  • Landon Knack SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Landon Knack: Following opener

    Knack is set to follow Anthony Banda for Sunday's game in Colorado, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Plunkett notes that this could foreshadow how the Dodgers will use Knack in the postseason. The rookie right-hander has a 5.14 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 23 strikeouts in 21 innings over his last five appearances and will make his final trip to the mound of the regular season in Coors Field.

  • Giants' Trevor McDonald: Summoned to majors

    McDonald was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

    The Giants are short on fresh arms for the final game of the regular season, so McDonald could make his big-league debut in relief of Hayden Birdsong. McDonald, a 23-year-old righty with decent stuff, logged 78.1 innings across High-A, Double-A and Triple-A this season.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Available out of bullpen

    Gallen expects to be available out of the bullpen Sunday against the Padres, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    He did not throw his usual between-start bullpen session over the weekend in case he was needed on the final day of the regular season. Arizona gets into the postseason with a win Sunday and losses by the Mets and Atlanta, so Gallen could end up appearing and qualifying for a win or save in relief of Brandon Pfaadt.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Sent to Triple-A

    Wrobleski was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    He picked up a four-inning save Saturday, so Wrobleski won't be available to pitch for a couple days. The 24-year-old lefty logged a 5.70 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB in 36.1 innings with the big club this season and will retain his prospect eligibility heading into 2025.

  • Matt Waldron SP | SD

    Padres' Matt Waldron: Recalled from Triple-A

    Waldron was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

    Waldron will serve as fresh arm capable of logging multiple innings of relief Sunday following starter Martin Perez. Waldron, who is known best for his knuckleball, logged a 4.79 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 130 strikeouts in 142.2 innings through 26 MLB starts this year.

  • Padres' Randy Vasquez: Sent to Triple-A

    Vasquez was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

    Vasquez had arguably his best start of the season Saturday in Arizona, giving up one hit and one walk while striking out four over six scoreless innings. He'll presumably compete for a rotation spot next spring, but it's not clear if he'll have a role on the Padres' postseason roster. Matt Waldron was recalled in a corresponding move.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Confirmed for Sunday's start

    Feltner (arm) is listed as Sunday's starter against the Dodgers.

    He exited Tuesday's start against the Cardinals due to cramping in his right arm after throwing just one pitch in the seventh inning, but it wasn't serious enough to prevent him from staying on turn for his final start of the season. Feltner will be pitching in Coors Field, where the 28-year-old righty has a 5.53 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 71.2 innings this season.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Picks up four-inning save

    Wrobleski picked up the save over the Rockies on Saturday, allowing two hits and two walks over four scoreless innings while striking out four.

    Wrobleski relieved Yoshinobu Yamamoto to open the sixth inning and went 1-2-3 through the top of Colorado's lineup before allowing each of the first two men to reach in the seventh. However, the southpaw was able to work his way out of the jam without taking any damage and managed to close out the contest for Los Angeles to pick up his first save of the campaign. It was a strong effort for Wrobleski, who was just recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier that day, as he was able to eat up innings and help to provide additional rest for the Dodgers' bullpen ahead of the playoffs.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Roughed up in loss

    Senzatela (0-1) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on six hits and four walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

    Senzatela managed to get through the first inning unscathed before being charged with at least one run in each of the next four frames. The six earned runs allowed marked a season high for Senzatela, who's failed to make it through five innings in two of his three starts on the campaign. He also issued a season-high four walks Saturday and he's now given up multiple free passes in all three of his outings in 2024.

  • Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Earns seventh win

    Yamamoto (7-2) picked up the win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits over five innings while striking out six.

    Yamamoto got knocked around a bit early on, giving up singles to three of the first five men he faced before also surrendering a solo homer to Ezequiel Tovar in the bottom of the third. The right-hander did, however, manage to retire seven consecutive batters from that point on before being relieved by Justin Wrobleski to open the sixth. It marked Yamamoto's longest outing since June 7, while he didn't issue a free pass for the first time in his last three starts. He now carries a 3.38 ERA in September to go along with a robust 21:5 K:BB.
