Braves designated SS Jonathan Ornelas for assignment.

The 25-year-old Ornelas, who was picked up from the Rangers in May, got into only two games for the Braves, going 2-for-4. He’s hit .196/.295/303 in 115 games in Triple-A, continuing an unfortunate trend; he had a .728 OPS in 2023 in his first year in Triple-A, a .648 OPS last year at the level and now a .598 OPS this season.

Rays designated RHP Jake Woodford for assignment.

Woodford was with the Rays for just one day. The 29-year-old now will hit the waiver wire, and with only three days left in the season, it’s hard to imagine there will be a claim. He’ll be a free agent at the end of the year.

Mickey Gasper left Friday’s game against the Cubs with an apparent injury.

Gasper appeared to injure himself on a swing, and while the backstop was initially able to continue, he exited shortly after. Connor Wong is now catching for Boston. There should be an update shortly.

Ray Kerr

ATL Relief Pitcher #58

Ray Kerr will get the start against the Marlins on Friday.

Kerr will be on the bump and likely go around three innings before giving way to a reliever. He’s done a nice job since being promoted in August with a 1.76 ERA, but seems likely to give way to the bullpen before he’d be eligible for a win.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Ryan Weathers (forearm) looked healthy in his live bullpen session Friday.

Boone reported that Weathers was up to 96 mph with his heater in the session. The left-hander’s regular season is over, but could be an option for the Yankees in the playoffs. Boone wasn’t ready to commit to Weathers being an option for the Wild Card round, but if he’s not, he could be available for the ALDS should the Yankees advance.

Elmer Rodriguez will pitch for the Yankees on Sunday.

Rodriguez will likely get the start Sunday as the Yankees will have nothing to play for in that contest. The 23-year-old is one of the better prospects in the system and has some long-term upside, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for an option in that game against Baltimore.

Trent Grisham (hamstring) took live batting practice Friday.

Grisham and Giancarlo Stanton (calves) both faced off against Ryan Weathers (forearm) before Friday’s contest. Grisham has been out of action since near the start of September, but could be an option for the postseason beginning next week.

Giancarlo Stanton (calf) took live batting practice Friday.

Stanton was facing off against fellow rehabber Ryan Weathers (forearm). Stanton is currently on the 60-day injured list with a recurring calf issue, and it seems unlikely he’ll be an option for the Yankees during the postseason.

Ryan Weathers (forearm) will throw a live bullpen session Friday.

Weathers will get a chance to face Giancarlo Stanton (calves) and Trent Grisham (hamstring) in that session. The left-hander has not faced hitters since suffering his flexor strain near the end of August. He could be an option for the postseason, but there are no guarantees.

Anthony Volpe is making his first major league start at third and batting seventh against the Orioles in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader.

The Yankees could have played José Caballero at third and Volpe at second with Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ryan McMahon sitting against a lefty, but they want to see if Volpe can serve as an alternative to McMahon in the postseason. It’s just kind of weird that they’ve waited this long to do it.
