The Padres recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Rodriguez has spent the vast majority of the season in the minor leagues, though he already has one MLB outing under his belt -- a 1.2-inning scoreless appearance against the Pirates on May 31. Since then, he's posted a 3.14 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 14.1 frames at El Paso, and he'll now provide the Padres with some extra bullpen depth for the final few weeks of the regular season. JP Sears was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Romano (finger) recently experienced stiffness in his neck as well as numbness in his middle finger, and Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Saturday that the reliever may be dealing with a "nerve thing," Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

Romano landed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 26 for what was initially described as right middle-finger inflammation. Thomson's comments suggest the right-hander's issue may be tied to a nerve problem, though that's not an official diagnosis. It's unclear at this point if Romano will be able to return to the Phillies' bullpen by the end of the regular season.

Miami recalled Roa from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Roa's return to the Marlins was spurred by fellow reliever Tyler Phillips landing on the paternity list. Phillips is allowed up to three days away from the team, so Roa's time with the big-league squad may be short. Roa has just one appearance with Miami this year, allowing one hit and one walk with three strikeouts over two scoreless innings against Philadelphia on Sept. 6.

The Marlins placed Phillips on the paternity list Saturday.

Phillips will take at least a day (and no more than three) to be with his growing family. To fill his spot on the 26-man roster and in the bullpen, the Marlins recalled right-handed reliever Christian Roa from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Lucchesi threw a scoreless inning in Friday's 5-1 extra-inning victory over the Dodgers, hitting one batter and striking out one.

Lucchesi threw eight of his 17 pitches for strikes while retiring three of the four batters he faced. He hasn't allowed a run in nine consecutive outings. The left-hander owns a 2.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB across 33.2 innings in 33 appearances this season.

The Mets recalled Hamel from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

Since his demotion to Triple-A in August, Hamel has posted a 7.53 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 14.1 innings. Despite his recent performance, he'll rejoin the big club to provide depth out of the bullpen, replacing Huascar Brazoban.

The Mets optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

After pitching 3.1 shutout innings Friday, Brazoban will be sent back to the minors in favor of a fresh arm in the form of Dom Hamel. The 35-year-old Brazoban owns a 3.67 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with the Mets this season, which helps his chances of returning to Queens before the end of the regular season.

DeSclafani (thumb) has made a lone relief appearance since being activated from the 15-day injured list Sunday, covering three innings and allowing four earned runs on four hits and no walks while striking out two in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Giants.

DeSclafani had briefly served as the Diamondbacks' No. 5 starter prior to landing on the injured list Aug. 13 due to right thumb inflammation, but Arizona has opted to keep Nabil Crismatt in the rotation over DeSclafani since the latter pitcher's activation. After the 35-year-old righty was lit up in his first relief outing upon returning from the IL, he's unlikely to garner consideration for a spot start over the final two weeks of the regular season unless an injury forces Arizona to alter its rotation.

Chandler is slated to start Saturday's game against the Nationals in Washington.

After turning in a shiny 2.25 ERA and 0.83 WHIP over 12 innings across three bulk-relief appearances to begin his time in the big leagues, Chandler was handed his first MLB start this past Sunday against the Brewers. The 22-year-old righty was handily knocked around by the NL Central leaders, lasting just 2.2 innings in a 10-2 loss while yielding nine earned runs on nine hits and three walks. Despite the wretched outing, Chandler will be deployed as a starter once again Saturday, though another poor showing could prompt the Pirates to shift him back to his prior bulk-relief role.

Ferrer picked up the save in Friday's 6-5 victory over the Pirates. He allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one over one inning.

Ferrer was called upon to protect a 6-3 lead in the ninth inning Friday, and he needed the entirety of that cushion and was fortunate to escape with the save. The bumpy performance ended a string of 14 straight scoreless appearances, though he remains 9-for-9 in save chances since taking over as Washington's closer after the trade deadline.
