MLB Player News

Radke was released by the Padres on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The 27-year-old was added to the Friars' 60-player pool in early August, but he was unable to earn a major-league opportunity. Radke had a 2.97 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 30.1 innings at Triple-A last season.

Milner (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Milner has been sidelined with right back spasms since Aug. 26, but he'll return to action after spending just over the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. The southpaw has been effective as a low-leverage reliever this season as he carries a 3.86 ERA and 0.71 WHIP over seven innings.

De Leon was recalled by the Reds on Tuesday.

De Leon has had a disastrous time in his three outings this season, allowing 12 runs in four innings while walking eight batters. His career ERA now sits at 9.11, though that comes in a small sample of just 27.2 innings.

Yamamoto was recalled by the Marlins on Tuesday.

Yamamoto was optioned to the Marlins' alternate training site following a rough start in the middle of August, but he'll return to the major-league pitching staff. It's unclear when he'll make his first appearance, but the Marlins are scheduled to play four doubleheaders over the next two weeks, so he may very well be needed as a starter. The right-hander has struggled to an 11.42 ERA and 2.42 WHIP over 8.2 innings so far this season.

Giles (forearm) threw a live batting practice session that went well Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Giles' throwing session marked the third time that he threw a live batting practice session over the past week, and he appeared to feel good after each one. The right-hander is eligible to return from the 45-day injured list as soon as Thursday and could do so if he continues to feel good in the coming days.

Trivino fired a clean ninth inning to close out a 6-0 win over the Astros on Monday.

The right-hander isn't really being utilized in too many high-leverage scenarios, but manager Bob Melvin has seemingly gotten the previously struggling right-hander back on track with the way he's deployed him. Factoring in Monday's outing, the 28-year-old now has eight straight scoreless appearances; he increasingly looks like a markedly different pitcher than the one who posted a 5.25 ERA and 1.53 WHIP last season, and that started the 2020 campaign with a 9.00 ERA across his first four appearances.

Burdi was optioned to the White Sox's alternate training site Tuesday.

Burdi made his big-league debut in early August but did not find much success in his first 7.1 career innings, allowing nine earned runs while struggling to a 1.91 WHIP. He'll make way for Gio Gonzalez (groin), who returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Sborz was recalled by the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Sborz has spent a pair of brief periods on the big-league roster this season but has made just a single appearance. Joc Pederson was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move.

Cleavinger was recalled to serve as the Phillies' 29th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against Boston, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

If Cleavinger gets into either game, it will be not only his big-league debut but also his first appearance above the Double-A level. The 26-year-old lefty recorded a 3.66 ERA in 51.2 innings at that level for Reading last season, striking out 36.4 percent of opposing batters but walking 14.9 percent.

Ponce de Leon was called up to serve as the 29th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Ponce de Leon is expected to start the nightcap. He's struggled in four starts and one relief appearance this season, posting a 7.82 ERA and 1.89 WHIP in 12.2 innings. He's walked far too many batters, recording a 21.9 percent walk rate.
