Hill pitched six innings, surrendering three runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out six in Monday's win over the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

Hill gave up a solo home run to Wander Franco in the top of the first inning before Manuel Margot took him deep for a two-run shot in the bottom of the fourth frame after an error extended the inning. The homers accounted for all the damage against him in the contest and the left-hander notched his second consecutive quality start. Hill will finish his season with a 4.27 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 109 strikeouts over 124.1 frames in 26 starts.

Glasnow pitched 3.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out seven in Monday's loss to the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.

Glasnow was stretched out a little further Monday, tossing 64 pitches while blanking the Red Sox over 3.2 frames. The right-hander returned from the 60-day injured list to make his season debut Wednesday and will now be a significant part of the Rays' pitching staff in the postseason. Over his two outings, he's allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over 6.2 innings.

McCullers (4-2) took the loss Monday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over six innings against the Phillies. He struck out five.

McCullers finished the season on a high note, with his fourth consecutive quality start. His only major mistake came on the very first pitch he threw, a sinker that caught too much of the plate which Kyle Schwarber took the other way to left field for a solo home run. The earned run was enough to prevent McCullers from earning the win as he was outdueled by Aaron Nola. In his nine starts this season, the 29-year-old went 4-2 with a 2.27 ERA, which he will look to build on with a full workload next year.

Ober did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk over five innings against the White Sox. He struck out four.

Ober allowed just two hits on the night, but they were timely as they both came in the second inning, including a two-run home run off the bat of Josh Harrison. In four starts since returning from the injured list Sept. 16, Ober earned a 2.04 ERA over 22.1 innings, finishing the campaign on a high note. In 56 innings on the season, the 27-year old went 2-3 with a 3.21 ERA.

Cueto (8-10) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks with four punchouts over seven innings against Minnesota.

Cueto was effective through seven innings, the only damage coming via a two-run home run off the bat of Gio Urshela in the top of the first inning. The quality start was a great end to the season, as Cueto earned a 6.34 ERA over 32.2 innings over six starts leading up to Monday. The 36-year-old veteran finishes the season with a 3.35 ERA, eight wins, 18 quality starts and 102 strikeouts over 158.1 innings.

Greinke yielded two runs (one earned) on one walk and seven hits over six innings against Cleveland on Monday. He struck out one and did not factor in the decision.

Greinke didn't get much run support until the Royals won the game in the 10th frame. The veteran righty gave up just one run over 13 frames in his final two starts of the year, lowering his season ERA to 3.68 through 26 starts. Greinke dominated the Guardians this season, registering a 1.19 and a 9:4 K:BB in four starts against them. He struck out just 73 batters through 137 innings this year.

Perez (12-8) got the loss after he pitched six innings, surrendering one run on five hits and five walks while striking out two Monday versus the Yankees.

Perez finished his season on a high note, limiting the Yankees to one run over six frames. The only blemish on his line came in the top of the fifth frame, when Kyle Higashioka notched an RBI single. Perez snagged a third straight quality start and has produced five of them over his final six outings of the season overall. The left-hander will finish the campaign with a 2.89 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 169 strikeouts over 32 starts.

McKenzie allowed one run on four hits over five frames against the Royals on Monday. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

McKenzie gave up a run in the third inning but otherwise worked a pretty clean outing. The 25-year-old righty ended his regular season by allowing three or fewer runs in his final 11 starts, posting a 2.27 ERA through 71.1 innings during that stretch. On the year, McKenzie registered an impressive 2.96 ERA with a 190:44 K:BB across 31 appearances (30 starts).

Severino (7-3) got the win after he tossed seven no-hit innings, allowing one walk while striking out seven batters in Monday's win over the Rangers.

Severino was in full command Monday, keeping the Rangers out of the hit column for seven frames. The only baserunner he allowed in the contest came from a third-inning walk to Josh Smith. Severino has now produced a 1.69 ERA and 0.63 WHIP with 17 strikeouts over 17 innings in three starts since returning from the 60-day injured list Sept. 21. If he makes another start this season, it will come in the playoffs.

Ragans was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left calf strain Monday.

Ragans made his final start of the year against the Angels on Saturday and allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out two in five innings to settle for a no-decision. Even though he wouldn't have pitched again in 2022, he's dealing with a calf issue that will force him to finish the year on the IL. It's not yet clear whether the injury will have any impact on his offseason program.
