The Marlins selected Anderson's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

The right-hander remained in the organization after being designated for assignment by Miami in August, and he'll now receive another look in the big leagues. Anderson has made five appearances with the Marlins and Rangers this season and has a 9.64 ERA, 2.29 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB over 14 innings.

The Cubs placed Wicks on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right oblique strain, Ryan Herrera of AllCHGO.com reports.

It's the same injury which sidelined Wicks for more than two months before he returned at the beginning of September. He posted a 7.50 ERA and 10:10 K:BB over four starts since his activation, so it's possible the lefty was never fully healthy. Wicks finishes the season having been limited to just 46 innings due to injury, holding a 5.48 ERA and 42:20 K:BB.

McClanahan (elbow) is scheduled to throw live batting practice next Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It will be the left-hander's first time facing hitters since he underwent Tommy John surgery in August of 2023. McClanahan began throwing off a mound last month and expects to have a "completely normal offseason." The 27-year-old should open the 2025 season in the Rays' rotation but is likely to have some workload restrictions in place in his first year back from elbow surgery.

The Nationals activated Williams (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Williams will rejoin the Nationals' rotation Friday with a start against the Cubs after missing nearly four months of action with a right flexor strain. He threw 73 pitches in his most recent rehab start, so Williams should be only slightly limited Friday from a workload perspective. The veteran righty collected a nifty 2.22 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB across 56.2 innings before getting hurt.

Stripling (back) came out of his bullpen session Wednesday feeling good and will thrown another one Saturday, MLB.com reports.

The veteran right-hander was able to throw mostly fastballs while occasionally mixing in each of his offspeed pitches during Wednesday's session, which consisted of 25 pitches overall. If things go smoothly Saturday, Stripling could be activated from the IL when first eligible Tuesday.

Gray said he pitched through some "lingering" soreness during Wednesday's start against the Pirates, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Gray didn't divulge any specifics regarding where he's feeling sore, only saying that he "didn't feel great in general, physically" due to "some lingering things just kind of going on through the week." The righty struck out eight and was charged with four runs over 5.2 innings versus the Pirates in Wednesday's outing. Gray will throw a bullpen session this weekend before it's determined whether he'll make one more start or shut things down. If he does make one final start, it's tentatively lined up to come at Coors Field.

Kikuchi did not factor into the decision in a win over the Angels on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over six innings while striking out nine.

Kikuchi held the Angels' lineup in check after surrendering a leadoff home run to Taylor Ward, allowing just one batter to reach second base from the second inning on. The veteran southpaw induced 14 whiffs on the night while posting at least six strikeouts for the fourth consecutive outing. However, he was unable to come away with his fourth straight win despite his valiant effort. Kikuchi has gone at least six innings in each of his last four outings, logging quality starts in three of them.

Assad did not factor into the decision in a win over the Nationals on Thursday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out five.

The Nationals got to Assad early, tagging the right-hander for one run in the opening frame and two more in the third after he allowed hits to three of the first five batters he faced in the inning. The 27-year-old would still manage to get through five frames for the sixth consecutive outing, though he's now winless over his last three starts. Assad has also posted five strikeouts in each of his last three starts, while Thursday's start marked the first time in his last four outings that he didn't walk multiple batters.

Corbin did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Cubs on Thursday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.1 innings while striking out four.

Corbin struggled against the Cubs' lineup, giving up one run on three singles in the opening frame before coughing up a two-run homer in the third. He was later relieved by Derek Law with one out in the fifth after Corbin allowed the first three batters to reach. The veteran lefty did generate 12 swings and misses on the night, but the outing marked the first time he's failed to make it through five innings since Aug. 16 against the Phillies, a span of five starts. He carries a 6.14 ERA in September through four outings to go along with a strong 23:5 K:BB.

Fedde allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three batters over six innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Fedde surrendered a fourth-inning run but otherwise kept the Pirates off the scoreboard. The right-hander finished with his first quality start since Aug. 25 and just his second over his past 10 outings. Fedde's numbers haven't been overwhelming, but his 3.38 season ERA is on pace to easily be the best of his seven-year career.
