Dunn issued one walk and struck out three batters over two shutout innings during Sunday's win over Oakland.

Dunn was used as the opener in all four of his MLB appearances this season and tossed two scoreless innings in three of those. He walked eight batters over his first 2.2 MLB innings but issued just one free pass over his last four frames. The 24-year-old ends the season with a 2.70 ERA.

Cole (20-5) gave up one run on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 through five innings to earn the win over the Angels on Sunday.

Cole registered 20 swinging strikes and 14 called strikes on only 92 pitches in the win. It has been an amazing run for Cole, as he became the first pitcher in MLB history to record nine straight double-digit strikeout games after this performance. The 29-year-old finishes the regular season with a 2.50 ERA and 326 strikeouts in 212.1 innings.

Snell (6-8) gave up two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four through 2.1 innings to take the loss against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Snell allowed both runs in the first frame, but he recovered to deliver 1.1 scoreless innings before his exit after 62 pitches. Snell continued to be limited in his pitch count, technically throwing his longest outing since his return from the injured list. The 26-year-old finishes the regular season with a 4.29 ERA with 147 strikeouts through 107 innings.

Turnbull (3-17) gave up four runs (three earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out seven through 5.1 innings to take the loss against the White Sox on Sunday.

Turnbull allowed a run in the first inning, but wouldn't allow another until his final frame, when he allowed three baserunners and two runs before being removed from the game. While Turnbull had a rough start to the month, he posted a 3.35 ERA and a 20:3 K:BB in his final three starts. The 27-year-old finishes the season with a 4.61 ERA and 146 strikeouts in 148.1 innings.

Chirinos will work behind starter Blake Snell in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Blue Jays in an effort to get him stretched out ahead of the postseason, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Chirinos last worked three innings in an appearance versus the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing an earned run on one hit. The right-hander has only logged a combined four frames over his last two outings, so he's likely to see a workload similar to his most recent turn ahead of the start of the Rays' postseason journey Wednesday.

Manager Kevin Cash confirmed Morton would start Wednesday in the Rays' American League wild-card matchup with the Athletics, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Morton closed out a spectacular first season with Tampa Bay in style Wednesday, tossing six scoreless frames to lower his ERA to 3.05. He'll return to the rubber on six days' rest in a win-or-go-home matchup with the Athletics, who are likely to send Sean Manaea to the mound for the contest.

Milone will not pitch in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Athletics due to shoulder fatigue, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

The veteran southpaw was originally slated to work in a multi-inning capacity in the finale behind Justin Dunn, but manager Scott Servais will go with multiple relievers behind the rookie's expected 2-to-3-inning workload. Milone finishes 2019 with a 4-10 record, 4.76 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 23 appearances (six starts).

Severino (1-1) allowed two runs on a hit and four walks while striking out four over three innings, taking the loss versus the Rangers on Saturday.

Severino needed 72 pitches (44 strikes) to labor through his start, and a two-run double from Rougned Odor was enough to stick him with the loss. Those are the only runs Severino has allowed in three starts since returning from shoulder and lat injuries that kept him sidelined since the spring. Severino is expected to be a part of the rotation in the playoffs.

Farrell allowed one run on one hit in two innings of work. He didn't record a strikeout and didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Yankees.

Farrell allowed a triple to Aaron Judge in the first inning, and then surrendered the run on Brett Gardner's sacrifice fly. Farrell has been solid with a 2.70 ERA and 0.68 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 13.1 innings in nine appearances this season.

Suarez allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision against the Astros on Saturday.

Manager Brad Ausmus left Suarez out there to begin the sixth inning after the lefty began his night with five scoreless frames, and the decision backfired. Suarez walked George Springer and then gave up a two-run shot to Jose Altuve before getting the hook. That was home run No. 23 given up by Suarez in just 81 innings this season. He seems like a longshot to make the 2020 Opening Day roster, but Suarez will get to make his case in the spring.
