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 SP | 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.

Joe Jimenez RP | ATL
Braves' Joe Jimenez: Won't pitch in 2025
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Aug. 14 that Jimenez (knee) won't return from the 60-day injured list this season, MLB.com reports.
Jimenez will wind up missing the entire 2025 season after he underwent surgery last November to address cartilage damage in his left knee. The reliever initially appeared on track to join Atlanta at some point in the second half after he resumed throwing off a mound in early July, but he experienced a setback with his knee about a month ago that resulted in him getting shut down from throwing. Jimenez will turn his focus to getting healthy for spring training as he heads into the final season of his three-year, $26 million deal in 2026.

Porter Hodge SP | CHC
Cubs' Porter Hodge: Allows run in return
Hodge allowed a run on two hits and two walks across an inning of relief in Sunday's loss to the Rockies. He struck out two.
Hodge was recalled from Triple-A Iowa before the game and was making his first MLB appearance since July 8. The righty was a bit fortunate he didn't allow more than the one run, as he walked two batters in an appearance for just the second time this year at the MLB level. After a strong rookie campaign in 2024, Hodge has struggled this season with a 6.93 ERA and 1.66 WHIP across 24.2 innings for the Cubs. With Daniel Palencia emerging as Chicago's closer, Hodge is mostly off the fantasy radar at this point.

Declan Cronin RP | TEX
Marlins' Declan Cronin: Lands on IL at Triple-A
Triple-A Jacksonville placed Cronin on the 7-day injured list Aug. 17 due to an undisclosed injury.
Cronin made 56 appearances out of the Miami bullpen in 2024, but he's pitched exclusively in the minors this season. Before getting shut down at Triple-A, Cronin had submitted a 4.91 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 21:16 K:BB in 22 innings.
