Bednar earned the save in Sunday's 3-2 win against the Orioles, striking out two while issuing a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

The right-hander was tasked with protecting a one-run lead and worked around a leadoff walk to Adley Rutschman by punching out two of the next three hitters to close the door. The 30-year-old has been great of late, allowing just six baserunners over his last 10 appearances while converting seven saves in that span. Since joining the Yankees, Bednar has converted nine of his 12 save chances and posted a 2.19 ERA and 35:9 K:BB across 24.2 innings.

Weissert earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over Detroit, striking out two while allowing a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

Called upon with a one-run lead, Weissert quickly faced trouble when he yielded an infield single to Andy Ibanez, putting the winning runner on-base. However, the right-hander quickly regained control, using five pitches to retire the next two batters and close out the game. The 30-year-old ends the year with a 2.82 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 57:21 K:BB across 67 innings of work.

Jackson threw 1.1 clean innings of relief Sunday against the Dodgers, striking out two.

After fizzling out as the Rangers' closer to open the season and then failing to keep his roster spot with Detroit, Jackson has found his footing with the Mariners since joining the club in September. The veteran right-hander has given up no earned runs in eight of his 10 outings for Seattle, producing a 2.38 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 11.1 innings. With prior late-inning experience to boot, Jackson should be an option for high-leverage work during the playoffs.

Speier allowed one run on one hit in one inning of relief Sunday against the Dodgers, striking out two.

Speier's scoreless streak of 10 appearances came to an end, but he'll still finish the regular season with strong numbers overall. Through 62 innings, the southpaw logged a 2.61 ERA, a career-best 0.87 WHIP and 82:11 K:BB. Speier is set to be a major weapon out of the Seattle bullpen during the upcoming postseason.

Strowd threw one-third of an inning in relief Sunday against the Yankees.

After the Orioles began a fire sale ahead of the July trade deadline, Strowd joined the major-league bullpen and gave Baltimore some quality work to close out the year. Through 26.1 innings, the right-hander posted a 1.71 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 24:13 K:BB with five holds. It remains to be seen if the club will bring Strowd back for 2026, but he certainly made a good impression down the stretch.

Lord (5-10) yielded five runs on five hits and two walks over four innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against the White Sox.

Lord coughed up three home runs in the ugly loss, including Miguel Vargas' two-run shot in the first inning. Lord had given up three long balls over his previous 23 innings before Sunday's contest. He entered August with a 3.27 ERA but will finish the 2025 campaign with a 4.34 ERA over 130.2 frames. Lord produced a 2.79 ERA in 38.2 innings out of the bullpen. He also registered a 108:43 K:BB during his rookie season.

Iglesias struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Pirates.

Iglesias was a little rough coming out of the All-Star break, but over his last 27 appearances of the year, he allowed just one run with a 27:6 K:BB over 26.2 innings. He also earned 18 of 29 saves for the year in that stretch, which reasserted his status as a high-end closer. The right-hander also posted a 3.21 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 73:16 K:BB through 67.1 innings overall.

Leahy allowed a hit and struck out one without walking a batter over three scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Sunday.

Leahy started the bullpen game and had the most innings pitched of the five pitchers the Cardinals used in their season finale. This was a fine first career start, and the right-hander ended the season on a seven-inning scoreless streak. Overall, he pitched to a 3.07 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 80:28 K:BB across 88 innings across 62 appearances, adding a 4-2 record, one save, 18 holds and four blown saves as a multi-inning reliever. He could be a contender for the rotation in 2026, but Leahy hasn't regularly worked as a starter since 2022.

Wicks allowed three hits and struck out four without walking a batter over three shutout innings to earn the save in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Cardinals.

Wicks' long-relief performance ensured the Cubs' bullpen would be well-rested heading into the wild-card round. Wicks has kept runs off the board in three of his last four outings dating back to Aug. 26, though his struggles in limited action earlier in the year led to him finishing the regular season with a 6.28 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB over 14.1 innings across eight relief appearances. It's unclear if he'll earn a spot on the Cubs' wild-card roster.

Megill (6-3) picked up the win in Sunday's contest against Cincinnati, pitching a clean inning with two strikeouts.

The Milwaukee right-hander was activated from the injured list prior to this game after being out since Aug. 27 due to a right elbow issue. Megill saw action in the fourth inning, retiring all three batters he faced succinctly on 12 pitches. Abner Uribe, who filled in as closer while Megill he was out, tallied the save later in the contest, as it remains to be seen how the Brewers will leverage their stalwart relievers throughout the playoffs. Megill wraps his regular season with a 2.49 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 60:17 K:BB across 47 total frames while converting 30 of 36 save chances and appearing in his first All-Star game.
