Nola (7-11) took the loss Wednesday against the Brewers, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out eight.

Nola gave up solo home runs to Brice Turang and Christian Yelich in the first two innings before William Contreras tacked on two more runs with a two-out single in the third. Nola had been rolling coming into Wednesday's contest -- he held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his previous eight outings, posting a 1.86 ERA across 48.1 innings in that span. The veteran right-hander will likely finish the regular season with a 4.54 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 177:59 K:BB across 32 starts (174.1 innings).

Henderson (11-3) earned the win Wednesday over the Phillies, allowing a run on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Henderson did a good job working through traffic Wednesday, as he held Philadelphia to a lone second-inning run en route to his 11th victory. Henderson went 5-1 with 1.93 ERA across 42 innings in his final seven starts this season. He'll likely wrap up an impressive regular-season with a 2.47 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 110:19 K:BB across 18 outings (98.1 innings).

Perdomo didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Twins, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

Perdomo was another solid appearance overall for Perdomo, who's held opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his five appearances this season. The 24-year-old southpaw made a decent case to open the 2027 campaign in San Francisco's rotation. Perdomo will likely finish the year with a 3.65 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB across 24.2 innings.

Chapman (lat) struck out the side to earn the save Wednesday against Cleveland.

Chapman last pitched Sept. 13 due to a lat issue, but he showed no signs of rust Wednesday in his return to the mound. The star southpaw has now punched out three in back-to-back outings, last blowing a save June 28 against the Yankees. He has a shiny 1.92 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 71:23 K:BB with 35 saves in 37 attempts across 51.2 innings.

Prielipp didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Giants, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

It was a strong outing overall for Prielipp, who held the Giants scoreless until Shay Whitcomb's two-out, two-run single in the fourth inning,. In three starts since rejoining Minnesota's rotation, Prielipp's given up just five runs across 17.2 innings. The lefty will likely finish his rookie campaign with a 4.87 ERA over 125.2 innings this season with a 1.29 WHIP and 128:44 K:BB.

Gray (18-5) earned the win Wednesday against Cleveland, striking out three while allowing four hits and one walk in six scoreless innings.

Gray scattered four singles on the evening in what was final scheduled appearance of the regular season. The right-hander is heading into the playoffs with a ton of steam, having logged a quality start in four consecutive outings and seven of his last nine. Wednesday put a bow on an excellent regular season, which saw Gray post a 2.72 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 149:46 K:BB over 169 innings.

Morris earned the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Giants, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Morris got the call in the ninth inning Wednesday after Yoendrys Gomez was used earlier in the contest. The 25-year-old Morris worked around a pair of two-out base runners to log his fifth save of the year. The right-hander has turned in four straight scoreless frames, lowering his ERA to 4.21 on the season with a 1.36 WHIP and 68:27 K:BB across 72.2 innings.

Griffin (15-6) took the loss against Boston on Wednesday, allowing one run on 10 hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

Griffin certainly danced around plenty of trouble, holding the Red Sox in check in spite of giving up 10 singles. The seven punchouts were his most since July 8 as a member of the Nationals, and it was just the southpaw's third quality start since being dealt to Cleveland. Griffin posted a 5.19 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 42:15 K:BB over 43.1 innings for the Guardians as his regular season comes to an end.

The Padres designated Jacob for assignment Wednesday.

After turning in a 5.58 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 61.1 innings at Triple-A El Paso, Jacob will lose his place on San Diego's 40-man roster to clear space for Jason Adam (shoulder), who returned from the 60-day IL on Wednesday. Jacob's career numbers in the majors are respectable (4.18 ERA, 1.23 WHIP), though his poor performance in the minors may deter other teams from claiming him off waivers.

The Padres optioned Canning to the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.

Canning owns a 5.57 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 85.2 innings with the Padres this season but has given up just one earned run while striking out 14 batters over his last 14.2 innings. Despite his improved performance, he'll be pushed out of San Diego's bullpen to make room for Jason Adam (shoulder), who returned from the 60-day IL on Wednesday.
