Lodolo (3-6) took the loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with one strikeout over seven innings.

Lodolo entered the sixth inning in a 2-2 tie before surrendering a solo shot to Michael Busch. It was an odd start for the southpaw, who needed just 90 pitches to complete seven frames for the second straight contest but generated only four swinging strikes while allowing 10 hard-hit balls. He owns a 5.04 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 80:44 K:BB across 103.2 innings this season and will finish his campaign at Toronto next weekend.

Holmes (10-5) notched the win Saturday against Houston, striking out four while allowing two runs on eight hits and no walks in six innings.

Isaac Paredes went yard in the first inning, but Holmes settled in and fired five innings of one-run ball afterwards. The right-hander has tossed at least six innings while yielding fewer than three runs in five of his last nine starts, posting five scoreless outings during that stretch. With a 3.47 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 114:59 K:BB over 147.2 innings, he's set to wrap up the regular season with a road matchup against the Marlins.

Scott didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Phillies, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.

The right-hander ran out of gas in the fifth inning, getting lifted after 79 pitches (52 strikes) and then watching the Mets take the lead for good in the bottom of the frame, missing out on his fifth win of the year in the process. Scott continues to flash strong strikeout upside, and since the All-Star break he has a 69:21 K:BB in 56 innings, albeit with a 4.50 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. He'll wrap up his first full season in the majors with a road start next weekend against the Nationals.

Wesneski didn't factor into the decision Saturday against Atlanta, striking out three while allowing one run on four hits and three walks in 5.1 innings.

Wesneski kept Atlanta off the board until the sixth inning, turning in a strong start Saturday. The right-hander has been pretty reliable lately, either logging a quality start or pitching at least five innings while conceding fewer than two runs in seven of his last nine outings since the beginning of August. His final appearance of the regular season is slated to come against the Athletics in hitter-friendly Sacramento, where he'll carry a respectable 3.50 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB over 54 innings.

Bibee did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 12-6 win against the Athletics, allowing six runs on 12 hits and no walks with two strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Bibee was spotted a huge lead but struggled, yielding a career-high 12 hits while generating just seven whiffs on 95 pitches. It continued a rough September for the 27-year-old, who owns a bloated 8.24 ERA in four starts this month while failing to log five frames in three of them. He owns a 4.35 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 142:54 K:BB across 182 innings overall and will try to rebound in his final matchup of the regular season at Kansas City next weekend.

Painter (3-10) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs on four hits and a walk over 5.1 innings as the Phillies fell 10-3 to the Mets. He struck out seven.

The rookie right-hander struck out six or more batters for the fifth time in his last six starts, but homers by Carson Benge in the second inning and Francisco Alvarez in the fifth accounted for all the damage off Painter and put New York in the lead for good. Over that six-start stretch, Painter has put together a 3.57 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 36:10 K:BB through 35.1 innings. He's scheduled to make his final start of the regular season at home next weekend against the Rays.

Lopez (6-5) took the loss against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits and no walks with one strikeout over 2.2 innings.

Lopez was jumped for two homers and five runs in the first inning before being charged with another five runs in the third. It was the highest run total the 28-year-old has ever allowed in a single start, and he's now yielded 19 earned runs over his past three outings. He'll take an inflated 5.68 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 108:56 K:BB across 117.1 innings this season into his final matchup of the campaign at home against the Astros next weekend.

Rogers (10-11) took the loss Saturday as the Orioles fell 1-0 to the Brewers, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over eight innings. He struck out 10.

A Joey Ortiz triple in the second inning led to the only offense in the game, as Rogers came out on the wrong end of the decision despite delivering one of his best performances of the season. The lefty tossed 72 of 99 pitches for strikes in his 15th quality start of the year, eight of which have come in 12 outings since the All-Star break. He's produced a 3.58 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and dazzling 84:8 K:BB in 75.1 innings during that second-half stretch. Rogers will wrap up his regular season with a road start next weekend against the Yankees.

Soriano (12-8) took the loss Saturday against Texas, striking out eight while allowing six runs (five earned) on four hits and one walk in five innings.

Hard contact hurt Soriano, who surrendered three extra-base hits (one home run) on the evening. The eight strikeouts were his most in a Blue Jays uniform, but the right-hander has now given up at least three runs in six of his last seven starts. He has a 4.73 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 40:16 K:BB over 51.1 innings for Toronto, and what could be his final appearance of 2026 lines up to come at home against the Reds.

Gasser (5-5) picked up the win Saturday, allowing three hits and three walks over seven scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over the Orioles. He struck out two.

Baltimore got runners to third base twice against Gasser, including a bases-loaded, one-out situation in the sixth inning, but both times the southpaw escaped without taking any damage. It was his fifth quality start of the season and first since Aug. 14, and his 107 pitches (64 strikes) were a career high. Gasser will take a 4.01 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 94:34 K:BB through 103.1 innings into his final outing of the regular season, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Cardinals.
