Kyle Hart SP | SD
Padres' Kyle Hart: Heads back to minors
The Padres optioned Hart to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Sunday.
Hart will cede his spot on the 28-man active roster to lefty JP Sears, who was recalled from El Paso to start Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Diamondbacks. Over 20 appearances (six starts) for the Padres on the season, Hart went 3-3 with a 5.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB in 43 innings.

Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Sent back down
The Brewers optioned Rodriguez to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Sunday.
Milwaukee needed to open up a pair of roster spots for Trevor Megill (elbow) and DL Hall (oblique) to return from the injured list, and Rodriguez found himself on the wrong side of the cut line. The 23-year-old will look to stay fresh at the Brewers' spring training complex now that the minor-league season is complete. Rodriguez appeared in four games with Milwaukee in 2025, posting a 6.52 ERA and an 11:9 K:BB over 9.2 innings.

Ian Seymour P | TB
Rays' Ian Seymour: Drawing start in season finale
Seymour is slated to start Sunday's game in Toronto.
In his most recent appearance Tuesday, Seymour ended up piggybacking starter Ryan Pepiot and covered four innings while allowing three earned runs on four hits and two walks. Seymour will return to a traditional starting role for the season finale and will look to finish the campaign on a high note as he makes a case for a spot in the 2026 rotation. Since being called up from Triple-A Durham on July 31, Seymour has logged a 3.14 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 48:14 K:BB in 43 innings over 11 outings.

Erick Fedde SP | CHW
Brewers' Erick Fedde: DFA'd by Brewers
Milwaukee designated Fedde for assignment Sunday.
Fedde inked a one-year deal with the Brewers in late August, but his run with the team will come to an end ahead of the regular-season finale versus the Reds. The veteran right-hander appeared in seven games with Milwaukee, logging a 3.38 ERA, a 1.12 WHIP and a 7:7 K:BB across 16 innings.

Chris Murphy RP | CHW
Red Sox's Chris Murphy: Optioned down
The Red Sox optioned Murphy to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
Murphy threw three scoreless innings in Saturday's loss to Detroit, bringing his ERA and WHIP down to 3.12 and 1.18, respectively, over 34.2 innings with the big club this season. Jose De Leon was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move and will start the Red Sox's regular-season finale versus the Tigers. Murphy will likely stay active in case he's needed out of the bullpen at some point in the postseason.

Trevor Megill RP | MIL
Brewers' Trevor Megill: Officially activated
The Brewers reinstated Megill (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.
As expected, Megill will join the 28-man active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Reds. Megill had been sidelined since Aug. 24 due to a right flexor strain, so the Brewers are likely to have him make an appearance in Sunday's contest in order to shake off some rust before the NLDS. Before landing on the shelf, Megill had been serving as the Brewers' closer and posted a 2.54 ERA and 30 saves over 46 innings.

Jose De Leon RP | BOS
Red Sox's Jose De Leon: Called up, starting Sunday
The Red Sox selected De Leon's contract from Triple-A Worcester, and he will start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Tigers, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
With the Red Sox locked into a wild-card spot and not in contention for the AL East title, they will give De Leon his first big-league opportunity since 2023. Chris Murphy was optioned in a corresponding move. De Leon put up a 6.93 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 75.1 innings with Worcester this season.

Max Lazar P | PHI
Phillies' Max Lazar: Optioned to FCL
The Phillies optioned Lazar to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Sunday.
Lazar will be the casualty on the 28-man active roster as the Phillies make room for shortstop Trea Turner's (hamstring) return from the injured list. The right-handed reliever has posted a 4.79 ERA and a 26:12 K:BB across 41.1 innings for Philadelphia this season.

Pierson Ohl RP | COL
Twins' Pierson Ohl: Sent down to minors
The Twins optioned Ohl to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
Ohl finished his season with eight scoreless innings spanning his final six appearances, including two scoreless frames during Saturday's win over Philadelphia. The Twins cleared him out to make room for the return of Anthony Misiewicz (pectoral) from the injured list.
