Banda (hand) threw a bullpen session Thursday and is scheduled to throw another one over the weekend, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that if Banda is able to get through his next round of mound work without any issues, there is a good chance he will be activated from the injured list when eligible Wednesday. The 31-year-old southpaw has been on the injured list since Sept. 10 due to a hairline fracture in his pitching hand.

Sewald (neck) played catch Friday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session within the next few days, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Sewald has been on the shelf since Sunday due to an issue on the left side of his neck, and Friday marks the first time he's done any sort of throwing since then. It remains unclear if he'll be able to return to the Snakes' bullpen before the end of the regular season, but the team may know more once the 34-year-old is able to begin mound work.

Kinley was placed on the Rockies' 15-day injured list Friday due to right elbow inflammation.

Kinley's placement on the injured list will end his season, and he'll finish the year with 12 saves and 15 holds while recording a 6.05 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 72:33 K:BB over 64 innings. Kinley took over as the Rockies' top closer after Victor Vodnik landed on the IL in mid-August, but the latter figures to reclaim that role for the rest of the regular season with the former on the shelf. Right-handed reliever Jake Bird was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

The Rockies recalled Bird from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

The move corresponds with Colorado placing right-hander Tyler Kinley on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. Bird has appeared in 32 major-league games out of the Rockies' bullpen this season and has registered a 4.95 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 36.1 innings.

Sanchez (shoulder) will throw one inning or 25 pitches with Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Sanchez has been on the injured list since June 2 with right shoulder inflammation. He has tossed multiple live sessions since landing on the IL, and while he isn't expected to return in 2024, the 26-year-old right-hander will at least get some reps on a rehab assignment before the season is over. In his 14 appearances prior to landing on the IL, Sanchez had a 0-3 record with a 6.06 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB across 35.2 innings.

The Brewers recalled Herget from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Herget has pitched well during his brief time with the big club this season, allowing two runs with a 7:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings. He will be used in low-leverage situations.

The Brewers designated Paredes for assignment Friday.

Paredes has posted a 1.74 ERA this season out of the Brewers' bullpen, but that's come with a 14:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings. The 28-year-old could draw some interest via trade or waivers.

The Giants recalled Warren from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

He's taking the roster spot opened up when Jordan Hicks (shoulder) landed on the IL. Warren has allowed two runs over 6.2 innings during his brief time in the Giants' bullpen in 2024.

The Marlins optioned Soriano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Soriano was called up by Miami on Sept. 7, and he allowed six runs over 6.1 frames in three appearances during his time with the big club. He's being sent down in favor of Shaun Anderson, who had his contract selected from Jacksonville on Friday.

The Cubs recalled Wingenter from Triple-A Iowa on Friday.

The right-hander was demoted to Triple-A on Tuesday but will now take the roster spot of Jordan Wicks, who was placed on the injured list due to an oblique strain. Wingenter has appeared in just five big-league games between the Red Sox and Cubs this season and has given up nine earned runs with a 4:3 K:BB over 6.1 innings.
