Jordan Wicks SP | CHC
Cubs' Jordan Wicks: Sent to Arizona complex
The Cubs optioned Wicks to the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
After posting a 7.94 ERA and 1.94 WHIP across 11.1 innings with the big club this season, Wicks will head down to the Cubs' facility in Arizona to stay sharp now that the minor-league season is over. His departure clears room on the active roster for Daniel Palencia's (shoulder) return from the injured list.

Daniel Palencia RP | CHC
Cubs' Daniel Palencia: Activated from IL
The Cubs reinstated Palencia (shoulder) from the injured list Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Palencia has been sidelined since Sept. 8 due to a strained right shoulder, although he pitched in a rehab game Saturday, during which he gave up an unearned run and struck out two batters over two-thirds of an inning. The Cubs will now likely aim to get him a few more big-league appearances before he serves as the team's primary closer during the postseason. Jordan Wicks was optioned to the Arizona Complex League in a corresponding move.

Ryan Rolison RP | CHC
Rockies' Ryan Rolison: Optioned to Triple-A
The Rockies optioned Rolison to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Rolison made four appearances out of the Rockies' bullpen since being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 11, but in his last outing against the Marlins this past Thursday he allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one batter in one inning. He'll return to Albuquerque, where he sports a 3.34 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 29.2 innings this season.

Luis Peralta RP | COL
Rockies' Luis Peralta: Activated Wednesday
The Rockies reinstated Peralta (hip) from the injured list Wednesday.
Left hip inflammation sent Peralta onto the injured list Sept. 11, but a quick recovery will allow him to provide depth to Colorado's bullpen for the final several games of the 2025 campaign. Ryan Rolison was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Roansy Contreras RP | COL
Rockies' Roansy Contreras: Lands on IL with hand injury
The Rockies placed Contreras on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right hand contusion.
Contreras' move to the IL means he'll be shut down for the rest of the season, though he should be ready for spring training. He was claimed off waivers by the Rockies on Sept. 2 after being DFA'd by the Orioles in late August. Across four bullpen appearances for Colorado, Contreras allowed eight runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out four across 8.1 innings.

Zach Agnos P | COL
Rockies' Zach Agnos: Back from IL
The Rockies reinstated Agnos (elbow) from the injured list Wednesday.
Agnos has been on the shelf since late July with a strained right elbow, but he'll now return in time to help the Rockies' bullpen through the final five games of the season. The 25-year-old hasn't been particularly effective during his first season in the majors, logging a 6.98 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 29.2 innings.

Ron Marinaccio RP | SD
Padres' Ron Marinaccio: Demoted Wednesday
The Padres optioned Marinaccio to the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.
The Padres needed to free up a spot on the active roster for the return of David Morgan (shoulder). Marinaccio will stay ready at the team's spring training complex in Arizona in case he's needed later this week or in the postseason.

David Morgan P | SD
Padres' David Morgan: Reinstated from injured list
The Padres activated Morgan (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Morgan missed the last two weeks of action with right shoulder inflammation, but he's been cleared to rejoin the Padres' bullpen. The righty has posted a 2.80 ERA and 47:19 K:BB across 45 innings this season for the Friars.

Jose Ferrer RP | SEA
Nationals' Jose Ferrer: Picks up 10th save
Ferrer earned the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Atlanta, allowing a run on two hits while striking out two in the ninth inning.
Ferrer gave up a leadoff homer to Eli White in the ninth before bearing down to pick up his 10th save this year. The left-hander has been struggling of late, giving up six runs on nine hits in his last four appearances (five innings), though he appears to still have a grasp on the ninth-inning job. Overall, Ferrer's posted a 4.36 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP and 68 strikeouts across 74.1 innings this season.

Carlos Rodriguez SP | MIL
Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Recalled from Triple-A
The Brewers recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Rodriguez has been knocked around in three relief outings with the Brewers this season, allowing seven runs with a 6:7 K:BB over 7.2 frames. With Chad Patrick slated for a relatively abbreviated start Wednesday in San Diego, Rodriguez will provide some necessary length out of the bullpen.
