Jackson got the save in Sunday's 10-3 win against the Brewers, allowing two runs on four hits with three strikeouts in three innings.

Jackson entered in the seventh inning with Los Angeles ahead 10-1 and went the rest of the way to earn the save by virtue of pitching the final three innings of the victory. The 25-year-old rookie saw action in only three big-league games this season, finishing with an 0-1 record, a 2.31 ERA, a 1.37 WHIP and a 10:6 K:BB in 11.2 innings.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Jackson was sent to Triple-A on Sept. 22 but will rejoin the Giants after spending the 10-day minimum in the minors. The 34-year-old has a 3.74 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 21.2 innings this season and has an outside chance at a spot on the postseason roster.

The Giants optioned Long to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

He'll head back to the minors after a two-day stint with the big club, during which he didn't appear in a game. The Giants called up reliever Jay Jackson from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Cousins (biceps) reported to Triple-A Nashville for a rehab appearance Sunday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Cousins is then expected to rejoin the Brewers and continue to face live hitters in hopes of being activated ahead of the NLDS, which begins Friday. The 27-year-old has a 2.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 44:19 K:BB over 30 innings this season, and he could play a significant role in the playoffs with setup man Devin Williams out indefinitely with a fractured hand.

White was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

White was promoted from Triple-A on Saturday and will return there after delivering a scoreless frame in the win over the Brewers. The 26-year-old has been a solid piece for the Dodgers this season with a 3.66 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 49:17 K:BB across 46.2 innings.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Jackson was sent to Triple-A on Sept. 10 and will rejoin the Dodgers ahead of Game 162. The 25-year-old has appeared in only two major-league games this season and has given up one earned run on six hits with a 7:6 K:BB over 8.2 innings.

The Rockies recalled Lawrence from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The righty, after spending a month in the minors, will be available out of the bullpen for the regular-season finale against Arizona.

The Red Sox optioned Bazardo to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Bazardo didn't appear in a game after being recalled last Sunday. A lat injury kept him out for a big chunk of 2021, but he figures to compete for a bullpen spot with the Red Sox next season.

The Rangers optioned Otto to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Otto had a brutal debut season, starting six games and posting a 9.26 ERA in 23.1 innings. Unavailable to pitch Sunday after starting Thursday, he yields his roster spot to Matt Bush.

Maton (6-0) earned the win Saturday against the Athletics by recording one out, allowing one hit and one walk.

Maton recorded his sixth win of the campaign, and while he recorded just one out, he needed 19 pitches to get the job done (12 strikes). If this was his final outing of the campaign, then Maton will end the year with a 4.73 ERA across 66.2 innings in 65 appearances. He has posted an ERA above the 4.00 mark in each of his five big-league seasons.
