Ryan (7-10) earned the win after allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings in Friday's 10-2 victory over the Rangers.

Ryan endured a difficult first inning, allowing an RBI single to Corey Seager and a run-scoring groundout to Wyatt Langford as Texas grabbed a 2-0 advantage. However, Minnesota responded with six runs in the second, and Ryan took control the rest of the way, holding the Rangers scoreless over his final five frames to end a streak of seven starts without a win between July 11 and Sept. 19. Ryan gave up two or fewer runs in three of his final four starts of the season, but he posted a ballooned 6.82 ERA since the All-Star break. In 27 starts this season, Ryan posted a 3.79 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP over 144.2 innings.

Holmes didn't factor into the decision in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander took a 3-1 lead into the fifth inning before stumbling and getting lifted after 78 pitches (50 strikes). Holmes wasn't able to repeat his early-season success for the Mets following a trade to the Cubs, and over nine starts for his new team he produced a 4.25 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 33:24 K:BB in 48.2 innings. Whether he has a spot in Chicago's wild-card round rotation could depend on the health of Kevin Gausman (shoulder).

DeGrom (11-11) took the loss Friday against the Twins after allowing eight runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings.

DeGrom matched a season high in runs allowed at the worst possible time, as the Rangers are in a tight race to win the AL West. The subpar outing overshadowed the fact that the star hurler also recorded his 200th strikeout of the season Friday, reaching the milestone for the first time since 2019. DeGrom made 31 starts this season and pitched at least 160 innings in back-to-back years for the first time since 2018 and 2019. He finishes the regular season with a 4.20 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 162.2 frames. If the Rangers make the playoffs, expect DeGrom to take the ball in the AL Wild Card round.

Gasser didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Cardinals after allowing one run on a hit and a walk while striking out nine over six innings.

Gasser dominated St. Louis for most of his outing, with the Cardinals' only hit against him coming on Ivan Herrera's solo home run in the fourth inning. However, the bullpen wasted his strong start and ultimately erased Gasser's chance to close out the regular season with a win. It remains to be seen whether Gasser will be part of the Brewers' rotation in the NLDS, but the third-year veteran posted strong numbers in his first full season as a major-league starter. In 21 appearances (20 starts) and 109.1 innings, Gasser delivered a 3.87 ERA and 1.19 WHIP while posting a 103:35 K:BB.

McGreevy didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Brewers after allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out two over 4.2 innings.

McGreevy struggled to keep Milwaukee off the bases before departing with two outs in the fifth, and while Milwaukee jumped to a 4-1 lead, the Cardinals later erased the early deficit. McGreevy closes the season with some ups and downs, but he went undefeated in his last 10 starts, going 3-0 with a 4.78 ERA across 52.2 innings. For the year, the third-year hurler posted career-high marks in innings pitched (168.2), starts (31) and ERA (3.95), among several other categories.

Miller (4-10) allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss Friday versus the Angels.

Miller had a decent start going through five innings before Christian Moore tagged him for a three-run home run in the sixth. Miller's campaign was a tale of two halves -- he had a 1.71 ERA over his first nine outings, but he went winless (0-8) over his last 13 games, posting a 6.14 ERA across 66 innings in that span. It shakes out as a 4.17 ERA overall, along with a 1.16 WHIP and 119:38 K:BB across 118.2 innings through 22 games (21 starts). The silver linings were Miller improving his strikeout, walk and home run rates from last year while staying healthy after opening the year with an oblique strain.

Cameron did not factor into the decision during Friday's 12-9 loss to the Guardians. He allowed seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and four walks while striking out three over five innings.

Cameron allowed his most runs since July 19. Despite the seven spot, the left-hander completed his 15th consecutive outing of at least five innings dating back to July 6. The lefty served up long balls to David Fry and Austin Hedges while allowing 11 total base runners. With this being his last appearance of the season, the 27-year-old wraps up 2026 with a 9-8 record, 4.11 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 158:58 K:BB in 177.1 innings.

Detmers (7-8) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Friday.

Detmers struggled in his previous start, but he ends the year in a positive note. The southpaw allowed just eight runs over 30 innings across five starts in September, winning three of them while adding a 37:4 K:BB. Overall, he posted a 3.36 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 211:48 K:BB over 185 innings across 32 starts in 2026, just one year after serving as a full-time reliever. Detmers could attract significant offseason trade interest after his career year.

Pfaadt (8-3) allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out seven over 7.2 innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.

Pfaadt put the Diamondbacks in a good spot for the rest of the weekend, sparing the bullpen with a long outing. He threw 71 of 106 pitches for strikes and earned the win to keep Arizona's playoff hopes alive, gaining ground on the Phillies after their loss to the Rays. Pfaadt had gone six starts without a win prior to Friday. He ends the regular season at a 3.77 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 94:32 K:BB across 136 innings over 29 games (19 starts), and he's pitched well enough to warrant a start in the wild-card round if Arizona makes the postseason.

Mize (6-10) allowed seven runs on seven hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out one over four innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Mize gave up a home run in each of the first three innings. In his 10 starts as a Padre, he's posted a 7.46 ERA with 13 home runs allowed over 44.2 innings. He posted a 4.32 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 110:38 K:BB through 131.1 innings over 26 regular-season starts, but given his recent form, it'll be tough for San Diego to trust him with a start in the wild-card round.
