Bradish was diagnosed with a sports hernia Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The Orioles placed Bradish on the injured list Sunday with an abdominal issue, ruling him out for the rest of the regular season. Manager Craig Albernaz said Wednesday that the 30-year-old righty is exploring all of his options, but now that he's officially dealing with a hernia, he likely won't be available to pitch in the postseason if the Orioles secure a wild-card spot.

Sale will make his next scheduled start Wednesday against the Reds, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The veteran southpaw was originally slated to start during the weekend series against the Astros. Instead, Atlanta will go with Tyler Mahle on Friday, Grant Holmes on Saturday and Martin Perez on Sunday, per Jesus Cano of The Athletic. Sale has logged a quality start in each of his last nine outings, posting a 5-3 record with a 2.14 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 73:6 K:BB over 59 innings in that span.

The Rockies reinstated Sullivan (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Sullivan landed on the 15-day injured list in early July due to left shoulder impingement, and he wasn't cleared to embark on a rehab assignment until Sept. 10. There's not enough space for him in the Rockies' rotation, so he'll stick around in Triple-A, where he has a 5.71 ERA and 1.55 WHIP across 58.1 innings.

The Dodgers activated Bubic (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Bubic hasn't pitched in the majors since mid-May when he was in the Royals' rotation. The Dodgers will deploy him as a reliever after he tossed 5.2 shutout frames with a 9:2 K:BB in six rehab appearances. Bubic is coming back from elbow and shoulder woes.

Harrison will start Thursday's game in Pittsburgh, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Harrison's last appearance came in relief last week, and he was charged with four runs without recording an out against the Reds. In his last five starts, the left-hander has logged a 6.95 ERA, 2.23 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB over 22 innings. Given those struggles, Harrison will not be guaranteed any more starts beyond Thursday.

The Mets placed Stock on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with numbness in his fingers.

Stock had been slated to start Wednesday's game versus the Orioles, but instead his season is over. The 36-year-old will finish the season with a 5.93 ERA and 29:15 K:BB over 30.1 innings covering seven starts and one relief appearance for the Mets. Xzavion Curry will start Wednesday in Stock's place.

Bieber's (shoulder) bullpen session has been pushed back again to either Friday or Saturday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Bieber was initially slated to throw off the mound Tuesday, but that got pushed back to Wednesday and now his bullpen session has been delayed again. The right-hander did throw on flat ground Tuesday, and he's still aiming to return before the curtains close on the regular season. Bieber hasn't pitched since Aug. 20 due to right shoulder inflammation, so even if he does return next week his workload would be relatively limited.

Yesavage (knee) will throw a bullpen session this weekend and is on track to be activated from the 15-day injured list either Sunday or Monday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Yesavage didn't fare well in a rehab appearance Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk over just two-thirds of an inning. However, the Blue Jays are fighting for a wild car spot, so they don't have the luxury of giving Yesavage more time to get sharp. Yesavage could start Sunday against the Rangers or Monday versus the Orioles, but he'll be very limited from a workload perspective.

The Diamondbacks activated Nelson (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Nelson was sidelined for the past three months with a right elbow strain, but he's finally been cleared to return after yielding two runs with a 4:0 K:BB over 2.2 innings in two rehab outings with Triple-A Reno. The 28-year-old will be utilized in a relief role down the stretch for the Diamondbacks.

Lagrange (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Lagrange has been sidelined for more than two months as he works his way back from a right shoulder sprain. The hard-throwing righty was moved to the bullpen at SWB in early June and posted a 5.02 ERA and 20:8 K:BB over 14.1 innings in a relief role. Lagrange is not expected to be a candidate to pitch for the Yankees this season, but perhaps he could change minds if he looks good in the coming days at the team's top minor-league affiliate.
