Fedde is expected to be used in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Aaron Ashby in his Brewers debut Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Wednesday had been Quinn Priester's turn in the rotation, but the Brewers are opting to push him back at least one more day in the pitching schedule in order to clear the way for Fedde to get some extended innings after finalizing a one-year deal earlier in the day. Between stops with St. Louis and Atlanta earlier this season, Fedde has been one of the baseball's most ineffective starters, logging a 5.76 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 76:60 K:BB in 125 innings. The Brewers haven't outlined what Fedde's role might look like beyond Wednesday, but if he ends up pitching well, he could enter the conversation for additional starts or bulk-relief appearances.

Priester is no longer scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, and the Brewers have yet to announce when he'll be in line to pitch next, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Priester owns a 3.18 ERA over his seven starts since the All-Star break and isn't believed to be dealing with an injury, but he was uncharacteristically wild in his most recent outing against the Cubs last Thursday, when he lasted just 4.1 innings while issuing a season-high five walks. As a result, the Brewers may have simply opted to build in some extra rest for the right-hander, who could be available to start as soon as Thursday's series finale with Arizona. Milwaukee will turn to Aaron Ashby to serve as their opening pitcher Wednesday, and the newly signed Erick Fedde is slated to work behind him in bulk relief.

Fedde signed a one-year contract with the Brewers on Wednesday.

Fedde will move on to his third team in a month after Atlanta recently cut ties with him following a rough five-appearance run in which he yielded an 8.10 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 13:13 K:BB in 23.1 innings. Milwaukee will bring the veteran right-hander aboard with the hope that its staff can help him more closely resemble the pitcher that turned in a 3.30 ERA over 31 starts between the White Sox and Cardinals in 2024, but Fedde is unlikely to be trusted with a meaningful role right away. With Milwaukee's top five starters all healthy, Fedde will presumably be ticketed for a mop-up or low-leverage relief role out of the bullpen.

The Brewers transferred Henderson (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

After being shelved Aug. 8 due to a right flexor tendon strain, Henderson had been cleared to initiate plyometric work earlier this week with the hope of beginning a throwing program in the near future and returning at the tail end of the regular season. However, his move to the 60-day IL suggests that Henderson didn't respond as well to the initial workouts as well as the Brewers had hoped, and he'll now be shut down for the remainder of the season. Before sustaining the injury, Henderson was magnificent over his five starts with Milwaukee, going 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB in 25.1 innings. Assuming his flexor strain is of a low or moderate grade and doesn't require a procedure, Henderson should be back to full health for spring training and will get the chance to compete for a full-time rotation spot with Milwaukee in 2026.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Wednesday that Wells (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list next week and will be part of a six-man rotation for the remainder of the season, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Wells is slated to make his final rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, and as long as he gets through that outing without any setbacks, he'll likely start Sept. 2 in San Diego. Once activated, Wells will be making his first appearance at the big-league level since he had a UCL revision and internal brace augmentation surgery in June 2024. Wells has pitched well thus far on his rehab assignment, posting a 2.37 ERA and 19:5 K:BB over 19 innings.

The Reds reinstated Lodolo (finger) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Cincinnati placed reliever Graham Ashcraft (forearm) on the 15-day IL to clear room on the active roster for Lodolo, who had been on the shelf since Aug. 5 due to a left index finger blister. Lodolo didn't go out on a rehab assignment prior to being activated, but he was able to get built back up to some degree with a three-inning simulated game this past weekend. The southpaw could be in line for a lighter workload than normal as he rejoins the Reds to make his 24th start of the season.

The Orioles transferred Young (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

The move to the 60-day IL spells an official end to Young's season. According to Jake Rill of MLB.com, Young said that he expects to face a six-week recovery from the left hamstring strain, which should allow him to have a normal offseason. In 12 starts with the big club as a rookie, the 27-year-old right-hander went 1-7 and submitted a 6.24 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 47:22 K:BB in 57.2 innings. Young should get the chance to compete for a spot in the Orioles' Opening Day rotation in 2026, but in light of his poor numbers in his first taste of the majors this season, he'll likely need a strong spring to secure a starting role with the big club.

Drohan (forearm), whom Triple-A Worcester reinstated from its 60-day injured list Tuesday, is slated to start or pitch in bulk relief Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Top prospect Payton Tolle is also in line to pitch Friday, and Worcester plans to have him piggyback or get piggybacked by Drohan, who will be making his first appearance for the Triple-A affiliate since May 7 after he had been shut down due to left forearm inflammation. Prior to getting hurt, Drohan was enjoying a strong season out of the Worcester rotation, logging a 2.03 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB in 26.2 innings through seven appearances. The 26-year-old lefty could struggle to return to his prior form before season's end after he endured a bumpy three-start rehab assignment at High-A Greenville in which he gave up six earned runs to go with a 10:5 K:BB in 6.1 innings.

The Mariners recalled Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Hancock recently moved to the bullpen at Tacoma and his stuff played up, as he averaged 97 miles per hour with his four-seamer and topped out at 99.1 mph. The righty will likely be used in low-leverage situations initially but could be entrusted with late-inning appearances before long if he gets off to a good start.

Lopez (shoulder) struck out five and allowed three earned runs on six hits and no walks across four innings in his rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A St. Paul.

Making the second start of his rehab assignment with St. Paul, Lopez got stretched out to 68 pitches (46 strikes) and induced 12 swings and misses. He averaged 93.8 miles per hour with his fastball in the outing, about one tick behind his season average prior to landing on the shelf June 5 due to a right teres major muscle strain. The Twins will likely have Lopez get further stretched in one more rehab start before he potentially returns from the 60-day injured list during the team's series in Kansas City that begins Sept. 5.
