  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Steps up for extra-inning save

    Wrobleski notched a save against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, striking out two batters in a perfect 11th inning.

    The Dodgers' bullpen blew another late lead Wednesday, as Arizona scored three times in the eighth inning to tie the score. Los Angeles was able to push the game into extra frames, and after neither team scored in the 10th, the Dodgers managed a run in the top of the 11th inning. Wrobleski then came in for the bottom of the frame and sandwiched two punchouts around a groundout to earn a tough save. It was the left-hander's second save of the campaign, though his first was of the three-inning variety against Tampa Bay on Aug. 1. The Dodgers' bullpen has been in disarray throughout much of the season -- the team has 27 total blown saves, and the club's saves leader, Tanner Scott, has 10 -- so it's not infeasible that Wrobleski's clutch performance Wednesday could earn him some high-leverage looks (and even save chances) as manager Dave Roberts looks to find reliable late-inning arms.

  • Kirby Yates RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Kirby Yates: Placed on IL

    The Dodgers placed Yates on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a hamstring injury, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Yates hasn't pitched since Saturday due to his hamstring, and his trip to the injured list will keep him sidelined through the NL Wild Card Series, as well as the first few games of the NLDS if Los Angeles advances. The 38-year-old will finish the regular season with a 5.23 ERA through 41.1 innings -- his worst mark while pitching at least 40 frames since 2016. Roki Sasaki (shoulder) was activated off the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Abner Uribe RP | MIL

    Brewers' Abner Uribe: Notches sixth save

    Uribe earned the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Padres, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

    Uribe has been sharp since taking over as Milwaukee's primary closer in Trevor Megill's (elbow) absence. Uribe has gone seven innings without allowing an earned run, allowing just four hits and one walk while striking out 10 in that span. Overall, the right-hander has converted six of eight save chances this season while posting a sparkling 1.70 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP and 90 strikeouts across 74.1 innings.

  • Jordan Wicks SP | CHC

    Cubs' Jordan Wicks: Sent to Arizona complex

    The Cubs optioned Wicks to the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    After posting a 7.94 ERA and 1.94 WHIP across 11.1 innings with the big club this season, Wicks will head down to the Cubs' facility in Arizona to stay sharp now that the minor-league season is over. His departure clears room on the active roster for Daniel Palencia's (shoulder) return from the injured list.

  • Cubs' Daniel Palencia: Activated from IL

    The Cubs reinstated Palencia (shoulder) from the injured list Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Palencia has been sidelined since Sept. 8 due to a strained right shoulder, although he pitched in a rehab game Saturday, during which he gave up an unearned run and struck out two batters over two-thirds of an inning. The Cubs will now likely aim to get him a few more big-league appearances before he serves as the team's primary closer during the postseason. Jordan Wicks was optioned to the Arizona Complex League in a corresponding move.

  • Ryan Rolison RP | CHW

    Rockies' Ryan Rolison: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Rockies optioned Rolison to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

    Rolison made four appearances out of the Rockies' bullpen since being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 11, but in his last outing against the Marlins this past Thursday he allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one batter in one inning. He'll return to Albuquerque, where he sports a 3.34 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 29.2 innings this season.

  • Luis Peralta RP | COL

    Rockies' Luis Peralta: Activated Wednesday

    The Rockies reinstated Peralta (hip) from the injured list Wednesday.

    Left hip inflammation sent Peralta onto the injured list Sept. 11, but a quick recovery will allow him to provide depth to Colorado's bullpen for the final several games of the 2025 campaign. Ryan Rolison was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

  • Rockies' Roansy Contreras: Lands on IL with hand injury

    The Rockies placed Contreras on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right hand contusion.

    Contreras' move to the IL means he'll be shut down for the rest of the season, though he should be ready for spring training. He was claimed off waivers by the Rockies on Sept. 2 after being DFA'd by the Orioles in late August. Across four bullpen appearances for Colorado, Contreras allowed eight runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out four across 8.1 innings.

  • Zach Agnos P | COL

    Rockies' Zach Agnos: Back from IL

    The Rockies reinstated Agnos (elbow) from the injured list Wednesday.

    Agnos has been on the shelf since late July with a strained right elbow, but he'll now return in time to help the Rockies' bullpen through the final five games of the season. The 25-year-old hasn't been particularly effective during his first season in the majors, logging a 6.98 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 29.2 innings.

  • Padres' Ron Marinaccio: Demoted Wednesday

    The Padres optioned Marinaccio to the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.

    The Padres needed to free up a spot on the active roster for the return of David Morgan (shoulder). Marinaccio will stay ready at the team's spring training complex in Arizona in case he's needed later this week or in the postseason.
