Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Henriquez has a "low-grade" back strain, and the team is "hopeful" the reliever will be back for the postseason, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Henriquez landed on the 15-day injured list Monday and will not be eligible to pitch again before the end of the regular season. However, he's managed to avoid a serious injury and could be ready to help the Dodgers once the playoffs roll around. The hard-throwing reliever has been dynamite out of the Dodgers' bullpen in 2026, posting a 2.85 ERA and 71:25 K:BB over 60 innings.

The Dodgers optioned Gervase to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Gervase was added to the roster earlier this week but did not appear in any games. He's being replaced by Kris Bubic (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day injured list.

The Mets recalled Yan from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

He'll grab the roster spot vacated by the injured Daniel Duarte (hamstring). Yan posted a 5.68 ERA and 17:11 K:BB across 12.2 frames in an earlier stint with the big club.

The Mets placed Duarte on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamstring strain.

The injury ends what has been a terrific season out of the Mets' bullpen, as Duarte holds a 2.12 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB over 29.2 innings. He is under team control for several more years and has set himself up well to be part of the Mets' bullpen in 2027.

The Mets recalled Curry from Triple-A Syracuse and will have him start Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

He'll enter the rotation as a replacement for the injured Robert Stock (fingers). All of the right-hander's eight outings for the Mets to this point have come in relief, but 13 of Curry's 15 appearances at Syracuse have been starts. He holds a 3.44 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 18.1 frames with the big club.

Iglesias earned his 33rd save of the season after retiring all three batters he faced in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Cubs. He did not record a strikeout.

Iglesias was handed a three-run cushion after Drake Baldwin's two-run homer in the top of the ninth, and the veteran right-hander made quick work of Chicago. He needed 15 pitches (11 strikes) to complete a perfect frame and secure Atlanta's comeback victory. Iglesias has converted 33 of his 36 save opportunities this season while posting a 2.73 ERA, and he hasn't blown a save since Aug. 7.

Pintaro (2-2) took the loss after allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and a walk while striking out two over one inning in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Orioles.

Pintaro entered the game in the 11th inning in a 4-4 tie and was close to escaping the inning after striking out Pete Alonso for the second out. However, Coby Mayo drove an 0-2 pitch to deep center, where A.J. Ewing crashed into the wall trying to catch it, and the ball rolled away, allowing the 24-year-old third baseman to circle the bases for a three-run inside-the-park homer. Pintaro has given up five runs (four earned) across six outings and seven innings in September, and while he should continue to see opportunities out of the bullpen, he's not likely to pitch in many high-leverage situations going forward.

Senga was charged with a blown save after allowing one run on one hit while striking out two over one inning in Tuesday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Orioles.

Senga entered the ninth with New York protecting a 3-2 lead and retired the first batter before Pete Alonso crushed a 414-foot solo homer to tie the game. It was Alonso's 300th career home run and his first against the Mets after spending his first seven seasons in New York. Senga recovered to retire the next two hitters, but the damage resulted in his first blown save in eight opportunities this season. He's now given up runs in two of his last three appearances, but with Devin Williams (shoulder) still on the IL, Senga should continue to see ninth-inning opportunities for now.

Tidwell (1-2) earned the win after allowing two runs on three hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against St. Louis on Tuesday. He struck out four.

Tidwell recorded his first quality start of the season. The right-hander allowed just three hits, with one being a solo homer by Alec Burleson in the first inning. This year, the 25-year-old has posted a 4.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB over 53.1 innings. Tidwell is slated to make his next start Monday against Minnesota.

Webb (6-5) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk while retiring only two batters out of the bullpen.

Staked to a 3-2 lead in the top of the seventh inning, Webb served up a two-run home run to Ozzie Albies, which was ultimately the deciding play in the game before Atlanta tacked on two more run for a 6-3 win. The righty reliever has been scuffling lately, as he's allowed two or more earned runs in five of his last eight appearances, and he has a brutal 14.85 ERA during the stretch. Webb has mostly been good this year for the Cubs overall, though he's not carrying much momentum into the postseason, and he may slot into more of a middle-relief role once the playoffs begin.
