Wikelman Gonzalez SP | CHW
White Sox's Wikelman Gonzalez: Placed on 15-day IL
The White Sox placed Gonzalez on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right elbow impingement.
Gonzalez got his first taste of the big leagues this season and appeared in 16 games out of Chicago's bullpen, registering a 2.66 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 20.1 innings of work. The 23-year-old should be apart of the team's bullpen in 2026.

Padres' Ron Marinaccio: Demoted Wednesday
The Padres optioned Marinaccio to the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.

Padres' David Morgan: Reinstated from injured list

Jose Ferrer RP | SEA
Nationals' Jose Ferrer: Picks up 10th save
Ferrer earned the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Atlanta, allowing a run on two hits while striking out two in the ninth inning.
Ferrer gave up a leadoff homer to Eli White in the ninth before bearing down to pick up his 10th save this year. The left-hander has been struggling of late, giving up six runs on nine hits in his last four appearances (five innings), though he appears to still have a grasp on the ninth-inning job. Overall, Ferrer's posted a 4.36 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP and 68 strikeouts across 74.1 innings this season.

Carlos Rodriguez SP | MIL
Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Recalled from Triple-A
The Brewers recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Rodriguez has been knocked around in three relief outings with the Brewers this season, allowing seven runs with a 6:7 K:BB over 7.2 frames. With Chad Patrick slated for a relatively abbreviated start Wednesday in San Diego, Rodriguez will provide some necessary length out of the bullpen.

Bruce Zimmermann SP | MIL
Brewers' Bruce Zimmermann: DFA'd after spot start
The Brewers designated Zimmermann for assignment Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Zimmermann made a spot start Tuesday in San Diego, yielding six runs (five earned) over six innings of work. He'll be replaced on the active roster by Carlos Rodriguez, who will give the Brewers' bullpen some length.

Aroldis Chapman RP | BOS
Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Locks down 32nd save
Chapman worked a perfect ninth inning Tuesday without striking out a batter to record his 32nd save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.
The veteran southpaw hasn't blown a save since July 23, converting 15 straight chances while delivering a 0.90 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB over his last 20 innings. Statistically, Chapman has put together the best season of his career at age 37, with his ERA (1.19) and WHIP (0.70) over 60.1 innings both being personal bests.

Ian Seymour P | TB
Rays' Ian Seymour: Four innings in relief
Seymour allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two across four innings Tuesday against the Orioles.
Ryan Pepiot was chased from the game after only three innings, with Seymour throwing the final four frames. Seymour wasn't particularly effective and allowed more than two earned runs for the first time in his last five outings. He also needed 89 pitches to record his 12 outs. Per Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun, Seymour is likely to draw one more start this season, with Sunday against the Blue Jays being the only realistic possibility.

Jake Woodford RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Jake Woodford: Sent outright to Triple-A
The Diamondbacks outrighted Woodford to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.
Woodford passed through waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster. He has the ability to decline the outright assignment and become a free agent, but it's unclear what the right-hander's plans are. Woodford has collected a 6.44 ERA and 23:13 K:BB over 36.1 frames in the majors this season.

Edwin Diaz RP | LAD
Mets' Edwin Diaz: Converts six-out save
Diaz locked down his 27th save of the season in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Cubs, tossing two perfect innings while striking out five.
Despite it being his third appearance in four days, Diaz was dominant in what was a massive moment for the Mets' playoff hopes. He had no issues with the top of the Cubs lineup in the eighth before striking out the side in the ninth against the heart of the order. Diaz struck out five in an appearance for the first time since June 12, 2022, and Tuesday was his third time this season completing two innings. A lot will be asked of Diaz in this final week of the season with the Mets controlling their own destiny for the final National league wild-card spot.
