With that, the 27-year-old outfielder recorded his 34th multi-hit performance in 150 regular-season appearances. During that span, he slashed .266/.327/.407 with 73 runs scored, 55 RBI, 51 extra-base hits -- including eight long balls -- 10 stolen bases and an 11.5 percent strikeout rate across 617 plate appearances.

Rafael Devers 3B | SF
Giants' Rafael Devers: Caps off season with 35th homer
Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Rockies.
Devers launched his 35th homer of the 2025 campaign in the fourth inning, extending his hit streak to eight games. He later reached base on a fielder's choice in the eighth before coming around to score the Giants' final run. Devers was traded to San Francisco in June and appeared in 163 regular-season games between the Giants and Red Sox. Overall, he slashed .252/.372/.479 with 109 RBI, 99 runs scored and one stolen base across 729 plate appearances. His 35 homers marked his highest total since 2021.

Matt Chapman 3B | SF
Giants' Matt Chapman: Doubles in season finale
Chapman went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Rockies.
Chapman lined a double to left field in the fourth inning, marking his 23rd two-bagger of the 2025 campaign. The third baseman took a slight step back in his second season with San Francisco, during which he missed significant time due to a sprained right hand. Over 128 regular-season games, the 32-year-old slashed .231/.340/.430 with 76 runs scored, 61 RBI, 21 home runs and nine stolen bases across 535 plate appearances.

Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD
Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Lined up for Game 3 start on mound
Ohtani will be the Dodgers' starting pitcher for Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Series versus the Reds, if necessary, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Blake Snell will get the ball in Game 1, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start Game 2. If there is a Game 3, that start will go to Ohtani. The two-way superstar peaked on the mound at the right time, finishing with a 0.46 ERA and 27:4 K:BB over 19.2 innings covering his last four regular-season starts.

Padres' Elias Diaz: Nursing oblique strain
Diaz's status for Tuesday's wild-card series opener versus the Cubs is in question due to a strained oblique, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Diaz tweaked his oblique during Saturday's 12-4 win over the Diamondbacks. The Padres don't believe the injury is serious, but Martin Maldonado and Luis Campusano will travel with the team to Chicago as insurance in case Diaz isn't included on the roster for the wild-card round. Diaz is the clear No. 2 catcher for the Padres behind Freddy Fermin, but he has served as the personal catcher this season for Nick Pivetta, who is slated to start Game 1 of the series.

Joe Elbis SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Joe Elbis: No appearances in 2025
Elbis didn't make any appearances in the majors or minors during the 2025 season after the Diamondbacks placed him on the restricted list April 15.
After the Diamondbacks added Elbis to their 40-man roster last offseason, he was optioned to Double-A Amarillo early in spring training. The 23-year-old righty then opened the Texas League season on Amarillo's 7-day injured list before eventually reverting to the Diamondbacks' restricted list a few weeks later. Arizona hasn't shed any light on why Elbis didn't end up pitching at all this season, and the Diamondbacks will eventually need to add him back to the 40-man roster or designate him for assignment once he's formally reinstated.

Nick Lodolo SP | CIN
Reds' Nick Lodolo: Makes relief appearance Sunday
Lodolo (groin) surrendered one earned run on two hits and two walks over one inning of relief in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Brewers.
After exiting his start in Thursday's win over the Pirates due to a right groin injury, Lodolo received a clean bill of health following a bullpen session earlier Sunday, then was called upon to pitch in relief in a must-win game. Though the Reds ultimately came up short, they backdoored their way into the playoffs after the Mets lost to the Marlins later Sunday to cede the third and final wild-card spot to Cincinnati. Now that Lodolo has seemingly put the groin issue behind him, he could be in line to make a start during the Reds' three-game wild-card series versus the Dodgers that begins Tuesday.

Sean Manaea RP | NYM
Mets' Sean Manaea: Fans three in regular-season finale
Manaea walked two batters, struck out three and yielded zero hits across 1.2 innings during the Mets' 4-0 loss to the Marlins on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.
Manaea served as the opener for Sunday's regular-season finale with the Mets still fighting for a playoff spot, and he did his part by keeping the Marlins off the board. Manaea began the season on the injured list due to a right oblique strain that he suffered in spring training and didn't make his 2025 debut until July 13. He didn't complete six innings across any of his 15 games (12 starts), and he'll finish the 2025 season with a 5.64 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 75:12 K:BB across 60.2 innings.

Cristopher Sanchez SP | PHI
Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Fans eight in no-decision
Sanchez did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning win against Minnesota. He allowed two hits over 5.2 shutout innings while striking out eight.
Sanchez could've produced a career day if he hadn't been on a workload restriction ahead of the postseason. He racked up 17 whiffs on just 60 total pitches, including eight with his changeup. Sanchez has posted a 1.59 ERA over his last six starts. He wrapped up his terrific 2025 regular season with a 2.50 ERA and a 212:44 K:BB through 202 frames. It was the first time he crossed the 200-inning mark, and he did so with a career-high 9.4 K/9.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swipes 27th bag in win
Edwards went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a steal during the Marlins' 4-0 win over the Mets on Sunday.
Edwards capped off the Marlins' four-run fourth inning with an RBI single to center before recording his 27th steal of the season in the seventh, which was just his third steal in September. Edwards will end the 2025 regular season with a .283/.343/.353 slash line with 75 runs, 20 doubles, five triples, three home runs and 43 RBI in 619 plate appearances.
