Burnes will start Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series for the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

After he turned in a 2.92 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 32 starts, the decision to send Burnes to the mound for Game 1 is a no-brainer. Baltimore still doesn't know who it will be facing to begin its playoff run, but the 2021 NL Cy Young Award winner is a safe bet to put on a strong performance in his first postseason appearance as an Oriole no matter who his opponent is.

Baz (4-3) got the win Saturday against the Red Sox. He allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings.

Baz closed out the season with another strong outing, and he ends his 2024 campaign with six quality starts his final eight turns. The 25-year-old made a successful return from Tommy John surgery this season with a 3.06 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 14 starts. Baz finished on a tear with a 2.34 ERA and 0.82 ERA in his last 50 innings.

The Yankees optioned Warren to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Saturday's game versus Pittsburgh.

Warren pitched the ninth inning of Saturday's loss, allowing three earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out three batters. His poor outing will give him a 10.32 ERA to finish the season through 22.2 innings in the majors.

The Mariners placed Miller on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a blister on his right index finger.

In his last appearance Monday against the Astros, Miller picked up his final win of the season as he allowed two hits and two walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings. The 26-year-old right-hander ended the year strong with four quality starts in a row, and in 12 games after the All-Star break, he posted a 1.89 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 73:16 K:BB over 71.1 innings. Miller will finish the 2024 regular season with a 12-8 record over 31 starts with a 2.94 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 171:45 K:BB across 180.1 innings. Emerson Hancock was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move, and he will start Saturday against the Athletics.

The Mariners recalled Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Hancock has been recalled ahead of his start Saturday against the Athletics. He made his last start with the Mariners on Sept. 21 against the Rangers, when he allowed two runs on five hits while striking out three across five innings. Across 11 major-league outings this season, Hancock has a 4-4 record with a 4.72 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB across 55.1 innings.

Lowder did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Cubs, allowing three hits and three walks with one strikeout over five scoreless innings.

Lowder generated only six whiffs on 91 pitches but logged his fourth scoreless outing in six chances after being promoted to the Reds. He'll finish the year with a 1.17 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB across 30.2 major-league innings and should factor into the club's rotation plans for next season.

Hendricks did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Reds, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out two over 7.1 scoreless innings.

Hendricks needed just 81 pitches to work into the eighth inning, finishing with arguably his best start of the season. Over his final five outings, the veteran logged two quality starts while yielding two earned runs or fewer four times. He'll conclude a disappointing campaign with a 5.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 87:43 K:BB across 130.2 innings and will hit free agency this offseason.

The Dodgers recalled Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Wrobleski owns a 6.40 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 32.1 major-league innings on the year, though his numbers are heavily inflated by a 10-run outing he endured Sept. 1 against Arizona. He'll return to Los Angeles to give the Dodgers a fresh multi-inning option out of the bullpen, replacing Ben Casparius.

The Padres recalled Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday ahead of his start versus Arizona.

Vasquez allowed nine earned runs over 4.1 innings during his last MLB start Aug. 31 and turned in a 7.20 ERA over 15 frames to finish the season in Triple-A, but he'll be called upon nonetheless to get San Diego through its penultimate regular-season game Saturday. On top of his poor performance, the 25-year-old will match up against a Diamondbacks offense that boasts an .818 OPS since the start of September, making him a rather unappealing streaming option. Alek Jacob was optioned to El Paso in a corresponding move.
