The Padres recalled Canning from the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

Canning was pushed off the active roster Wednesday, but he'll rejoin the Friars' pitching staff as the replacement for Casey Mize (ankle), who landed on the injured list Saturday. Canning carries a 5.57 ERA through 85.2 innings in the majors this season but has been much more effective recently, allowing just one earned run in his last 14.2 frames.

Clarke will serve as the opening pitcher in Saturday's game against the Padres, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Clarke gave up two earned runs in one inning during his last outing Thursday, but the D-backs will send him to the mound to begin Saturday's game as they attempt to sneak into the final wild-card spot in the National League. He'll likely remain on the bump for an inning or two before coming out of the game.

Ralston will start Saturday's game against Atlanta in Miami, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

The 29-year-old rookie right-hander will be making his first MLB start and his first start at any level of the professional ranks since 2022. Between his stops with Miami and Triple-A Jacksonville this season, Ralston hasn't tossed more than three innings, so he's unlikely to work more than once through the batting order Saturday before turning the game over to the Marlins bullpen.

The Cubs claimed Aguiar off waivers from the Reds on Saturday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Aguiar was pushed off the Reds' 40-man roster after giving up two earned runs in three innings with Cincinnati and posting a 6.27 ERA at Triple-A, but he'll reclaim a roster spot upon joining his new organization. The 25-year-old won't be eligible to pitch for Chicago in the postseason, but he could be recalled to help preserve the team's bullpen during the final weekend of the regular season.

Suter is slated to start Saturday's game against the Marlins in what's expected to be a bullpen day, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Suter hasn't recorded more than 11 outs in any of his prior 53 appearances on the campaign, so despite drawing the start Saturday, he's unlikely to pitch deep enough into the contest to qualify for a win. Atlanta hasn't designated a bulk reliever to pitch behind Suter, but Elieser Hernandez hasn't been used since being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday and could be called upon to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen.

Hagenman struck out two and allowed one run on five hits and one walk over four innings of relief in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Nationals.

Called up from Triple-A Syracuse prior to Friday's contest, Hagenman was put to work right away out of the bullpen. The Mets had Jefry Yan cover the first 1.2 innings to open the contest, then two other relievers were called upon to record four outs before Hagenman entered the game in the bottom of the fourth. The right-hander pitched effectively during his time on the mound, but since he entered the contest with a three-run deficit that proved insurmountable for the Mets, he wasn't able to scoop up a win. Given that he tossed 70 pitches Friday, Hagenman is unlikely to be available for the final two games of the season.

The Giants recalled Lonsway from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Lonsway gave up three runs (two earned) over two innings during his MLB debut Aug. 29, but he'll get another opportunity to pitch for the big club as the team beefs up its bullpen depth down the stretch. Yunior Marte was optioned to Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Miles struck out four and allowed two hits and no walks over three scoreless frames in a start during last Sunday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.

Drawing his eighth start of the season, Miles was sharp but was limited to 46 pitches since he's been mostly used in a relief role since the All-Star break. The Blue Jays haven't used Miles since last weekend, but he could be a candidate to pitch multiple innings in bulk relief in one of the team's final two games of the season against the Reds. The Blue Jays have named Trey Yesavage and Max Scherzer as their starters for Saturday and Sunday, respectively, and both are likely to be operating with limited workloads.

The Rangers optioned Collyer to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

Collyer gave up two earned runs in two innings during Friday's contest and will now be pushed out of Texas' bullpen in favor of Robby Ahlstrom, who will give the team another fresh arm to work with.

The Rangers recalled Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

The 27-year-old will provide the Rangers with another fresh bullpen arm to work with, replacing Gavin Collyer. Ahlstrom has recorded a 6.08 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 37 innings with the Rangers this year and will likely be limited to middle-relief duty.
