Atlanta selected Falter's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Falter was acquired from the Royals at the trade deadline and allowed just one unearned run with an 11:2 K:BB over 10.2 innings with Gwinnett. The lefty will likely be used in middle relief in Atlanta.

Ryan (hamstring) will start Wednesday at Triple-A Toledo, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

It will be Ryan's organizational debut after he was acquired from the Dodgers in the Tarik Skubal trade last month. The 28-year-old has made just eight starts this season, registering a 4.46 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB across 36.1 innings with Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to being dealt to the Tigers. Ryan figures to be a member of Detroit's rotation next season but could debut with the big club later this month.

Walston (1-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Royals after allowing one unearned run while walking three and striking out two over two innings in relief.

Walston entered for the 10th with Arizona ahead 3-2 and surrendered the tying run, though it was unearned due to the automatic runner. The left-hander returned for the 11th after the Diamondbacks regained the lead and closed out the 5-3 victory with a scoreless frame. This was Walston's second appearance following Tommy John surgery, as he was activated Sept. 1.

Burnes didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Royals after allowing two hits and two walks while striking out two over three scoreless innings.

Burnes made his long-awaited 2026 debut after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery and immediately delivered three scoreless frames. The right-hander threw 35 of 57 pitches for strikes and worked around traffic without allowing Kansas City to capitalize, finishing his outing by striking out Salvador Perez with a runner at second. It was Burnes' first major-league appearance in 15 months, and Arizona ultimately prevailed 5-3 in 11 innings. Burnes should make his next start next week against the Marlins.

Horwitz went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the White Sox.

Horwitz was unstoppable at the plate and contributed three of the Pirates' nine runs. He's been slumping in recent days, however, as he's hitting just .222 with a .522 OPS since the beginning of September.

Clarke was promoted from High-A Peoria to Double-A Springfield on Wednesday.

Peoria's season is over, so Clarke will log some more work in Springfield before their season wraps up. The left-hander earned the promotion after putting up a 3.44 ERA and 27:9 K:BB over 18.1 innings covering five starts with Peoria. Clarke has thrown only 25.2 innings this season after coming back from surgery to address an aneurysm in his left arm, so he's a candidate to continue building up his workload in the Arizona Fall League or another setting.

Burke (8-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Pirates after allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Burke endured the shortest start of his career as Pittsburgh overwhelmed him immediately. The first seven Pirates reached safely, with six hits and a walk producing five runs before Burke recorded an out. He returned for the second but exited after loading the bases with one out. The seven runs and eight hits allowed were both career highs, raising his ERA to 3.58. His next start lines up for this weekend against the Cardinals.

Basso is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Basso has operated as more of an opening pitcher in his prior four starts this season, but the Athletics could have him stretch out a bit more Wednesday. In his most recent relief appearance in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Mariners, Basso tossed 38 pitches over three shutout innings. Joey Estes is the freshest arm in the Athletics bullpen and should be available to cover multiple frames once Basso exits the contest.

Chandler (7-9) earned the win Tuesday against the White Sox after allowing two runs on four hits while striking out eight over six innings. He didn't issue a walk.

Chandler received a five-run cushion before taking the mound and dominated early, retiring the first 12 hitters he faced while recording seven strikeouts over the first four innings. Chicago finally broke through on Braden Montgomery's RBI single in the fifth before Kyle Teel homered in the sixth. Chandler still completed six innings and lowered his ERA to 4.25. His next start is projected to come over the weekend against the Cubs.

Caminero went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Atlanta.

Caminero opened the scoring by crushing AJ Smith-Shawver's first-inning fastball a Statcast-projected 455 feet to left-center field. The blast was his 39th homer of the season, moving him into sole possession of the AL lead, and it was the second-longest home run of his career. Caminero now needs one more long ball to become the first player in Rays history with multiple 40-homer seasons.
