  • Mitch White RP | MIL

    Blue Jays' Mitch White: Tuesday's start postponed

    White won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Orioles since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    The 27-year-old has given up exactly three runs in each of his past three starts (covering 13.2 innings), and his final start of the regular season will be pushed back. The game will be made up via a doubleheader Wednesday, and White should start one of those contests.

  • Orioles' Mike Baumann: Tuesday's game postponed

    Baumann won't pitch as scheduled Tuesday against the Blue Jays since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    The 27-year-old was scheduled to make his final start of the season Tuesday but will instead have the outing pushed back a day. The game will be made up via a doubleheader Wednesday, and Baumann will start Game 2 of the twin bill, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com.

  • Taylor Clarke RP | ARI

    Royals' Taylor Clarke: Done for season

    Clarke was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a left oblique strain.

    With the regular season coming to an end soon and the Royals well outside of the playoff picture, Clarke will end the season on the injured list. He will finish the year with a 4.04 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 49 innings to go along with a 3-1 record and three saves. Collin Snider was called up from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday in a corresponding move.

  • Collin Snider RP | CHC

    Royals' Collin Snider: Recalled from Triple-A

    Snider was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    Snider will rejoin the Royals after Taylor Clarke (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. Snider has a 6.82 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over 33 innings out of the bullpen this season. His unimpressive numbers mean he will likely only be used in low-leverage situations as the Royals close out their season.

  • Albert Abreu RP | CIN

    Yankees' Albert Abreu: Back from injury

    Abreu (elbow) was activated off the 15-day injured list Tuesday,

    Abreu had been out since late August with right elbow inflammation, but he's good to go after making four scoreless relief appearances. In 38 major-league innings this season, Abreu owns a 3.32 ERA but a poor 1.47 WHIP.

  • Ron Marinaccio RP | CIN

    Yankees' Ron Marinaccio: Lands on injured list

    Marinaccio was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a stress reaction in his right shin.

    Marinaccio has had a strong rookie season, posting a 2.05 ERA and a 30.9 percent strikeout rate in 44 innings of work. The injury means he'll end the season with those numbers and will remain unavailable for the ALDS, but it's possible he returns for the ALCS should the Yankees get that far.

  • Rays' Jimmy Yacabonis: Back in big leagues

    Yacabonis' contract was selected by the Rays on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Yacabonis has thrown 13 innings at the big-league level for the Marlins and Rays this season, struggling to a 7.62 ERA. He's been far better in 33.2 innings in the minors, cruising to a 3.21 ERA while striking out 31.4 percent of opposing batters. Kevin Herget was designated for assignment to clear space on the roster.

  • Kevin Herget RP | NYM

    Rays' Kevin Herget: Dropped from roster again

    Herget was designated for assignment Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Herget has now been designated for assignment three times in the past six weeks. His latest stint on the 40-man roster lasted just one day, as he had his contract selected Monday morning and went on to allow four runs in 4.1 innings of relief that evening against the Red Sox. Jimmy Yacabonis was called up to replace Herget on the roster.

  • Tim Mayza RP | PHI

    Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Notches rain-aided save

    Mayza worked a perfect seventh inning to record his second save of the season in Monday's 5-1 win over the Orioles.

    The game was called on account of rain after the top of the eighth inning, leaving Mayza with the save despite him coming in well before the ninth. The southpaw has had a couple stumbles over the final month of the regular season, but he still sports a 4.09 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB through 11 innings since the beginning of September with three wins and five holds in 16 appearances, in addition to both of his saves.

  • Greg Weissert RP | BOS

    Yankees' Greg Weissert: Up as extra man

    Weissert was recalled Tuesday to serve as the 29th man for the doubleheader against the Rangers.

    The 27-year-old received his first taste of big-league action this season and has largely failed to impress. In 10.1 innings, he owns a 6.10 ERA, though his 1.06 WHIP is an encouraging mark.
