The Pirates recalled Murdock from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

He will provide the Pirates with a fresh bullpen arm for Sunday's regular-season finale. Murdock is unscored upon in three outings with the big club this season.

The Pirates optioned Sisk to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Sisk had pitched each of the last two days, so he's being sent out in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. Noah Murdock is grabbing the vacated roster spot.

The Phillies designated Urquidy for assignment Sunday.

Urquidy made one appearance during his brief time in Philadelphia, allowing three runs over 2.2 innings in Saturday's loss to the Rays. He's clearing off the active roster to make room for the return of Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list.

The Mets recalled Yan from the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Sunday.

Yan was just sent packing Saturday but will return for the final day of the season as a replacement for Jonathan Pintaro (illness). Perhaps best known for his eccentric strikeout celebrations, Yan has turned in a 4.87 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 26:15 K:BB in 20.1 innings spanning 18 appearances so far in his first big-league season.

The Mets placed Pintaro on the 15-day injured list Sunday with an illness.

The unspecified illness will end Pintaro's campaign, opening the door for Jefry Yan to return to the active roster for the final day of the season. Pintaro made 22 appearances out of the Mets' bullpen in 2026, posting a 5.28 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 30:16 K:BB with three holds in 30.2 innings.

Yates announced his retirement from Major League Baseball following Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers.

Yates wrapped up his 12-year MLB career with 1.2 scoreless innings as the opener Saturday, allowing two hits while striking out one batter. He made 46 appearances this season between the Angels and Pirates, posting a 3.19 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 49:17 K:BB over 42.1 innings. The right-hander also tallied three saves to bring his career total to 101, with 41 of those saves coming in 2019 when he led the majors in the category.

Seymour is slated to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers in what's likely to be a bullpen day.

Seymour made nine starts at Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the season but has made all 24 of his appearances with the Giants to date out of the bullpen. He hasn't recorded more than five outs in any outing since Aug. 15, so the right-hander may be in line for just a 1-to-2-inning start in the season finale.

Clarke allowed one run on three hits and a hit batsman over two-thirds of an inning in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday. He didn't record a strikeout or a walk.

Clarke ended up struggling as an opener for the bullpen game, though he was far from alone in laboring on the mound. The Padres put up at least one run in five of the first six innings, and the back-and-forth nature of the game kept Clarke from being on the hook for the loss. While he has a strong 2.96 ERA over 73 innings this season, he's surrendered seven runs (six earned) over his last six innings to stumble to the finish line.

Ashby earned the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals, striking out two batters across two innings.

Ashby was brought out of the bullpen for the eighth inning, and he needed 26 pitches (13 strikes) to secure the two-frame save, ending the game by striking out Leo Bernal in the ninth. It was the fourth save of the season for Ashby, who has struck out two batters in three of his last five outings. He has a 3.12 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 89.1 innings this season, along with a career-best 116 strikeouts.

Scott earned the save Saturday against the Giants, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

That gives Scott a save on back-to-back days for the Dodgers. Edwin Diaz is being eased back into the fray following his latest stint on the injured list, and it remains to be seen if Los Angeles will be ready to get its former closer back into high-leverage situations in the postseason. Scott appears to be the favorite for saves heading into the playoffs, sporting a 2.69 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 82:15 K:BB with 25 saves (29 opportunities) and 13 holds across 63.2 innings.
