Pages isn't in the lineup Saturday for Game 7 of the World Series versus Toronto.

Pages will retreat to the bench for the deciding game in the 2025 World Series after going just 4-for-50 (.080) during the Dodgers' postseason run. Tommy Edman will move to center field in Pages' stead, opening up second base for Miguel Rojas.

Ohtani will start Game 7 of the World Series against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Ohtani will be pitching on short rest after making it through six innings during a loss in Game 4 on Tuesday. The 31-year-old owns a 3.50 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with 25 strikeouts through 18 innings so far in the postseason and will be opposed by Max Scherzer in Saturday's winner-take-all contest.

Yamamoto picked up the win Friday in Game 6 of the World Series against the Blue Jays, allowing one earned run on five hits and a walk while striking out six batters over six innings.

Although Yamamoto wasn't able to record a third straight complete game, he still proved to be as dominant as ever in Game 6, allowing just one run on a George Springer RBI single in the third. Yamamoto seemed to be at risk of allowing a few more runs in the sixth after giving up a two-out double to Vladimir Guerrero and walking Bo Bichette, but a well-timed strikeout of Daulton Varsho allowed the right-hander to escape the inning unscathed. The Japanese All-Star will almost certainly be unavailable for Saturday's series finale after throwing 96 pitches Friday, so he'll likely finish his second MLB postseason with a 1.56 ERA and 0.78 WHIP alongside a 32:5 K:BB after 34.2 innings.

The Pirates claimed Darnell (hip) off waivers from the Rockies on Friday and placed him on the 60-day injured list, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Darnell posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in the majors this year across 11.2 innings, though his season was cut short in late August by a torn labrum in his left hip. Now in the Pirates organization, the 28-year-old righty will be entering a more pitcher-friendly environment compared to Colorado. However, he'll still likely be limited to middle-relief duties in Pittsburgh.

Pages is absent from the lineup for Friday's Game 6 of the World Series against the Blue Jays.

After starting each of the first 14 games this postseason, Pages has now been held out of the lineup for both of the last two contests. He's just 4-for-50 at the dish during the playoffs. Tommy Edman will man center field and Miguel Rojas will play second base for the Dodgers.

Rojas will start at second base and bat ninth in Friday's Game 6 of the World Series versus the Blue Jays.

It's Rojas' first start of the World Series and his third start this postseason. With Rojas manning second base, Tommy Edman has shifted to center field for the Dodgers. Andy Pages will begin the contest on the bench for the second straight game.

The Reds outrighted Espinal to Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Espinal has the ability to decline the outright assignment and elect free agency, but it's uncertain whether he plans to exercise that right. The veteran infielder slashed only .243/.292/.282 with zero home runs over 114 regular-season games for the Reds this season.

Snell took the loss in Game 5 of the World Series against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, giving up five earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out seven batters across 6.2 innings.

It seemed like the 32-year-old lefty was going to be in for a rough start early after two of his first three pitches were hit over the left field wall by Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero. Snell managed to settle in afterward and kept Toronto's offense at bay for the next several innings, but the Dodgers' bats also failed to come alive against Toronto starter Trey Yesavage. After allowing two men to reach base and throwing a pair of wild pitches in the seventh, Snell was pulled for Edgardo Henriquez, who allowed both inherited runners to score and didn't record an out. After cruising through his first three postseason outings, Snell has now given up 10 earned runs in 11.2 innings during the World Series. He's expected to be available out of the bullpen if the Dodgers force a Game 7.

Stubbs cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Rochester.

Stubbs played in his first career MLB game in 2025, though most of his time was spent in the minors, where he slashed .169/.293/.316 across 266 plate appearances between Double-A and Triple-A. The Nationals already have four other catchers on their 40-man roster, so Stubbs will end up as the odd man out and likely open 2026 as organizational depth.

Ogasawara cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Rochester.

Ogasawara struggled during his first season stateside, posting a 6.98 ERA and 1.55 WHIP alongside a 30:17 K:BB through 38.2 innings. He'll now lose his place on the 40-man roster heading into the offseason, though he may have a chance to reclaim his spot with a strong showing in spring training.
