Jimmy Herget RP | CHC
Cubs' Jimmy Herget: Claimed by North Siders
The Cubs claimed Herget off waivers from Atlanta and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Herget made eight appearances for Atlanta and posted a 4.38 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 12.1 major-league innings before being designated for assignment. After being scooped up by the Cubs, Herget will take over a spot on the organization's 40-man roster, but he'll head to the Triple-A level for now.

Dedniel Nunez RP | NYM
Mets' Dedniel Nunez: Out for season
Nunez (forearm) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Nunez has been dealing with a lingering forearm injury he initially sustained in late July. Nunez was reinstated Aug. 23 but was placed back on the shelf Aug. 29 when his flexor injury returned. The right-hander appeared in 25 games for the Mets this year, logging a 2.31 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across 35 innings with an impressive 48:8 K:BB.

Giants' Camilo Doval: Takes second loss
Doval took the loss against the Brewers on Thursday, allowing one run on one walk over one inning while striking out one.
Doval didn't have his best stuff when he took the mound in the seventh inning, issuing a leadoff walk to Willy Adames before then being charged with three wild pitches in the frame -- the latter of which would lead to Adames coming home to give Milwaukee a 1-0 lead. The right-hander is having an awful September as a middle reliever for San Francisco as he's now allowed at least one run in four of six appearances this month, pushing his season-long ERA up to 5.02. He's also allowed runs in back-to-back outings.

Devin Williams RP | MIL
Brewers' Devin Williams: Fans two for 11th save
Williams picked up the save over the Giants on Thursday, allowing two hits over a scoreless ninth inning while striking out two.
Williams struck out Matt Chapman on three straight pitches after taking the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead. However, he would then allow back-to-back hits, including a double to put the game-tying run on base. The right-hander was able to retire the next two batters to record his 11th save of the campaign and his third in the month of September. Williams has also posted multiple strikeouts in six consecutive appearances, posting a 13:3 K:BB over that stretch. He's still yet to allow a run this month.

Victor Vodnik RP | COL
Rockies' Victor Vodnik: Pitches in seventh inning
Vodnik walked one and struck out one in a scoreless inning Thursday against the Tigers.
Vodnik was reinstated from the injured list Sunday and has made two scoreless appearances since -- each coming in the seventh inning. Meanwhile, Tyler Kinley has picked up both of Colorado's saves in that same span, suggesting Vodnik is out of the closer role for the time being.

Landen Roupp RP | SF
Giants' Landen Roupp: Listed as Sunday's starter
Roupp is listed as the Giants' probable pitcher for Sunday's matchup against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Roupp made his first career start Tuesday and limited the Brewers to two runs across five innings. He'll enter his second turn through the rotation having maintained a 3.44 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a 36:19 K:BB across 36.2 frames in the majors this season.

Jesus Tinoco RP | MIA
Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Grabs second career save
Tinoco got the save in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. He pitched two innings without allowing a run or a hit and striking out two.
Tinoco entered the game in the eighth inning with a two-run lead and proceeded to retire all six batters he faced to record his first save since 2019, when he was a member of the Rockies. The right-hander is pitching for his third team this season but seems to have found a home in Miami, as he has a 1.33 ERA and 0.54 WHIP in 20.1 innings since joining the Marlins. The 29-year-old has a chance at being the closer for the Marlins down the stretch with Calvin Faucher (shoulder) and John McMillon (elbow) on the injured list.

Darren McCaughan SP | MIA
Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Allows three runs in no decision
McCaughan came away with the no-decision in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. He allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings while striking out one.
McCaughan got off to a rough start, giving up three runs in the first inning before settling down and getting through the next four frames unscathed. McCaughan was making his third straight start and completed five innings for the first time this year. The 28-year-old has yet to strikeout more than four hitters in any of his eight appearances this season and carries a 7.06 ERA through 29.1 innings.

Brewers' Bryse Wilson: Set to resume throwing
Wilson (oblique) will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Wilson landed on the injured list Sept. 3 and his upcoming bullpen session will mark his first time throwing since. He should have a chance to return before the close of the regular season, barring a setback.

Rob Zastryzny RP | MIL
Brewers' Rob Zastryzny: Shifts to 60-day IL
Zastryzny (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Zastryzny has been sidelined since July 26 with elbow tendinitis. He appeared to be closing in on a return but had his rehab assignment paused in late August. He'll be sidelined until at least Sept. 26 as a result of this move.
