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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cabrera (8-7) earned the win against the Mets on Sunday, allowing two hits and five walks while striking out seven across five scoreless innings.

Cabrera's command was off in Sunday's regular-season finale, logging a season-high five walks while tallying just 44 strikes on 83 pitches. Three of those free passes came in the fifth inning, but he was able to get out of the frame unscathed after getting Pete Alonso to line out to left field. Cabrera's efforts earned him his eighth win of the season -- a career high -- and he'll end the 2025 campaign with a 3.53 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 150:48 K:BB across 137.2 innings.

Lord (5-10) yielded five runs on five hits and two walks over four innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against the White Sox.

Lord coughed up three home runs in the ugly loss, including Miguel Vargas' two-run shot in the first inning. Lord had given up three long balls over his previous 23 innings before Sunday's contest. He entered August with a 3.27 ERA but will finish the 2025 campaign with a 4.34 ERA over 130.2 frames. Lord produced a 2.79 ERA in 38.2 innings out of the bullpen. He also registered a 108:43 K:BB during his rookie season.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 12-4 loss to the Padres.

Marte led off the game with a solo shot on JP Sears' sixth pitch, but the Padres had taken control by the end of the first inning. Over his last 10 games, Marte went 15-for-43 (.349) with three homers and seven RBI to enjoy a strong finish to the season. He ended up with a .283/.376/.517 slash line, 28 homers, 72 RBI, 87 runs scored, four stolen bases and 28 doubles across 126 contests overall. He has finished with an OPS over .800 in four of the last five seasons.

Pfaadt (13-9) allowed eight runs (seven earned) on six hits and a hit-by-pitch and struck out five without walking a batter over four innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Padres.

Pfaadt's season finale was a microcosm of his season -- strong control, a few mistakes and a hearty dose of bad luck. He allowed four or more runs in four of his last seven starts of the season, winning just one of those games. Overall, he ended the year at a 5.25 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 147:37 K:BB across 176.2 innings across 33 starts.
