The Dodgers optioned Halvorsen to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Halvorsen fired a scoreless frame Saturday against the Giants, but overall it's been a struggle since he was acquired by the Dodgers in July, as he's posted an 8.10 ERA through 11 appearances. Kyle Hurt was called up Sunday in a corresponding move.

Lowder (6-12) took the loss Sunday against the Cubs, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks across three innings. He struck out three.

It's been a tough finish to the season for Lowder, who's given up 21 runs across just 15.1 innings in his last three starts. His ERA is up to 6.01 through 127.1 innings with a 1.55 WHIP and 101:54 K:BB this season. Lowder will likely get one more chance to end his season on a high note. He's currently in line to face the Blue Jays on the road next weekend.

The Dodgers recalled Hurt from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

The right-hander spent the past couple weeks at Triple-A and will rejoin Los Angeles ahead of Sunday's series finale versus San Francisco. Hurt has made 43 appearances in the majors this year and has a 4.33 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 56:23 K:BB over 43.2 innings.

Peterson (9-8) earned the win Sunday over the Reds, allowing a run on three hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out seven.

Peterson has now turned in back-to-back quality starts while holding opponents to just three runs across 16.1 innings in his last three outings. The 31-year-old left-hander sports a 4.96 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 131:63 K:BB across 143.1 innings between the Cubs and Mets this year. Peterson will likely make one more regular-season start, currently slated to come next weekend in Boston.

Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Grisham (hamstring) isn't expected to come off the injured list before the end of the regular season but could return for the playoffs, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The veteran outfielder landed on the shelf in early September due to a hamstring strain, and it appears he won't be rejoining the active roster during the final week of the regular season. Grisham has a .703 OPS in 483 plate appearances this year and a .170/.261/.352 slash line in 45 games since the All-Star break, so he may not reclaim a starting role even if he's added to the postseason roster.

Guerrero was removed from Sunday's game against the Rangers due to lower-back tightness, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

The veteran slugger went 1-for-2 before being replaced at first base for the bottom of the fourth inning. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but any absence for Guerrero would be significant for Toronto with just one week left in the regular season.

Bregman was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds after being struck in the face by a foul ball while in the on-deck circle, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

A check swing by Michael Busch resulted in an unusual trajectory for the foul ball, and Bregman had minimal time to protect himself. The veteran third baseman immediately headed to the clubhouse and was replaced by a pinch hitter. According to Montemurro, Bregman had a laceration, a bloody nose and a swollen cheek. He was sent to the hospital to be evaluated further.

Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Chisholm (thumb) could be reinstated from the injured list as early as Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The second baseman landed on the shelf after sustaining a thumb sprain Sept. 8 versus Colorado, and it appears he'll be able to rejoin the Yankees after missing a little more than the 10-day minimum. Chisholm had a hot start to September prior to the injury, going 6-for-18 with a homer, two walks and three runs through five games.

Karros was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to back spasms.

Karros was penciled in at third base but will instead remain on the bench due to the back issue. He'll have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery. Connor Norby will shift to the hot corner while TJ Rumfield enters the lineup at first base.

The Dodgers recalled Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander is scheduled to pitch behind opener Jack Dreyer against the Giants on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Sheehan made two starts for Los Angeles during the first half of September but was an unfortunate roster casualty despite allowing just one run with a 15:2 K:BB over 11.2 innings. The right-hander will now get another look in the majors, this time as a bulk reliever.
