Alex Colome RP | CHW
Rockies' Alex Colome: Lands on bereavement list
Colome (personal) was placed on the bereavement list Sunday.
Colome hasn't pitched since last Sunday when he surrendered three earned runs over one-third of an inning, and he'll now step away from the team for a few days for personal reasons. Gavin Hollowell will join the big-league roster in a corresponding move.

Bryan Hoeing RP | SD
Marlins' Bryan Hoeing: Rejoins big club
Hoeing was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Hoeing was demoted last week after he served as the 29th man for a doubleheader, and he'll return to the big-league club ahead of Sunday's series finale in Washington. The 25-year-old has appeared in three games this year and has given up 12 earned runs with a 4:3 K:BB over seven innings.

Cole Sulser RP | TB
Marlins' Cole Sulser: Demoted to minors
Sulser was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Sulser has two saves and six holds this season, but he'll head to the minors Sunday with 10 runs allowed in his past 11 outings. Overall this year he has a 5.29 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 34 innings.

Kyle Finnegan RP | DET
Nationals' Kyle Finnegan: Picks up save
Finnegan picked up the save in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Marlins, allowing no runs on no hits while striking out three and walking none over one inning.
Finnegan was lights-out Saturday, tossing nine of 14 pitches for strikes to earn the save. Finnegan now has saves in back-to-back appearances after his prior five appearances resulted in a mix of losses, no-decisions and a hold. Finnegan has not allowed a run or a walk in his last three appearances and has allowed only one hit during that span. His season ERA now sits at 3.77.

Dakota Hudson SP | LAA
Cardinals' Dakota Hudson: Stellar in win
Hudson (8-7) won the first game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Reds. He allowed an unearned run on six hits and two walks while striking out five over eight innings.
Hudson's lone blemish came in the seventh inning, though it was his own error that ultimately led to the run. Beyond that one small hiccup, Hudson looked spectacular in his first major-league appearance since Aug. 30. The right-hander has struggled with consistency this year, and he now has a 4.16 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 77:58 K:BB across 134 innings through 25 starts. Hudson was up as the 29th man for Saturday's twin bill, so it's unclear if he'll stick in the big leagues or if he'll head back to Triple-A Mmephis after an impressive outing. If he does stay in the majors, it's uncertain if the Cardinals would keep him in a six-man rotation or use him as a multi-inning reliever.

Kenley Jansen RP | DET
Braves' Kenley Jansen: Sharp in 34th save
Jansen struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.
Jansen was reportedly unavailable with a finger issue Friday, but he was deemed good-to-go ahead of Saturday's contest. A save chance arose, and he needed just nine pitches (seven strikes) to convert it. This was his first save opportunity since he blew a chance in Seattle last Sunday. Jansen now has a 3.76 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 72:19 K:BB through 55 innings while converting 34 of 41 save chances. Assuming the finger soreness doesn't resurface, he should remain Atlanta's primary closer the rest of the way.

Sean Hjelle RP | SF
Giants' Sean Hjelle: Rocked in third inning
Hjelle (0-2) took the loss during Saturday's 7-2 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk in one-plus innings. He failed to record a strikeout.
Hjelle followed opener John Brebbia and permitted two runs on three baserunners in the second inning before allowing six straight baserunners to open the third, prompting his removal. The 25-year-old's allowed multiple runs in three of his five appearances this season, and he possesses a 9.75 ERA along with a 2.17 WHIP in 12 innings.

Bryse Wilson RP | MIL
Pirates' Bryse Wilson: Takes ninth loss
Wilson (3-9) took the loss Saturday versus the Mets. He allowed four runs on four hits, two walks and two hit batters while striking out five over 5.1 innings.
Most of the damage came on a second-inning three-run home run by Eduardo Escobar. The Pirates' offense was unable to cover up that mistake, with Wilson taking his first loss in his last four outings. He's given up at least three runs in seven straight appearances, pushing his season ERA to 6.07 with a 1.48 WHIP and 67:26 K:BB through 99.1 innings across 22 appearances (18 starts). Wilson is expected to draw an easier matchup at home against the Cubs next week.

Josh Hader RP | HOU
Padres' Josh Hader: Tallies 33rd save
Hader saved Saturday's 2-0 win against the Diamondbacks, allowing one hit and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.
Hader was brought in to face the top of Arizona's order and worked around a Jake McCarthy one-out single to lock down his 33rd save in 36 opportunities. The 28-year-old has recorded a save in four of his last six outings after failing to do so in seven straight appearances and possesses a 1.80 ERA across five September innings. Despite a high 5.84 ERA, Hader has suffered only two negative marks (one loss, one blown save) in 17 appearances since July 22.

Daniel Bard RP | COL
Rockies' Daniel Bard: Picks up another save
Bard picked up the save in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Cubs. He did not allow a run on one hit while striking out one over one inning.
Bard has not allowed an earned run over nine innings in his last eight outings and has surrendered just three hits during that span. The righty's 1.99 ERA over 54.1 innings this season is his best since he posted a 1.93 ERA over 74.2 innings in 2010.
