The Angels recalled Ingram from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Ingram has given up five runs over 4.1 innings with the Angels this year, and he'll give the Angels some bullpen depth to close the season as Patrick Sandoval (oblique) heads to the injured list. Ingram logged a 2.95 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 61 innings between Double-A and Triple-A in 2023.

The Marlins reinstated Brazoban (hamstring/hip) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Brazoban has been on the injured list since Aug. 14 due to a strained left hamstring and also was battling a left hip impingement. He gave up three runs over 2.2 innings during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville and will serve as a bullpen depth piece as Miami fights for a playoff spot. Tanner Scott was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move.

The Marlins placed Scott on the paternity list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The Marlins will be without their primary closer for up to three days as Scott spends time with his expanding family. Huascar Brazoban (hamstring) was reinstated from the injured list to take Scott's roster spot.

Stewart (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.comreports.

The right-hander has been sidelined by elbow tendinitis since late June but is ready to rejoin the Twins for home stretch of the regular season. Stewart posted a 0.70 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings prior to the injury, but he may need to pitch well in his appearances this week in order to crack Minnesota's playoff roster.

Thompson will start Wednesday's game at Milwaukee, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Thompson had been lined up to work Tuesday's series opener versus the Brewers, but Miles Mikolas will now get that nod so that he can also potentially handle Sunday's season finale against the Reds back at Busch Stadium. Thompson, 25, has registered an overall 4.57 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 67:24 K:BB in 61 innings (eight starts, 16 relief appearances) this year with St. Louis.

Alzolay (forearm) is set to advance to facing live hitters this week, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Alzolay already has a few successful bullpen sessions under his belt and is ready to take the next step in his recovery from the mild right forearm strain that has kept him sidelined since Sept. 10. He still has an outside shot of being able to return before the end of the regular season, though the clock is ticking. Julian Merryweather has been drawing the majority of the save chances for the wild-card-hunting Cubs.

The Brewers placed Megill on the paternity list Tuesday.

Megill will miss at least part of Milwaukee's three-game series against the visiting Cardinals as he welcomes a new addition to his growing family. Colin Rea has been summoned from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding roster move.

Bautista (elbow) threw a 25-pitch simulated game Tuesday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde had revealed previously that Bautista would be throwing, and now we know he faced hitters for the first time since he was diagnosed with a partially torn UCL in his right elbow a month ago. The 28-year-old threw fastballs and off-speed pitches in the session and appeared to come out of it with no issues. According to Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore, Hyde also acknowledged the clock is ticking for Bautista to be activated before the end of the season, and the right-hander may need to see game action soon if that's to come to fruition.

Pearson was optioned to the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jay Jackson is taking his spot in the bullpen. Triple-A Buffalo's season is over, which is why Pearson was sent to the FCL Blue Jays, where he can continue working out in case he's needed later on.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jackson boasts a 2.36 ERA and 25:8 K:BB over 26.2 innings this season but has found himself being sent back and forth between the majors and minors simply because he has options. He'll work in middle relief for the Blue Jays.
