The Giants reinstated Bericoto (knee) from the injured list Friday.

Bericoto began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Sept. 9 and went 9-for-27 with two RBI and four runs scored over seven games. Now fully recovered from the bone bruise in his right knee, the 24-year-old will rejoin the active roster to replace Nate Furman (oblique) on San Francisco's bench.

The Giants placed Furman on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a right oblique strain, retroactive to Wednesday.

Furman will be eligible to return from the IL for San Francisco's final two regular-season games, but with the Giants out of the race for a wild-card spot, they likely won't be in a rush to bring him back. Victor Bericoto (knee) was activated from the injured list to take Furman's place on the 28-man roster.

The Giants recalled Davitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Davitt will join the big-league roster to replace Logan Webb, who landed on the injured list Friday with a finger blister. Davitt has given up one run in two MLB innings this season with the White Sox and has struggled to a 5.97 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 69.1 frames at the Triple-A level.

The Giants placed Webb on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right middle finger blister, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Manager Tony Vitello said last weekend that the Giants would consider shutting Webb down after he allowed 16 earned runs in 13 innings over his last three starts. With the team out of the playoff chase and Webb now dealing with a blister, the 29-year-old's season will officially come to an early end. He'll finish 2026 with a 4.31 ERA -- his worst mark since 2020 -- and a 1.17 WHIP across 160.2 innings. Duncan Davitt was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Fairbanks will undergo surgery to treat thoracic outlet syndrome, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Fairbanks was ruled out for the season upon landing on the injured list Tuesday with nerve irritation in his right hand, and now that he's confirmed to be dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome, he'll go under the knife to treat the issue. A timeline for his return should emerge after his procedure, though he'll likely have to sit out the first portion of the 2027 campaign.

Suarez (elbow) is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Suarez has been slowly progressing through his recovery from right elbow inflammation that landed him on the 15-day injured list in late June before he was transferred to the 60-day IL on Sept. 1. Sunday is the last game of the regular season for Gwinnett, so any additional sessions for Suarez will likely be in bullpens while with Atlanta. The veteran right-hander could be back in the bullpen with the big club before the 2026 regular season concludes.

The Dodgers promoted Sirota from Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, broadcaster Alex Freedman of the OKC Comets reports.

This makes it three different levels for Sirota this season, with most of his time spent in Double-A after he started the year with High-A Great Lakes. He's been effective at the plate wherever he's played, and in Double-A, he has a .296/.449/.488 slash line with five steals, two triples, 10 home runs and 40 RBI across 334 plate appearances. Sirota has put himself into position to make his major-league debut during the 2027 campaign.

Bowlan was diagnosed with a mild right groin strain Friday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Although Bowlan was diagnosed with a strain, the Phillies will hold off on placing him on the IL because they believe he will be able to return before the end of the season. When healthy, the 29-year-old has been one of the most reliable members of Philadelphia's bullpen, posting a 3.36 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 56.1 innings.

The Dodgers optioned Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Knack was recalled Thursday and went on to log four shutout innings against Cincinnati in the series finale. The 28-year-old will head back to Oklahoma, where he sports a 2.08 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB over 34.2 innings this season. His major-league stint will come to an end with Edwin Diaz (neck) being activated from the 15-day injured list.

The Dodgers activated Diaz (neck) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Diaz has been officially cleared to return from his neck injury. The veteran reliever will serve in low-leverage situations upon his return and is unlikely to see many save opportunities unless favored closer Tanner Scott is unavailable. Across five rehab outings, Diaz allowed six runs on four hits and seven walks while striking out four across 4.1 innings.
