they attempt to close out the series.

Gasser earned the win in Game 3 of the World Series at Tampa Bay on Monday, giving up just one hit with three strikeouts and one walk across six scoreless innings.

Yandy Diaz crushed a 115.5-mph single to open the bottom of the first inning for the Rays, but Gasser didn't allow another hit and faced the minimum 18 batters through six frames thanks to a caught stealing and a groundball double play. The rookie left-hander has been Milwaukee's best starting pitcher during the playoffs, as he's surrendered just one run with a 9:3 K:BB over 15 innings.

Henderson didn't factor into the decision in Game 2 of the World Series versus the Rays on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits with four strikeouts and one walk across three innings.

It was a disastrous first inning for the right-hander, who surrendered four runs on an error and three hits to the first five batters he faced, including a two-run homer by Liam Hicks. Henderson settled down and retired eight of the final nine batters he faced, but manager Pat Murphy still didn't hesitate to go to the bullpen after just three innings. After posting a 2.47 ERA in 18 regular-season starts, the playoffs have been a bit turbulent for Henderson, who has a 4.50 ERA and a 10:6 K:BB while lasting just 12 frames in three starts.

Misiorowski earned the win in Game 1 of the World Series against the Rays on Friday, giving up one run on four hits with three strikeouts and one walk over five innings.

The flamethrowing righty continues to labor in the playoffs, as he generated just seven whiffs Friday while setting a season low in strikeouts. Still, Misiorowski scattered three singles, a double and a walk to hold the Rays to a single run while delivering his longest start of the postseason. The 24-year-old hasn't provided much length in October with 13.1 innings through three playoff starts, but he's been effective enough with a 2.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB. He next lines up to start a potential Game 5 in Tampa Bay for the Brewers.

Woodruff (shoulder) is on the Brewers' World Series roster.

Woodruff has not pitched in a game since July 4 because of right shoulder inflammation. However, he looked and felt well enough during a simulated game at American Family Field this week that the team has elected to carry him on its World Series roster. The Brewers might not be able to replace Woodruff on the roster if he has a setback -- the rules state it has to be an acute, non-chronic injury to warrant a move -- so the decision carries risk. Woodruff is taking Chad Patrick's spot on the roster and will be used in a bullpen role.

Hernandez (oblique) said Thursday that he feels 100 percent healthy and has since the first or second week of September, Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez suffered a left oblique strain at High-A Greensboro in late July and was eventually shut down for the season. However, he will not be under any restrictions when it comes to his offseason throwing program. Hernandez cemented himself as one of the game's top pitching prospects in 2026, posting a 2.43 ERA and 118:31 K:BB over 74 innings between Greensboro and Single-A Bradenton. The 20-year-old also noted Thursday that his goal is to reach the majors in 2027, though that looks like a long shot.
