Tommy Henry SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Called up ahead of start
Henry was recalled as expected ahead of his start Friday against the Giants.
The rookie lefty has made seven starts this season but has yet to find much success. He owns a 5.50 ERA and 1.53 WHIP, striking out just 15.5 percent of opposing batters while walking 10.6 percent. Tyler Holton was optioned to clear space on the roster.

Luis Ortiz SP | CLE
Pirates' Luis Ortiz: Awarded another start
Ortiz is slated to start Sunday against the Cubs at PNC Park.
After holding the Yankees to two runs (one earned) while striking out five in five innings Tuesday following his promotion from Triple-A Indianapolis, Ortiz will be rewarded with a second straight turn through the rotation. The rookie now owns an 0.84 ERA and 0.84 WHIP through his first two big-league outings and will look to parlay a strong finish to the 2022 season into a spot in the Pirates' Opening Day rotation in 2023.

Tyler Wells RP | TB
Orioles' Tyler Wells: Won't return this season
Wells (shoulder) won't pitch again in 2022, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Wells landed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Friday, but the move was backdated to Sept. 20. The right-hander would have been eligible to pitch during the Orioles' final regular-season game, but he'll be shut down for the remainder of the year. Mike Baumann will take Wells' place in the starting rotation Saturday against Houston while Spenser Watkins pitches out of the bullpen.

Davis Martin SP | CHW
White Sox's Davis Martin: Nabs another start
Martin is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Tigers.
He'll be making his second straight turn through the rotation following his call-up from Triple-A Charlotte on Sept. 17. Martin proceeded to strike out five while allowing one earned run on three hits and one walk over six innings against this same Tigers team. The 25-year-old right-hander, who owns a 3.78 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 50 big-league innings this season, could make for an appealing streaming option in a rematch with the weak Detroit offense.

Zack Greinke SP | KC
Royals' Zack Greinke: Likely starting Tuesday
Greinke will likely start Tuesday's road matchup against the Tigers, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Greinke allowed four runs on 10 hits and no walks while striking out three in 5.1 innings Tuesday against the Twins and will get a few extra days of rest prior to his next start. Max Castillo is expected to be called up from Triple-A Omaha to start Sunday's game against the Mariners at home.

Patrick Corbin SP | TOR
Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Plays catch Friday
Corbin (back) played catch from 90 feet Friday and is beginning to feel better, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Corbin was forced to leave Tuesday's game against Atlanta early due to back spasms. If he continues to feel better once he throws again Saturday, he could rejoin the rotation and avoid spending time on the injured list.

MacKenzie Gore SP | TEX
Nationals' MacKenzie Gore: Another rehab start coming Monday
Gore (elbow) will make another rehab start for Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Gore has made three rehab starts already in Triple-A while dealing with inflammation in his elbow, allowing just one run over 8.1 innings of work. Monday looks to be his longest outing yet -- up to five innings. Assuming this would be his final start in the minors, he would still be able to make his Nationals debut before the end of the season.
-
Freddy Peralta SP | TB
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Returning Sunday in Cincy
Peralta (shoulder) will start Sunday's game against the Reds, Will Aldrich of MLB.com reports.
He last threw two innings Sept. 8 and has been throwing off the mound for only a few days, so Peralta may not go deep enough to qualify for the win. If he stays on turn, he will line up for a final start next weekend at home against the Marlins.
-
Eric Lauer SP | LAD
Brewers' Eric Lauer: Activated prior to start
Lauer (elbow) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list prior to Friday's start against the Reds.
Although Lauer is back in action after spending the minimum of 15 days on the injured list, he's expected to be on a pitch count during Friday's start. The southpaw struggled during his final start prior to landing on the IL, allowing seven runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four in 2.2 innings at Coors Field on Sept. 7.
-
Braxton Garrett RP | CHC
Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Starting Friday
Garrett will start Friday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday and will step into the rotation for Trevor Rogers (lat). Garrett has a 3.68 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 75:19 K:BB across 73.1 innings this year and could make up to three starts, including Friday, down the stretch for Miami.
