Carson Ragsdale RP | BAL
Orioles' Carson Ragsdale: Joins active roster
The Orioles recalled Ragsdale from the Florida Complex League on Saturday.
After being claimed off waivers from Atlanta on Thursday, Ragsdale will now rejoin the Orioles to give the big club an extra reliever for the final two games of the regular season. The 27-year-old has only one MLB appearance under his belt, during which he coughed up eight earned runs over three innings.

Giants' Joel Peguero: Earns third hold of 2025
Peguero picked up a hold in Friday's 6-3 victory over the Rockies, allowing one hit while striking out one across a scoreless inning.
Peguero entered the game in the eighth and gave up just one single, throwing eight of his 14 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has logged three consecutive scoreless outings, surrendering one hit while striking out four across three innings during that span. Overall, he owns a 2.53 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB across 21.1 innings in 16 games this season.

Tyler Gilbert RP | CHW
White Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Serving as opener Saturday
Gilbert will serve as Chicago's opening pitcher in Saturday's game against the Nationals, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Gilbert will draw his second opening assignment of the month and fifth of the season during the White Sox's penultimate game of 2025. The 31-year-old has given up just one earned run while striking out 13 batters over 8.1 innings this month, and he'll likely remain in the game for an inning or two before handing the ball over to Sean Burke, who is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

Tanner Scott RP | LAD
Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Notches 23rd save
Scott gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 23rd save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Mariners. He struck out two.
The left-hander has looked a little more stable over the last couple weeks, giving up runs in only one of his last seven appearances. Scott has still blown three of seven save chances since returning from elbow inflammation in late August, however, stumbling to a 7.15 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB in 11.1 innings over that span. The Dodgers have plenty of other high-leverage relief options if those struggles resurface in the playoffs, including Roki Sasaki, who struck out two in a scoreless seventh inning Friday to collect his second hold and topped out at 100.1 mph with his fastball.

Grant Wolfram P | BAL
Orioles' Grant Wolfram: Back in majors
The Orioles recalled Wolfram from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Wolfram will rejoin the Orioles for the final two games of the regular season to replace Dietrich Enns (paternity). Wolfram, 28, has posted a 4.85 ERA and 1.77 WHIP through 26 innings with the O's this year and will likely be limited to middle-relief duties to close the season.

Dietrich Enns RP | BAL
Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Placed on paternity list
The Orioles placed Enns on the paternity list Saturday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Enns will be permitted to return to the team for Sunday's series finale, though his move to the paternity list will likely spell the end of his 2025 campaign. If so, he'll finish with a 4.08 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 46.1 innings between Detroit and Baltimore. Grant Wolfram was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Kenley Jansen RP | DET
Angels' Kenley Jansen: Collects 29th save
Jansen struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 29th save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Astros.
The veteran closer stuck a dagger in Houston's playoff hopes, firing 16 of 19 pitches for strikes as he fanned Jesus Sanchez, Ramon Urias and Mauricio Dubon. Jansen hasn't blown a save since June 29, converting 14 straight chances since the beginning of July with a 1.19 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB over his last 30.1 innings. Jansen should attract plenty of interest this winter in free agency if he doesn't elect to re-up with the Angels, and he needs only three more saves to pass Hall of Famer Lee Smith for third place on MLB's all-time list.

Emilio Pagan RP | CIN
Reds' Emilio Pagan: Locks down 31st save
Pagan struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 31st save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Brewers.
The veteran reliever helped get the Reds one step closer to the playoffs, firing seven of 12 pitches for strikes and getting two infield pop-ups after fanning William Contreras. Since his last blown save Sept. 1, Pagan has delivered a 0.82 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB over 11 innings while converting five straight save chances.

Mason Miller SP | SD
Padres' Mason Miller: Collects four-out save
Miller walked one and struck out three over 1.1 hitless and scoreless innings to earn the save in Friday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Miller was brought in when Kyle Hart and David Morgan made a mess of the eighth inning, and he was able to get the last out. Miller was already the fifth reliever into the game for the Padres, and they kept him in to finish off the save rather than having Robert Suarez enter the contest. This was Miller's 22nd save of the season but just his second since joining the Padres at the trade deadline. He's pitched to a 0.81 ERA over 22.1 innings while racking up a 42:10 K:BB and 10 holds during his time in San Diego, giving the team an excellent one-two punch at the back end of the bullpen.

Ryan Walker RP | SF
Giants' Ryan Walker: Clean inning for save
Walker struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.
Walker has had some missteps in September, allowing six runs over 7.2 innings while converting five of seven save chances. He caused no drama Friday, retiring the side on a tidy 14 pitches (nine strikes). Walker is up to 17 saves this season while adding a 3.98 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 60:17 K:BB through 61 innings.
