  • James Outman CF | LAD

    Dodgers' James Outman: Back in majors

    Outman was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    With Kevin Kiermaier (dislocated finger) likely unavailable Sunday, Outman will offer quality defense and lefty power off the bench. Justin Wrobleski was optioned in a corresponding move.

  • Tyler Gilbert RP | PHI

    Phillies' Tyler Gilbert: Sent down Sunday

    Gilbert was optioned to the Phillies' spring training complex Sunday.

    Gilbert logged a 3.24 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and four strikeouts in 8.1 innings across six appearances for the big club. He was unlikely to be used Sunday, so the Phillies opted to summon a bench bat (Buddy Kennedy) for the final game of the regular season.

  • Buddy Kennedy 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Buddy Kennedy: Back in majors

    Kennedy was recalled from the Phillies' spring training complex Sunday.

    He is not in Sunday's lineup against the Nationals, but Kennedy will serve as a capable righty bench bat with Austin Hays (back) banged up. Kennedy, who turns 26 next week, has played sparingly in the majors and slashed .294/.400/.500 with 10 home runs in 300 plate appearances for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

  • 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.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Back in lineup

    Alvarez (back) is starting at catcher and batting eighth for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Alvarez left Friday's game against Milwaukee due to back spasms. That kept him out of Saturday's lineup, though he did manage to pinch hit for Luis Torrens in the top of the eighth inning. Since Sept. 1, Alvarez has slashed .231/.355/.538 with five home runs and 14 RBI over 62 plate appearances.

  • Nick Yorke 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Yorke: Pops second career homer

    Yorke went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Yankees.

    Yorke has started 10 of 12 games since making his big-league debut, and he popped his second career home run Saturday. Yorke also has two steals, though his 28.9 percent strikeout rate is a concern. He should be in consideration for a roster spot to begin the 2025 campaign.

  • 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.

  • Jared Triolo 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Triolo: Tallies ninth homer

    Triolo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Yankees.

    Triolo popped a two-run homer in the sixth inning to bring his total on the season to nine, three of which have come in September. His numbers for the campaign are subpar, though Triolo has managed to maintain a .263 batting average with a .701 OPS, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored across 22 starts in September.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Stays hot with three hits

    Tovar went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Tovar singled in his first trip to the plate before launching a 429-foot solo homer in the bottom of the third inning. The shortstop went on to reach base three times in the contest, tallying at least three hits for the 16th time this season. Tovar has also posted multiple knocks and at least one RBI in each of his last three games, while the long ball was his 26th on the campaign.
