Craig Yoho RP | MIL
Brewers' Craig Yoho: Back in majors
The Brewers recalled Yoho from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Yoho came into the season as one of baseball's top reliever prospects, but his control has deserted him in the majors. He has an 8.22 ERA and 9:5 BB:K in 7.2 innings across three separate stints with the Brewers in 2025. Yoho has been as advertised at Triple-A, however, logging a 1.04 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 55 strikeouts and seven saves in 43.1 innings across 39 appearances. Yoho should work in low-leverage situations as he rejoins Milwaukee, at least initially.

Tim Mayza RP | PHI
Phillies' Tim Mayza: Activated Monday
The Phillies activated Mayza (lat) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
The Phillies claimed Mayza off waivers from the Pirates on Sunday while he was nearing the end of his rehab assignment, and he'll be activated Monday as Philadelphia's active roster expands to 28 men. Mayza had a 1.93 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and six strikeouts in 4.2 innings on his rehab assignment and he should operate in low-leverage situations down the stretch.

Brandon Waddell RP | NYM
Mets' Brandon Waddell: Saves bullpen Sunday
Waddell gave up three hits and two walks over 4.1 scoreless relief innings in Sunday's loss to the Marlins. He struck out four.
Called back up to the majors earlier in the day, Waddell took over from a struggling Kodai Senga in the fifth inning and gave the rest of the Mets' bullpen the day off, tossing 58 pitches (41 strikes) to go the rest of the way in a 5-1 loss. That workload might result in him getting bumped back to Triple-A Syracuse in favor of a fresh arm, but with the team's rotation in general struggling in August, Waddell could end up being a key figure in any September playoff push. The southpaw's worked at least three innings in five of his last six big-league appearances dating back to June 28, posting a 3.66 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB in 19.2 innings during those outings.

Chris Roycroft RP | STL
Cardinals' Chris Roycroft: Back in big-league bullpen
The Cardinals recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis on Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Roycroft has been shuttled back and forth between Memphis and St. Louis numerous times this season, though he'll be returning to the big leagues for the first time since June. The big righty holds a 6.92 ERA and 9:9 K:BB over 13 innings for St. Louis in 2025.

Tyler Zuber RP | MIA
Marlins' Tyler Zuber: Moved to 60-day IL
The Marlins transferred Zuber (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
Miami placed Zuber on the 15-day IL on Saturday after he was diagnosed with a right lat strain, and his move to the 60-day IL two days later confirms that he won't pitch again in 2025. The Marlins called up right-hander Luarbert Arias from Triple-A Jacksonville to replace Zuber on the 40-man roster.

Michael Petersen P | MIA
Marlins' Michael Petersen: Summoned from Triple-A
The Marlins recalled Petersen from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
Petersen was acquired from Atlanta in exchange for cash back in July. The 31-year-old right-hander has appeared in 12 games (one start) for Jacksonville since the trade, registering a 6.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB across 12 innings. He'll likely be ticketed for low-leverage work out of the Miami bullpen.

Anthony Bender RP | MIA
Marlins' Anthony Bender: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Marlins transferred Bender (tibia) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
Bender had already been ruled out for the season after being diagnosed Aug. 19 with a right tibial stress reaction, so his move to the 60-day IL merely opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for one of the Marlins' three September call-ups. Before getting shut down with the injury, Bender appeared in 51 games out of the Miami bullpen and logged a 2.16 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB while collecting three wins, four saves and 19 holds in 50 innings.

Rolddy Munoz RP | ATL
Braves' Rolddy Munoz: Joins big-league bullpen
Atlanta recalled Munoz from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Munoz was added to the 40-man roster over the winter, but he'll be getting his first big-league promotion. The 25-year-old has split this season between Double-A Columbus and Gwinnett, posting a 2.75 ERA and 51:31 K:BB over 55.2 frames.

Lake Bachar P | MIA
Marlins' Lake Bachar: Serving as opener Monday
Bachar will serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Bachar has tossed more than three innings in any of his 46 appearances between the majors and minors this season and hasn't covered more than two frames since the All-Star break, so he'll likely be in line to face just a handful of batters before exiting his first career MLB start. The Marlins are likely to treat Monday's contest as a bullpen day and will rely on a cadre of relievers to fill innings once Bachar is removed from the game.

Justin Hagenman P | NYM
Mets' Justin Hagenman: Moves up from Triple-A
The Mets recalled Hagenman from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.
Hagenman will provide the New York bullpen with another right-handed option who's capable of covering multiple innings, but his usage will likely be limited to lower-leverage spots. Through seven appearances (one start) with the Mets this season, Hagenman has submitted a 3.26 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 20:2 K:BB over 19.1 innings.
