Vaughn (illness) has been cleared to go through a full team workout with the Brewers on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Vaughn last played in a game Sept. 19, as he dealt with a stomach bug that caused him to lose 10 pounds. He is now considered fully healthy and will be included on the Brewers' NLDS roster, likely seeing some opportunities against left-handers.

Sheets went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Sheets blasted a solo shot to right-center field in the fourth inning before being replaced at designated hitter by Luis Campusano. Sheets has gone 2-for-7 (.286) in two contests since being reinstated from the injured list after recovering from a left foot sprain. He'll close the regular season with a .212/.313/.397 slash line, 17 homers, 48 RBI, 47 runs and four stolen bases over 125 games.

Lewis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

Lewis launched a solo shot in the eighth inning, tallying his second game with a homer and a steal this season. It was a nice end to an otherwise forgettable September in which he hit just .209 with two home runs and 11 RBI. Overall, the 27-year-old finished an inconsistent campaign slashing .227/.287/.380 with 15 long balls, 57 RBI, 51 runs scored and 16 stolen bases across 509 plate appearances.

Walker went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 9-0 win over the A's.

Walker extended Houston's lead to 5-0 in the sixth inning with a solo shot off Scott Blewett, his 29th homer this year. Walker will head into the postseason on a hot streak, going 8-for-23 (.348) with four homers in his last six games. Overall, Walker slashed .226/.299/.427 across 635 regular-season plate appearances with 87 RBI and 73 runs scored.

Harper went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-3 win over Tampa Bay.

Harper extended the Phillies' lead to 5-1 in the fifth inning with a solo shot off Jesse Scholtens, his 29th homer this year. Harper had been in a significant slump in the power department coming into Sunday -- he had gone deep just once in his previous 27 games. Overall, Harper will finish the regular season with a .269/.380/.485 slash line, 87 RBI and 93 runs scored across 693 plate appearances.

Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Guardians.

Pasquantino twice gave the Royals a lead, going deep in the fifth and eighth innings. While injuries and lackluster performances defined parts of the season for Pasquantino, he finished strong with eight homers over 23 games in September. The first baseman hit .249 with a .761 OPS, 17 homers, 63 RBI, 54 runs scored, 20 doubles, two triples and five stolen bases over 114 contests in 2026.

Chaparro went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Mets.

Chaparro led off the third inning with a solo shot off Sean Manaea, cutting Washington's deficit to 4-3, before he put the Nats ahead 5-4 in the fifth with his second homer of the day and 13th this season. Chaparro swung the bat well down the stretch, going 11-for-29 (.379) over his last 10 games. It was a nice year overall for the first baseman, who'll finish with a .268/.364/.530 slash line, 39 RBI and 36 runs scored across 228 plate appearances.

Stowers (abdomen) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's contest versus Atlanta.

Stowers will finish the regular season having been held out of the lineup for the final four games due to an abdominal injury, though he did appear once as a pinch hitter during that span. It's not an injury that should linger too far into the offseason for Stowers, who finishes with a .239/.331/.459 batting line and 21 home runs in 2026.

Contreras (hand) will serve as the designated hitter and bat third in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cubs, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Contreras recently expressed concern about his availability for the wild-card round after being unable to swing a bat Wednesday or Thursday. However, it now seems he's in the clear to face off against the Yankees next week, so long as he makes it through Sunday's game without a setback. Contreras leads the Red Sox in home runs (27), RBI (81) and OBP (.387) with one game to play in the regular season.

Rumfield is absent from the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

The Rockies will hold him out of the regular-season finale so that he can finish with an even .300 batting average. Rumfield slashed .300/.390/.453 with 16 home runs and 73 RBI over 155 contests during his terrific rookie campaign. Troy Johnston will handle first base for Colorado on Sunday.
