The procedural move opens up a spot on Miami’s 40-man roster for righty Kyle Tyler. The 26-year-old southpaw has been out since spring training due to left elbow ulnar neuritis. There is no timetable for his return yet.

This was how the rotation was initially set up, but Lance Lynn was angling to come back on Sunday for the home finale. Now that Lynn is on the IL, Pallante is the confirmed starter. Steven Matz could get a start next week in Lynn’s place.

That’ll make him extra attractive in free agency this winter, since he’ll only be asking for a one-year deal. Martin has a 3.43 ERA in 39 1/3 innings this season after coming in at 1.05 in 51 1/3 innings last year, but it’s been less of a decline than a correction. One imagines several contenders will be after him as a setup man who, while far from a workhorse, could help a bunch in October.

Latz was quite effective for the Rangers before getting hurt in early August, amassing a 3.71 ERA in 43 2/3 innings. Still, the team didn’t want to demote Walter Pennington or anyone else to make room for him right now.

Tate, who was claimed off waivers from the Orioles on Sept. 1, will make his Jays debut after allowing one run in five innings for Buffalo. It’d probably take $1.5 million-$1.8 million to keep him in arbitration, so he’ll have to make a really strong first impression here in order to stick on the Jays roster this winter.

Frías, called up Sept. 6, was tagged for eight runs over 3 1/3 innings in his four appearances for the Blue Jays.

Arraez could have DH’d tonight, but Fernando Tatis Jr. was slated to DH as the Padres try to manage his workload as he comes back from a leg injury. As a result, Arraez is out of the lineup. He should be available off the bench.

The Dodgers wanted someone who could throw multiple innings tonight after their ugly game Tuesday, and the 28-year-old Logue can do that. While he has been a multi-inning reliever of late, he’s started much of the year, and he hasn’t pitched since throwing three innings six days ago.

Kelly is back after two hitless innings in a rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He had been sidelined since Aug. 31 with shoulder inflammation.

The Dodgers decided against giving Miller one last shot following his two-inning start against the Marlins last night. It’s probably for the best. Miller had given up 17 earned runs in 11 1/3 innings this month, taking his ERA up to 8.52. We’re assuming we won’t see him again this season, and it’s going to be hard to recommend him as a sleeper next year before seeing how he throws in March.

Grove gets the boot after giving up three runs and taking the loss in the 11-9 game against the Marlins last night. He has a 5.12 ERA in 51 innings this season, though it seems like he’s dealt with bad luck; he has a 3.88 FIP and a 3.39 SIERA.
