Blake Taylor RP | TEX
Astros' Blake Taylor: Returns from injured list
Taylor (elbow) was activated off the 10-day injured list Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old landed on the injured list with elbow discomfort Sept. 7 and spends little more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Taylor has a 2.12 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 15:11 K:BB with one save and four holds over 17 innings this season.

Wandy Peralta RP | SD
Giants' Wandy Peralta: Dropped from roster
Peralta was optioned to the Giants' alternate training site Friday.
Peralta had been on the big-league roster all season and performed well enough, posting a 3.91 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP in 23 innings of relief work. Whether or not he'll get another opportunity down the stretch remains to be seen. Andrew Suarez was recalled in a corresponding move.

Mitch White RP | MIL
Dodgers' Mitch White: Recalled by Dodgers
White was recalled by the Dodgers on Friday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
White should have a good chance to pitch at some point Friday against the Rockies in what is expected to be a bullpen game. The 25-year-old made his big-league debut back in late August, throwing a single scoreless inning of relief. Josh Sborz was optioned in a corresponding move.

Dakota Hudson SP | LAA
Cardinals' Dakota Hudson: Placed on injured list
Hudson landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right forearm Saturday.
Hudson left Thursday's game with the injury, which was originally called right elbow soreness but has since been diagnosed as a forearm strain following an MRI. With just 10 days left in the season, all injured list placements at this point are season-ending. Hudson will wrap up the year having posted a 2.77 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP in eight starts. Nabil Crismatt was recalled in a corresponding move.

Daniel Castano RP | MIA
Marlins' Daniel Castano: May not start
Castano is listed as the Marlins' starter for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals, but manager Don Mattingly indicated he could pitch in relief in the afternoon game, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Castano should feature at some point in one of Friday's games, though exactly when remains to be seen. If Castano is used in Game 1, expect Robert Dugger to get the call to start Game 2.

Garrett Cleavinger RP | TB
Phillies' Garrett Cleavinger: Dropped from roster
Cleavinger was optioned off the Phillies' roster Friday.
Cleavinger made his big-league debut Thursday but did little more than contribute to the Phillies' ongoing bullpen struggles, allowing a run on two hits while recording just two outs. It's possible he gets another opportunity down the stretch if the Phillies need another lefty in the pen.

Garrett Crochet RP | BOS
White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Contract selected by White Sox
Crochet had his contract selected by the White Sox and was added to the active roster Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
The 21-year-old will join the big-league roster three months after being selected 11th overall during the June draft. Crochet is unlikely to fill a significant role with Chicago headed to the playoffs, but he may be able to make his professional.
