    Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Doesn't have it in loss

    Ginkel (9-1) was tagged with a blown save and the loss against the Yankees on Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks. He struck out one.

    Ginkel, who had thrown 28 pitches the day before, entered to begin the eighth inning with Arizona clinging to a 4-3 lead. That's normal terrain for Ginkel, who worked the same inning Sunday and has emerged as a reliable setup arm during the second half. Unfortunately for the Diamondbacks and their playoff hunt, he didn't have it Monday. The Yankees loaded the bases on two singles and a walk with one out, before Ginkel walked in the tying run and then allowed the winning run on a sacrifice fly. An additional run was charged to him when Everson Pereira greeted Miguel Castro with a single. Ginkel had not allowed a run in eight consecutive outings and sported a 1.82 ERA since the All-Star break entering Monday.

  • Marlins' Enmanuel De Jesus: Returns to big leagues

    De Jesus was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Isaac Azout of SBNation.com reports.

    De Jesus has appeared in one contest for the Marlins this season, surrendering three runs on two hits and two walks while fanning three over 4.1 innings Sept. 9 against the Phillies. Jeff Lindgren was optioned in a corresponding move.

  • Sean Hjelle RP | SF

    Giants' Sean Hjelle: Back in big leagues

    Hjelle was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

    Hjelle was added to the active roster to replace Luke Jackson, who was placed on the paternity list prior to Monday's game against San Diego. Hjelle has appeared in one contest for the Giants in September, allowing two hits and striking out one across 1.1 scoreless frames.

  • Luke Jackson RP | SEA

    Giants' Luke Jackson: Heads to paternity list

    Jackson will be away from the team for the next few days for the birth of his child. Sean Hjelle was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

  • Erich Uelmen RP | PHI

    Phillies' Erich Uelmen: Finishes season healthy at Triple-A

    Uelmen (undisclosed) was reinstated from Triple-A Lehigh Valley's 60-day injured list and made his final appearance of the season Sept. 19, striking out three while allowing one run on two hits and one walk over one inning.

    Uelmen had been stuck on Lehigh Valley's IL since early June with the unspecified injury, but after completing a rehab assignment earlier this month, he received the green light to return to the Triple-A bullpen for the final week of the season. Though Lehigh Valley's season is over, Uelmen retains a spot on the Phillies' 40-man roster and could theoretically get called up to the big club over the final week of the season if Philadelphia has a need for an extra relief arm.

  • Daniel Hudson RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Won't return before NLCS

    Hudson (knee) is slated to throw live batting practice during the Dodgers' upcoming road trip and could return to game action if the team advances to the NLCS, per the Associated Press.

    Hudson has been out with a sprained MCL in his right knee since July 5 and has pitched in just three major-league games this season. He only recently resumed throwing to live hitters, so he still has a ways to go until he could potentially be ready for game action. The Dodgers have already wrapped up a spot in the NLDS, but Hudson won't be ready to return for that series. Should Los Angeles advance past that round, however, the veteran reliever could be added to the roster for the NLCS, which begins Oct. 16.

  • Anthony Kay RP | CHW

    Mets' Anthony Kay: Summoned to majors

    Kay was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

    Kay was claimed off waivers from the Cubs earlier this month as he returned to his original organization. He tossed 1.2 scoreless frames with two strikeouts in a relief appearance versus the Phillies on Sunday.

  • Miguel Castro RP | CHW

    Diamondbacks' Miguel Castro: Back from paternity list

    The Diamondbacks reinstated Castro (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

    Arizona optioned right-hander Slade Cecconi to Triple-A Reno to clear room on the 28-man active roster for Castro, who spent the maximum three days away from the team following the birth of his child. Castro, who has posted a 1.64 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over his last 14 appearances, should step back into a middle relief or setup role for the final week of the regular season.
