Spencer Bivens RP | SF
Giants' Spencer Bivens: Earns two-inning save
Bivens earned the save in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Rockies, issuing one walk while striking out three across two scoreless innings.
Bivens will finish the year with three saves, two of which came in the final two games. The 31-year-old right-hander pitched 81 innings for the Giants this season, working to a 4.00 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP and 61:25 K:BB.

Kyle Hart SP | SD
Padres' Kyle Hart: Heads back to minors
The Padres optioned Hart to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Sunday.
Hart will cede his spot on the 28-man active roster to lefty JP Sears, who was recalled from El Paso to start Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Diamondbacks. Over 20 appearances (six starts) for the Padres on the season, Hart went 3-3 with a 5.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB in 43 innings.

Carlos Rodriguez SP | MIL
Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Sent back down
The Brewers optioned Rodriguez to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Sunday.
Milwaukee needed to open up a pair of roster spots for Trevor Megill (elbow) and DL Hall (oblique) to return from the injured list, and Rodriguez found himself on the wrong side of the cut line. The 23-year-old will look to stay fresh at the Brewers' spring training complex now that the minor-league season is complete. Rodriguez appeared in four games with Milwaukee in 2025, posting a 6.52 ERA and an 11:9 K:BB over 9.2 innings.

Erick Fedde SP | CHW
Brewers' Erick Fedde: DFA'd by Brewers
Milwaukee designated Fedde for assignment Sunday.
Fedde inked a one-year deal with the Brewers in late August, but his run with the team will come to an end ahead of the regular-season finale versus the Reds. The veteran right-hander appeared in seven games with Milwaukee, logging a 3.38 ERA, a 1.12 WHIP and a 7:7 K:BB across 16 innings.

Trevor Megill RP | MIL
Brewers' Trevor Megill: Officially activated
The Brewers reinstated Megill (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.
As expected, Megill will join the 28-man active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Reds. Megill had been sidelined since Aug. 24 due to a right flexor strain, so the Brewers are likely to have him make an appearance in Sunday's contest in order to shake off some rust before the NLDS. Before landing on the shelf, Megill had been serving as the Brewers' closer and posted a 2.54 ERA and 30 saves over 46 innings.

Max Lazar P | PHI
Phillies' Max Lazar: Optioned to FCL
The Phillies optioned Lazar to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Sunday.
Lazar will be the casualty on the 28-man active roster as the Phillies make room for shortstop Trea Turner's (hamstring) return from the injured list. The right-handed reliever has posted a 4.79 ERA and a 26:12 K:BB across 41.1 innings for Philadelphia this season.

Tristan Beck RP | SF
Giants' Tristan Beck: Earns second hold of 2025
Beck picked up a hold in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies, tossing a scoreless inning.
Beck retired all three batters he faced on just seven pitches, five of which were strikes. The right-hander has logged three consecutive scoreless outings, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out three in 4.2 innings during that span. Overall, he owns a 4.69 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB across 55.2 innings in 30 appearances this season.

Edgardo Henriquez SP | LAD
Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Secures first save
Henriquez struck out three in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.
The flamethrowing right-hander kept things tidy with 12 pitches (nine strikes) to retire the side. The Dodgers' bullpen was a bit short for this game, with regular closer Tanner Scott not available after pitching the last two days, and Alex Vesia had already entered the game for the eighth inning. Henriquez has a save, five holds and two blown saves over 22 appearances this season and has maintained a 2.37 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB across 19 innings.

Emilio Pagan RP | CIN
Reds' Emilio Pagan: Secures 32nd save
Pagan earned the save in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Brewers, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Pagan was summoned for the fourth straight day and needed just 13 pitches to close out the ninth. The 34-year-old has now converted saves in three consecutive outings and hasn't allowed a run in his past 10 appearances. For the season, he's 32-for-38 in save chances with a 2.88 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 81:22 K:BB across 68.2 innings.
