Phillies' Grant Holman: Back in majors
The Phillies recalled Holman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Holman was sent down to Triple-A on Sunday, but he'll reverse course and rejoin Philadelphia's bullpen as Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) moves to the injured list. Holman gave up five unearned runs while recording one out during his season debut Saturday and will likely be reserved for low-leverage situations.

Rays' Tyler Wells: Shelved by forearm tightness
The Rays placed Wells on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right forearm tightness.
It's a big blow to the Rays' bullpen, as Wells has been lights out since landing in Tampa Bay at the trade deadline, logging a 1.50 ERA and 19:5 K:BB over 18 innings. He will not be eligible to return before the end of the regular season, but Wells expects to be active for the postseason after imaging came back negative, per Ryan Bass of Rays.tv.

Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA
Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Nerve issues resurface
Fairbanks' removal from Monday's appearance in Arizona was due to a recurrence of medial nerve irritation in his pitching hand, Jesse Borek of MLB.com reports.
Making his second appearance since coming off the injured list, Fairbanks threw only six pitches Monday before exiting. Fairbanks has required two different trips to the 15-day injured list this season with his nerve problem, and if he needs a third, it would end his season. More should be known about Fairbanks' condition prior to Tuesday's contest against the Diamondbacks. If Fairbanks is shelved, Calvin Faucher and Michael Petersen are among the candidates to fill the Marlins' closer role.

Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Pitching in Arizona Fall League
Rodriguez (elbow) will pitch in the Arizona Fall League, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Rodriguez is coming up on the one-year anniversary of his Tommy John surgery, and he's nearly ready to try things out in a game setting again. The Giants anticipate the hard-throwing reliever to be ready to go for spring training, and Rodriguez could be in the mix to close games in 2027 if he regains his pre-surgery form.

Grant Anderson RP | MIL
Brewers' Grant Anderson: Sent out on rehab assignment
Anderson (biceps) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Anderson went down with right biceps inflammation just last week, so it's a good sign that he's already been cleared to pitch in games again. The right-handed reliever is eligible for activation in one week and is tracking toward being ready at that time.

Rays' Garrett Cleavinger: Playing catch, but no timetable
Cleavinger (forearm) has resumed playing catch but still doesn't have a timetable for a return from the 15-day injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Cleavinger landed on the IL in early September with left forearm tightness. A timeline for the reliever's return won't come into focus until he's throwing off the mound, and it's unclear when he'll be cleared for that. Cleavinger has logged a 4.79 ERA and 54:22 K:BB over 41.1 frames in 2026.

Chris Murphy RP | CHW
White Sox's Chris Murphy: Serving as opener Tuesday
Murphy will be used as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Tuesday's contest in Cleveland, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Murphy will work the first inning or two before Davis Martin likely takes over in bulk relief. The left-handed Murphy has tossed two scoreless frames with a 5:0 K:BB in his two outings since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte last week.
