Tatis went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and two stolen bases in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.

Tatis is up to 38 steals this season, including seven over his last 16 games. He's also batting .369 (24-for-65) with eight extra-base hits in that span. If Tatis keeps running over the weekend against the Diamondbacks, he'll have a chance to reach 40 steals for the first time. He's batting .289 with an .828 OPS, 25 home runs, 82 RBI, 95 runs scored, 31 doubles and three triples over 157 contests this year.

Miller allowed a run on one hit and struck out two over one inning to earn the save in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.

Miller gave up an RBI double to Shohei Ohtani but was able to preserve the Padres' lead. Miller has given up just 13 runs all season (10 earned), but he's allowed six runs (five earned) over his last 13.2 innings dating back to Aug. 25. The star closer has a 1.30 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 127:24 K:BB through 69 innings while converting 38 of 41 save chances, but he's not in the best form as the Padres look to lock up a playoff spot.

Pivetta allowed four hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out seven over 4.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Thursday.

Pivetta pitched well but wasn't particularly efficient with 87 pitches (59 strikes) in this outing. The right-hander gave up just three runs across 18.2 innings in September after a nearly five-month layoff due to a flexor strain. He ends the regular season with a 3-2 record, 2.86 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 42:8 K:BB across 34.2 innings over eight starts. It's unclear what role he'll have if the Padres secure a postseason berth, but based on recent usage, he may be limited if he functions as a starter.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Thursday's 5-1 win over the Phillies that he removed Contreras for a pinch hitter late because the backstop didn't run out a grounder he could have gotten a hit on, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

This doesn't figure to have any real implications for Contreras' playing time moving forward, but it sends a message to the clubhouse that a lack of hustle will not be tolerated. Contreras was an All-Star this season -- his third career All-Star selection -- and he has been hot for Milwaukee with an .886 OPS in September entering Thursday's game.

Pagan allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against Atlanta. He struck out one.

Pagan continues his ways as a lights-out closer for the Reds. The right-hander last surrendered a run Sep. 1 against the Padres and hasn't blown a save since way back during a May 4 outing against the Cubs. Pagan is positioning himself as the Reds' favorite for closing duties once more in 2027, turning in a 3.38 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 45:11 K:BB with 25 saves (28 attempts) in 42.2 innings in 2026.

Singer took a no-decision Thursday against Atlanta, striking out one while allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks in three innings.

With another poor showing Thursday, Singer is limping his way into the offseason. The right-hander has coughed up at least five runs in four consecutive starts, and he hasn't pitched at least six innings since Aug. 20 versus the Cardinals. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this winter, and Singer figures to have a market as a back-end starter despite logging a career-worst 5.85 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 126:62 K:BB across 157 innings in 2026.

Mahle took a no-decision Thursday against the Reds, striking out two while allowing five runs on six hits and two walks in five innings.

Mahle had trouble with hard contact, giving up three extra-base hits (two home runs). It was a big letdown by the right-hander, who entered Thursday on a streak of eight consecutive starts with two runs or fewer allowed since joining Atlanta. He's still expected to be a key part of the rotation this postseason, posting a superb 1.99 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 48:9 K:BB over 54.1 innings for his new team.

Senzatela earned the save in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Phillies, allowing just one walk while striking out one over 1.2 innings.

Senzatela recorded the final five outs Thursday to log his fourth save this season, his first since joining the Brewers at the trade deadline. The right-hander has allowed just two runs over his last seven appearances (six innings). Overall, Senzatela sports a 4.07 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP and 59:26 K:BB across 73 innings between Milwaukee and Colorado this year.

Painter did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Phillies, allowing a run on five hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out eight.

Painter was impressive Thursday, as he logged a quality start while matching a season high with eight punch outs. It was a nice way to wrap up the regular season for the 24-year-old Painter, who had struggled to a 5.87 ERA over 15.1 innings in his previous three outings. After struggling in the first half, he'll finish the year 3-10 with 5.40 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 115:47 K:BB over 126.2 innings.

Arraez suffered a sprained left ankle during Thursday's contest against the Brewers, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Arraez suffered the injury while trying to avoid being tagged while attempting to beat out a ground ball in the bottom of the sixth inning. The team outlined that he will be further evaluated, and his status moving forward is currently up in the air. More information on his status will likely be provided following the conclusion of Thursday's game.
