Keuchel was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with an undisclosed injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Jorge Alcala will take Keuchel's place in the Twins' bullpen. Keuchel may not be dealing with anything serious, but given that he posted an 8.24 ERA and 1.88 WHIP in his last 19.2 innings, it makes sense that he wouldn't be in the mix for a spot on the postseason roster.

Parsons' contract was selected from Triple-A Buffalo and he will start Sunday's game against the Rays.

This would have been Kevin Gausman's turn in the rotation, but the Jays will save him for the postseason. Parsons has logged five-plus innings in 11 of his last 14 starts at Triple-A, posting a 4.15 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 82 strikeouts in 69.1 innings over that stretch.

Anderson is no longer scheduled to start Sunday against the Twins, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

The right-hander was penciled in to start the final game of the season for Colorado, but lefty reliever Brent Suter will instead open the contest. It's unclear if Anderson suffered some sort of injury or if manager Bud Black simply decided to go in a different direction. The 35-year-old has a 5.42 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 64:33 K:BB over 86.1 innings this year and will be a free agent this offseason.

Detmers is not listed as Sunday's starter against the Athletics.

The Angels will give Carson Fulmer the ball Sunday, and given that Detmers hasn't followed an opener all season, it would seem that he is done for the year. The 24-year-old southpaw logged a 4.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 168 strikeouts and four wins over 148.2 innings.

Irvin was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

He takes the place of Bruce Zimmermann in the bullpen on the final day of the season, and could be used as a long man after the Orioles pull Sunday's starter Kyle Bradish. Irvin posted an 11.05 ERA and 2.59 WHIP in 7.1 innings in his two most recent appearances at Triple-A.

Steele won't start Sunday against the Brewers after the Cubs were eliminated from playoff contention Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

The Cubs stumbled down the stretch and are no longer in postseason contention, so they won't send out their ace for the final game of the season. Steele struggled over his final three outings with 15 runs allowed, but he was in the thick of the race for the NL Cy Young Award for most of the campaign and will finish his third year in MLB with a 3.06 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 176:36 K:BB over 173.1 innings.

Plassmeyer was optioned the Phillies' spring training complex Sunday.

The 26-year-old was called up to start the penultimate contest of the regular season Saturday in Game 2 of the doubleheader against the Mets, but he was rocked for 10 runs (nine earned) across 3.2 innings. Plassmeyer spent most of the campaign at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and posted a 5.05 ERA in 14 starts, so he's unlikely to receive a look during the playoffs for Philadelphia.

Priester (3-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Marlins. He struck out three.

Priester got off to a rough start, surrendering a leadoff double to Jorge Soler to start the game, along with two more singles and a run in the first inning. He would go on to allow another three more runs on the day, with the last two coming home after the right-hander was relieved by Dauri Moreta with one out in the sixth. Priester allowed a season-high 10 hits in the contest while it marked the fifth time in his last six starts in which he gave up at least four runs.

Dodd was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The 25-year-old was previously announced as Atlanta's probable starter for Sunday, and he's now officially been added to the MLB roster. Dodd has a 7.62 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 14:11 K:BB across 28.1 innings (six starts) this season, but he'll receive a chance to end the campaign on a positive note with game No. 162 being meaningless for Atlanta.

Ryu did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits over three innings against the Rays. He struck out one and did not issue any walks.

Ryu got knocked around early, giving up one run on three hits in the first inning as the Rays took an early lead. He would allow another four hits over the next two frames before being relieved by Trevor Richards to open the fourth. The lefty has now failed to make it through five innings in three consecutive starts, allowing six or more hits in each of those outings. Ryu also recorded just one strikeout on the day, which marked his season low.
