The Marlins transferred Nardi (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.

Nardi was initially deactivated Aug. 24, so his move to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the rest of the season. The 26-year-old southpaw will close the book on 2024 with a 5.07 ERA and 1.25 WHIP alongside a 70:18 K:BB across 49.2 innings.

The Marlins placed Faucher on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement.

Faucher has been one of the most reliable members of Miami's bullpen this season, posting a 3.19 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 53.2 innings while picking up six saves and 11 holds. Now that he's set to miss roughly two weeks, it's unclear who Miami will turn to in high-leverage situations, though Anthony Bender, John McMillon and Jesus Tinoco would seem to be the most likely candidates for ninth-inning work.

The Phillies claimed Cuas off waivers from Toronto and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Cuas was DFA'd by the Blue Jays on Thursday after allowing three runs in three innings spanning four appearances. The 30-year-old will get a fresh start with the Phillies, though he'll start out in the minors at Lehigh Valley.

The Marlins selected Bermudez's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Just four days after being sent outright to Jacksonville, Bermudez will now rejoin the active roster to give the Marlins an additional bullpen arm capable of handling multiple innings. The 28-year-old southpaw allowed two earned runs in 3.2 innings during his MLB debut Aug. 27 and will presumably be used in long relief again while with the Marlins. Austin Kitchen was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Marlins recalled Bachar from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Bachar was sent to Triple-A after being claimed off waivers from San Diego on Tuesday, and he'll now join the big-league squad after just four days with his new organization. The 29-year-old righty owns a 3.86 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 74.2 innings in the minors this season, and he'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

The Marlins recalled Soriano from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Soriano owns a 6.26 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 23 innings in the majors this season, but he'll be promoted nonetheless to give the Fish another fresh arm to use out of the bullpen. He'll most likely be used in low-leverage situations while with Miami.

The Marlins reinstated Bender (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Bender has been on the shelf since mid-August due to a right shoulder impingement, but he's been cleared to return to Miami's bullpen after allowing one run in three innings during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 29-year-old holds a 4.00 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 45 innings in the majors, though a lack of depth in the Marlins' bullpen has allowed him to work in several high-leverage situations.

The Cardinals optioned Leahy to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Leahy has turned in a 4.30 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 14.2 innings since being recalled from the minors in late-July, though he'll now be sent back to Triple-A after giving up three runs over 1.1 frames during Friday's loss. Chris Roycroft was recalled from Memphis in a corresponding move.

The Cardinals recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Since being optioned to Triple-A at the end of July, Roycroft has turned in a 2.60 ERA and 1.50 WHIP alongside a 19:6 K:BB through 17.1 innings. He'll now rejoin the Cardinals' bullpen to provide the big squad with a fresh arm, replacing Kyle Leahy.

Vodnik (bicep) began a rehab assignment with Double-A Hartford on Friday and struck out two batters over one inning.

Vodnik has been on the injured list since Aug. 21 with right bicep inflammation, but he was cleared to embark on the rehab assignment after he completed a bullpen session earlier this week without issue. Prior to Vodnik joining up with Hartford, manager Bud Black told MLB.com that the right-hander "could return quickly" if his rehab assignment goes well. Considering how well Vodnik pitched Friday, it wouldn't be surprising if he was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee after getting a day of rest Saturday.
