Sean Manaea SP | NYM
Mets' Sean Manaea: Falls to Nats in finale
Manaea (6-8) took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out three.
It was a tough way to end the year for Manaea, who'd given up just four earned runs across 11.1 innings while striking out 11 in his previous two outings. The veteran left-hander will finish with a 4.78 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 144:44 K:BB across 150.2 innings this season. Manaea is under contract with the Mets again in 2027, though it remains to be seen whether or not he'll remain in the starting rotation.

Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Officially placed on IL
The Dodgers placed Treinen (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.
Treinen injured his right shoulder while warming up in the bullpen during Saturday's game against the Giants. Per Fabian, the Dodgers suspect that Treinen suffered a capsule injury, and the right-hander will undergo an MRI on Monday to get more clarity on the matter. Bobby Miller was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Scratched from Sunday's lineup
Moreno (hamstring) has been removed from Sunday's lineup against the Padres, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Moreno was initially slated to serve as the designated hitter for Sunday's must-win game. However, he has now been scratched due to a hamstring issue that cropped up Friday, though he could be available off the bench as a pinch hitter. Pavin Smith will now be the designated hitter, with Jordan Lawlar entering the lineup in center field while Tim Tawa moves to first base.

Cubs' Gavin Hollowell: Sent down to minors
The Cubs optioned Hollowell to the Arizona Complex League on Sunday.
The move corresponds with Braxton Garrett being recalled from Triple-A Iowa. Hollowell was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday and recorded one out while issuing one walk against the Red Sox on the same day. He has a 2.45 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 14.2 innings this season.

Cubs' Braxton Garrett: Recalled for Sunday's regular-season finale
The Cubs recalled Garrett from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.
The Cubs are locked into their playoff spot, so Garrett will be called up to serve in a long-relief role, with Shota Imanaga expected to work an abbreviated start for Sunday's regular-season finale. Garrett has started in two games for the Cubs this season, allowing seven runs on seven hits and eight walks while striking out five across 4.1 innings.

Luis Arraez 2B | PHI
Phillies' Luis Arraez: Not ruled out for pinch hitting
Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said that Arraez (ankle) has improved enough to potentially be used as a pinch hitter during Sunday's game versus the Rays, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Arraez has not taken any swings since suffering a left ankle sprain Thursday, so an appearance off the bench Sunday seems unlikely. However, with the Phillies still trying to lock in their playoff berth, anything is on the table. Bryson Stott is playing second base for the Phillies on Sunday.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Getting breather Sunday
Lowe is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Tigers.
After slugging his 35th home run of the season in Saturday's loss to the Tigers, Lowe will get some extra rest during Sunday's regular-season finale. Assuming the impending free agent doesn't appear off the bench Sunday, he'll finish with a .260/.331/.493 batting line and 96 RBI to go along with his 35 long balls.
