Mets' Pablo Reyes: Handed outright assignment
The Mets outrighted Reyes to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The Mets DFA'd Reyes on Monday, and the shortstop has elected to remain in the Mets organization after clearing waivers. The 30-year-old was traded from Boston to New York in May, but he's yet to log an at-bat for the Metropolitans.

DL Hall RP | MIL
Brewers' DL Hall: Starting Sunday vs. Arizona
Hall is listed as the Brewers' starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.
Hall logged 5.2 innings across two relief appearances since joining the Brewers as a September call-up, and Sunday will mark his first start since he tossed seven scoreless frames in Cincinnati on Aug. 30. Hall has the potential to look excellent on the right day, but he's struggled to stay healthy for prolonged stretches while working as a traditional starter. Arizona's team .787 OPS against lefties ranks second in baseball behind Philadelphia (.800 OPS), so Hall will carry some risk as a streaming option.

Jackson Chourio LF | MIL
Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Goes yard in win
Chourio went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Giants.
Chourio added to Milwaukee's lead with a two-run homer in the top of the eighth inning, giving the outfielder his 20th long ball of the season and his third so far in the month of September. It also marked the first time in his last eight games that Chourio didn't go down on strikes, though he's still batting just .200 (7-for-35) on the month with seven extra-base hits, four RBI, five runs and seven walks. Chourio has also homered in four of his last 11 contests.

Camilo Doval RP | SF
Giants' Camilo Doval: Takes second loss
Doval took the loss against the Brewers on Thursday, allowing one run on one walk over one inning while striking out one.
Doval didn't have his best stuff when he took the mound in the seventh inning, issuing a leadoff walk to Willy Adames before then being charged with three wild pitches in the frame -- the latter of which would lead to Adames coming home to give Milwaukee a 1-0 lead. The right-hander is having an awful September as a middle reliever for San Francisco as he's now allowed at least one run in four of six appearances this month, pushing his season-long ERA up to 5.02. He's also allowed runs in back-to-back outings.

Devin Williams RP | NYM
Brewers' Devin Williams: Fans two for 11th save
Williams picked up the save over the Giants on Thursday, allowing two hits over a scoreless ninth inning while striking out two.
Williams struck out Matt Chapman on three straight pitches after taking the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead. However, he would then allow back-to-back hits, including a double to put the game-tying run on base. The right-hander was able to retire the next two batters to record his 11th save of the campaign and his third in the month of September. Williams has also posted multiple strikeouts in six consecutive appearances, posting a 13:3 K:BB over that stretch. He's still yet to allow a run this month.

Hayden Birdsong P | SF
Giants' Hayden Birdsong: Throws five scoreless frames
Birdsong did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Brewers on Thursday, allowing two hits and one walk over five scoreless innings while striking out four.
Birdsong got off to a great start Thursday, allowing just one hit through the first four innings before being relieved in the sixth after throwing just 68 pitches. It marked the right-hander's first time going at least five innings since July 27 against the Rockies, which was also the last time that he collected a win. Additionally, it marked the first time in Birdsong's last five starts that he didn't issue multiple walks.

Victor Vodnik RP | MIA
Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Pitches in seventh inning
Vodnik walked one and struck out one in a scoreless inning Thursday against the Tigers.
Vodnik was reinstated from the injured list Sunday and has made two scoreless appearances since -- each coming in the seventh inning. Meanwhile, Tyler Kinley has picked up both of Colorado's saves in that same span, suggesting Vodnik is out of the closer role for the time being.

Jordan Beck RF | COL
Rockies' Jordan Beck: Homers Thursday
Beck went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Tigers.
Beck opened the scoring in the third inning with a 417-foot blast of Tarik Skubal, putting the Rockies ahead 1-0. It's the third homer of the year for the outfielder, and his first in 22 games since returning from a three-month stay on the injured list. Beck had been scuffling at the plate since the start of September, going just 1-for-17 with a 50 percent strikeout rate in six games prior to Thursday. Overall, he's slashing .201/.256/.299 with 13 runs scored, 12 RBI and six stolen bases across 156 plate appearances with Colorado this season.

Frankie Montas RP | NYM
Brewers' Frankie Montas: Hurls six-inning gem
Montas (7-10) picked up the win over the Giants on Thursday, allowing two hits and two walks over six scoreless frames while striking out eight.
Montas stifled San Francisco's lineup, allowing just two batters to reach second base during his six innings on the mound. The right-hander generated 19 swings and misses en route to posting eight or more strikeouts for only the third time this season. It also marked Montas' second consecutive quality start to open the month, and he now carries a very strong 18:5 K:BB September to go along with a 2.25 ERA.
