The Dodgers optioned Feduccia to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Feduccia appeared in three games after Austin Barnes hit the 10-day injured list Sept. 16. In that small sample, Feduccia went 3-for-10 with a walk and RBI. Barnes was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move Thursday.

The Dodgers recalled Casparius from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Just two days after being optioned to the minors, Casparius will return to the Dodgers' bullpen to make up for the loss of Brusdar Graterol (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day IL on Thursday. The 25-year-old Casparius has been solid during his brief time in the majors, allowing just one earned run over four innings, and he figures to work in middle relief during the final four games of the regular season.

The Dodgers placed Graterol on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder inflammation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Graterol has thrown seven shutout innings since returning from the a hamstring injury Sept. 10, but he'll now officially miss the Dodgers' final four games as well as the first portion of the team's postseason run. Shoulder problems caused the 26-year-old righty to miss the entire first half of the season, though the severity of his latest injury remains unknown. In a corresponding move, Ben Casparius was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the opening in Los Angeles' bullpen.

The Dodgers activated Barnes (toe) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Barnes fractured his left big toe Sept. 15 after fracturing the same toe in August. However, the fractures occurred in different spots of the toe. With Barnes returning from injury, Hunter Feduccia was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Pages is in the lineup as the center fielder and is batting ninth Thursday against the Padres.

Pages was sent to center field off the bench in Wednesday night's game after Miguel Rojas was removed following the fourth inning due to a thigh injury. Tommy Edman started in center field, but moved to shortstop with Pages entering the game. With Rojas not expected to return until Sunday, expect Pages to find increased playing time in the final few games of the season.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Nelson (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports

Nelson threw 28 pitches in his second bullpen session Tuesday following his first session of 16 pitches. With his return coming near the close of the season, it seems Nelson will be used as a multi-inning reliever, but it is possible he may return as a starter. Yilber Diaz and Blake Walston were both optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday as part of a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks optioned Walston to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Since rejoining the D-backs' bullpen Sept. 15, Walston has surrendered eight runs (five earned) over just 5.2 innings while striking out seven batters and walking one. He and Yilber Diaz will end up as Arizona's roster casualties following the activation of Ryne Nelson (shoulder) and promotion of Alek Thomas, and the 23-year-old Walston likely won't make it back to the majors during the final series of the season this weekend.

The Diamondbacks optioned Diaz to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Diaz made three appearances for the Diamondbacks after being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 12, during which he allowed three earned runs over 8.1 innings while striking out five batters and walking four. He and Blake Walston will now be sent back to the minors as Alek Thomas comes up from Reno and Ryne Nelson (shoulder) returns from the IL.

The Diamondbacks recalled Thomas from Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Thomas was optioned to Triple-A in the middle of August, but landed on the 7-day injured list due to a right oblique strain a few days after. He was reinstated from the injured list Sept. 18 after missing a month of action. With his return to the big club, Yilber Diaz and Blake Walston were optioned to Triple-A Reno as part of a corresponding move.

Conine isn't in Miami's lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

Although Conine is 4-for-13 with a homer and two RBI across his last five contests, he'll sit down for the second time in three games while Kyle Stowers, Derek Hill and Jesus Sanchez form the Marlins' outfield trio.
