  • Mitch Keller SP | PIT

    Pirates' Mitch Keller: Labors in no-decision

    Keller didn't factor into the decision Friday against Atlanta, allowing one run on three hits and five walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out six.

    Keller lacked control in his last start of the campaign, issuing his most walks of the year in his shortest outing since Aug. 19. In fact, the right-hander lent more free passes Friday than he did in his prior five appearances combined. Keller will be entering the third season of his five-year contract with the Pirates in 2026, and he remained a capable -- if unspectacular -- major-league starter in 2025. Over 176.1 innings, he posted a 4.19 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 150:51 K:BB.

  • Joey Wentz SP | ATL

    Braves' Joey Wentz: Flops in seventh loss

    Wentz (5-7) took the loss Friday against Pittsburgh, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out three.

    Wentz didn't go out on a high note against a soft Pittsburgh lineup in his final appearance of 2025, working his second-shortest outing since becoming a starter in mid-July. The eight hits represented his second-most allowed of the season, though the southpaw at least managed to toss three scoreless frames around a four-run Pirates second inning. Wentz spent time with three different teams this year, and he'll close the campaign with an uninspiring 5.60 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 92:43 K:BB over 98 frames (13 starts).

  • Kyle Harrison SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Kyle Harrison: Hit hard in no-decision

    Harrison did not factor into the decision Friday against the Tigers, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out six.

    The Red Sox southpaw struggled out the gate, as he escaped a scoreless first inning in which he conceded two walks and a hit. The Detroit lineup finally broke through against Harrison in the fourth, when the first five batters reached, plating three runs. Given that the 24-year-old tossed 65 pitches in this appearance, he likely wraps his regular season with a 4.04 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 38:14 K:BB across 35.2 total frames with Boston and San Francisco.

  • Casey Mize SP | DET

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Concedes two runs in no-decision

    Mize did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-3 loss at Boston, allowing two runs on six hits while striking out eight over 6.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

    The Detroit right-hander ended his regular season on a high note, generating 14 whiffs out of his 80 total pitches to notch his ninth quality start. Mize tallied five or more strikeouts for the fifth time out of 28 total starts. The Auburn product contained the Red Sox's lineup, with the only runs he allowed scoring on single in the fourth and a sacrifice fly in the seventh. Mize finishes with a 3.87 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 139:36 K:BB across 149 total innings.

  • Will Warren P | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Fans seven in shaky win

    Warren (9-8) collected the win in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Orioles, yielding four runs on six hits and one walk over five frames. He struck out seven.

    The rookie allowed multiple homers for only the fourth time this season out of 33 starts. Warren conceded a three-run long ball to Jordan Westburg in the third before being chased from the game in the sixth by a Tyler O'Neill solo shot. The 26-year-old wraps his regular season with a 4.44 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 171:65 K:BB across 162.1 total innings.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Pummeled in the Bronx

    Rogers (9-3) took the loss in Friday's contest against the Yankees, allowing six runs on three hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three.

    The Baltimore southpaw's run of brilliance finally came to an end, as he allowed more than two runs for the first time since June 18. Rogers was undone by the long ball, coughing up multiple homers for the first time in 2025. The 27-year-old wraps an utterly fantastic season having pitched to a 1.81 ERA, 2.82 FIP, 0.90 WHIP and 103:29 K:BB across 109.2 innings.

  • White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Falters late in no-decision

    Gomez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals, allowing five runs on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

    Gomez entered the sixth in line for a quality start before yielding three runs in the frame, ending the day having allowed four home runs. It still marked the longest outing of the 25-year-old's career, and he posted a 4.60 ERA over nine second-half starts. For the season, he finished with a 5.17 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 58:27 K:BB across 62.2 innings as both a reliever and starter.

  • Cade Cavalli SP | WAS

    Nationals' Cade Cavalli: Chased early in no-decision

    Cavalli did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-9 loss to the White Sox, allowing six runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk with six strikeouts over four innings.

    Cavalli was tagged for four runs in the first inning, though the Nationals made errors on the first two batters he faced. It was the first time the 27-year-old failed to complete five frames since Aug. 27, but he'll finish the campaign holding opponents to three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings. For the season, he posted a 4.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB across 48.2 major-league innings.

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: Tallies fourth win

    Bieber (4-2) picked up the win in Friday's contest against the Rays, conceding two runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

    This wasn't Bieber's sharpest performance, as he generated only nine whiffs out of his 90 total pitches. Both runs the Toronto right-hander allowed came on solo homers in the second, with Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda going deep. Following a return from Tommy John surgery in mid-August, Bieber produced a 3.57 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB across 40.1 regular-season innings. The one-time Cy Young Award winner's performance in the playoffs will likely have a heavy bearing on his 2026 draft price.

  • Jack Leiter P | TEX

    Rangers' Jack Leiter: Fans 10 in seven excellent innings

    Leiter (10-10) earned the win Friday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out 10.

    In what was his final start of the season, Leiter went out with a bang while matching a season high in strikeouts. It was also the first time he fired seven innings since Aug. 23 against Cleveland. Leiter proved to be an effective starter during his first full year in the major leagues, though he struggled with walks and was hit hard at times. Despite posting a superb .222 opponents' batting average, Leiter managed a more modest 3.86 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 148:67 K:BB across 151.2 frames.
