Kyle Finnegan RP | DET
Tigers' Kyle Finnegan: Headed to IL
The Tigers placed Finnegan on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 1, with a right adductor strain, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Finnegan suffered the injury while warming up in the bullpen Wednesday, and he'll require a stint on the injured list. Finnegan hasn't allowed a run since being traded from the Nationals to the Tigers, logging a 19:3 K:BB across 14.1 innings. Tommy Kahnle and Tyler Holton should serve in a setup role for closer Will Vest. Parker Meadows (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The 23-year-old will join the big-league club for the first time since Aug. 24, with Nick Mears (back) headed for the IL. Rodriguez has a 3.86 ERA in 67.2 innings with Nashville, but he's yielded seven runs and a 5:6 K:BB across 6.1 innings with the Brewers.

Brewers' Nick Mears: Placed on IL
The Brewers placed Mears on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 2, due to back tightness.
Mears hasn't pitched since he allowed three runs in one inning against the Phillies on Monday, and it's now known he's been dealing with a back injury. The 28-year-old joins Trevor Megill (elbow), Grant Anderson (ankle) and DL Hall (oblique) as Brewers relievers on the 15-day injured list. Milwaukee recalled Carlos Rodriguez from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

Suero reported to the Mets on Friday.
Suero was claimed off waivers by the Mets from Atlanta on Thursday, and he'll report to the big-league club ahead of Friday's game against Cincinnati. Suero logged a 1.35 ERA and a 59:13 K:BB across 46.2 innings of relief with Atlanta's Triple-A affiliate before being DFA'd earlier this week.

Noah Davis SP | PIT
Twins' Noah Davis: Sent outright to Triple-A
The Twins outrighted Davis to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.
The transaction clears 26-man and 40-man roster spots for the return of Pablo Lopez (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list. Davis has surrendered a whopping 24 runs (22 earned) over 11 innings at the big-league level this season between the Dodgers and Twins.

Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA
Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Serves up two homers
Fairbanks allowed two earned runs on two hits and struck out one across one inning Thursday against the Guardians.
Fairbanks entered the game in the ninth inning with a four-run lead and gave up home runs to the first two batters he faced. He settled in to help the Rays secure the win, but his performance has been a mixed bag lately. Fairbanks has an impressive 23:0 K:BB across his last 16.1 innings, but he's allowed six home runs (3.3 HR/9) in that span.

Ian Seymour P | TB
Rays' Ian Seymour: Working as bulk reliever
Seymour will work as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Grffin Jax in Friday's game against the Guardians, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Seymour worked as a multi-inning reliever to begin his major-league tenure but has made traditional starts in both of his last two appearances. He'll likely take over in the second or third inning of Friday's game once Jax exits the contest and will be the Rays pitcher most likely to factor into any decision. As a traditional starter, Seymour has allowed one earned run with a 16:2 K:BB across 10 innings.
