Rea (12-6) was saddled with the loss Sunday, allowing five runs on 10 hits, three walks and a hit batsman over 5.2 innings against the Brewers. He struck out five.

Rea worked past four innings for the first time since Aug 24, but he allowed a season-high 14 batters to reach base. With the Brewers set to host the Wild Card Round of the playoffs starting Tuesday and Rea likely on the outside looking in when it comes to their playoff rotation, he was asked to eat some innings, with the quality being less important than the quantity. The veteran righty finished the regular season with career-high marks in innings pitched (167.2), strikeouts (135) and wins (12).

Morton (8-10) took the loss Sunday against Kansas City, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

Morton took the loss for the third time in his last four starts and surrendered four runs for a second consecutive outing. All four runs against the 40-year-old came via the long ball, with Michael Massey lifting a three-run homer in the first inning before Hunter Renfroe notched a solo shot in the fourth. Morton ends the regular season with a 4.19 ERA and a 167:65 K:BB across 165.1 innings spanning 30 starts, and his usage Sunday makes it highly unlikely he would be available in the Wild Card Round should Atlanta make the playoffs.

Peterson (10-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing one hit and three walks over seven scoreless innings against the Brewers. He struck out eight.

Peterson saved his best performance for when the Mets needed it most, allowing just a first-inning infield single to Jackson Chourio en route to his second scoreless effort of the year. The eight strikeouts matched his second-highest total of the season, while he dropped his ERA to an impressive 2.90 over 21 starts spanning 121 innings. The Mets still have work to do to make it to the postseason, but should they advance following Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta, Peterson would be required to work on short rest if he were to make an appearance in the Wild Card Round.

Greene didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Cubs, allowing one hit and three walks across four scoreless innings. He struck out three.

Greene remained on a pitch count Sunday, throwing 65 pitches in his second start since being activated from the IL on Sept. 22. Despite the limitations, he performed well and fired off his eighth scoreless start of the campaign. 2024 was a career year for the 24-year-old, as he logged a 2.75 ERA with a 169:57 K:BB across 26 starts (150.1 innings).

Kilian tossed five scoreless innings but did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Reds. He allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four.

Kilian just made his season debut for the Cubs on Monday, allowing six runs (five earned) over 5.2 innings, but he looked much sharper Sunday in the last game of the year. The 27-year-old righty pitched well for Triple-A Iowa earlier this season, compiling a 3.22 ERA across 44.2 innings, and he could compete for a rotation spot with Chicago next spring. Kilian has a career 9.22 ERA at the MLB level, however, so his fantasy upside may be limited.

Feltner allowed two hits and two walks while striking out three over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Sunday.

Feltner received just one run of support, and the Rockies' bullpen couldn't hold the lead he passed along. He posted four quality starts in September and came just one out shy in his other outing on the month, ending the year on a positive note after he battled injuries in August. Feltner ends 2024 with a 4.49 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 138:52 K:BB over 162.1 innings across 30 starts, though he also had a poor 3-10 record in what was still his best major-league campaign to date.

Falter did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Yankees, allowing four earned runs on four hits and three walks in three innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

Falter's first two pitches of the contest were both laced for extra-base hits -- a double by Gleyber Torres and a two-run shot by Trent Grisham. Falter never fully recovered, allowing two more runs in the third inning before being pulled after 62 pitches. The 27-year-old started a career-high 28 games for the Pirates in 2024, finishing with a respectable 4.43 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 97:45 K:BB in 142.1 innings. Although the southpaw showed improvement from previous seasons, his paltry 6.3 K/9 (eighth percentile) made him a low-upside fantasy option.

Knack allowed a run on five hits and struck out four without walking a batter over four innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Sunday.

Knack worked behind an opener Sunday, likely in preparation for his role during the postseason. The 27-year-old was a little shaky in September, yielding 12 runs over 21 innings across five appearances, though he had a 25:6 K:BB in that span. Overall, he put together a strong rookie year with a 3.65 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 69:18 K:BB across 69 innings over 15 appearances (12 starts).

Severino will start the second game of Monday's doubleheader versus Atlanta, if necessary, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Severino will be set to pitch in the nightcap Monday if New York drops the opener. The Mets need to win one of the two contests in order to secure a spot in the Wild Card Round. Tylor Megill will start the matinee, and if New York wins, Severino will shift his focus to getting ready for the postseason.

Megill will start the first game of Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

Megill will get another turn in the rotation before the end of the regular season as New York tries to qualify for the postseason. The Mets need to win at least one of the two contests in the twin bill to clinch a spot in the Wild Card Round beginning Tuesday. Megill has compiled a 1.80 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with 22 strikeouts over 20 innings through four starts in September.
