DeSclafani (thumb) threw 30 pitches during Friday's bullpen session, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

DeSclafani has been on the shelf since mid-August due to right thumb inflammation. He was cleared to face live hitters Tuesday, and the veteran right-hander is poised to return to the Diamondbacks' rotation barring any setbacks. DeSclafani has a 4.36 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB across 33 major-league innings this season.

Hoffmann was pulled from his outing with Triple-A Reno on Thursday due to posterior elbow discomfort, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Hoffmann recorded only one out in Thursday's game and allowed five runs on four hits and one walk. He'll return to Arizona to undergo imaging on his right elbow to determine the severity of the injury. Hoffmann has spent most of the 2025 season in Triple-A but has appeared in 10 major-league games (seven for Arizona, three for Kansas City), posting a 6.55 ERA and 2.00 WHIP across 11 innings.

The Padres recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

With Nestor Cortes (biceps) moving to the injured list, Marinaccio will join the big-league bullpen to provide San Diego with some extra bullpen depth until the team needs a fifth starter. The 30-year-old has tossed 4.2 shutout innings with the Padres this year, though he owns a 5.05 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 46.1 frames in the minors. He'll likely be restricted to middle-relief appearances with the Friars.

The Red Sox placed Hicks on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 4, due to right shoulder tendinitis.

As expected, Hicks will hit the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder injury deemed to be tendinitis. The right-hander has surrendered at least one run in each of his last three appearances, including a four-run outing Wednesday across one-third of an inning. Chris Murphy was recalled from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move.

The Red Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

Murphy will join Boston as the bullpen replacement for Jordan Hicks, who landed on the injured list with a shoulder injury Friday. Murphy has fared well in the bigs this year to the tune of a 3.05 ERA and 1.06 WHIP through 20.2 frames, though he'll most likely be limited to middle-relief work while with the Sox.

Tinoco underwent UCL reconstruction surgery on his right arm Friday, Alex Krutchik of Fish on First reports.

The timeline for Tinoco's recovery is 13-to-14 months, which means the 30-year-old right-hander will miss the entire 2026 season while recovering from his UCL procedure. He's been on the Marlins' injured list since early June and was pulled off his throwing program in mid-August after suffering a setback during his throwing program. He appeared in 20 games out of the bullpen for the Marlins in 2025 and posted a 5.12 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and four saves (on six chances) across 19.1 innings.

The Rangers transferred Gray (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

A shoulder injury sent Gray to the injured list in mid-August, and now that he's on the 60-day IL, he will have to wait until 2026 to take the mound again. The 33-year-old will finish the year with 12 earned runs allowed across just 14 innings out of the bullpen alongside a 12:6 K:BB. He is due to become a free agent this offseason.

The Diamondbacks claimed Rodriguez off waivers from the Orioles on Friday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Rodriguez has been optioned to Triple-A Reno. The Orioles designated Rodriguez for assignment earlier in the week. He's appeared in seven games with the Brewers and Orioles this season, logging a 9.15 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB across 19.2 innings.

The Astros placed Ort on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right elbow inflammation, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Ort was roughed up in Thursday's loss to the Yankees, surrendering four runs on three hits and two walks while recording just two outs. He'll now miss at least the next couple weeks. On the season, Ort has a 4.89 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 49:27 K:BB across 46 innings. Houston's bullpen continues to be hit hard by injuries.

Ashcraft took a no-decision in his start during Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers, striking out four batters while allowing two hits and four walks over three scoreless frames.

After working at least five innings in each of his last three starts, Ashcraft tossed just 71 pitches before being lifted from Wednesday's contest. Ashcraft's early exit looks to have been a pre-planned arrangement; the right-hander has now totaled 103.2 innings between the majors and Triple-A Indianapolis this season, an increase of nearly 30 innings from what he covered during his time in the minors in 2024. The Pirates are also looking to manage the workload of one of their other young starters in Mike Burrows, who was moved to the bullpen last week and ended up tossing three innings in relief of Ashcraft on Wednesday. Though Ashcraft should continue to make starts for the Pirates, it wouldn't be surprising if he was deployed in tandem with Burrows in his future turns through the rotation.
