  • Chris Paddack SP | DET

    Tigers' Chris Paddack: Falls in season finale

    Paddack (5-12) took the loss Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings.

    Paddack surrendered an early solo homer to Masataka Yoshida in the first inning before allowing another three runs to cross in the fourth, highlighted by a two-run shot from David Hamilton. The right-hander never retired more than four consecutive batters Sunday and the outing marked the sixth time in the second half he's allowed multiple home runs. The 29-year-old finishes the regular season on a difficult stretch, posting a 7.76 ERA with only 15 strikeouts over his last 31.1 innings across nine appearances.

  • Jose De Leon SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Jose De Leon: Grabs win in return outing

    De Leon (1-0) earned the win Sunday against the Tigers, allowing three runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out eight over 6.2 innings.

    Making his first MLB appearance since 2023, the right-hander shook off the rust, allowing his only damage on a Javier Baez three-run homer in the fourth inning. The Red Sox turned to the 33-year-old with the AL East already decided and a Wild Card spot secured, but despite the long layoff, he cruised through the remainder of his outing and was effective enough to earn the victory.

  • Luke Jackson RP | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Jackson: Strong results since joining M's

    Jackson threw 1.1 clean innings of relief Sunday against the Dodgers, striking out two.

    After fizzling out as the Rangers' closer to open the season and then failing to keep his roster spot with Detroit, Jackson has found his footing with the Mariners since joining the club in September. The veteran right-hander has given up no earned runs in eight of his 10 outings for Seattle, producing a 2.38 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 11.1 innings. With prior late-inning experience to boot, Jackson should be an option for high-leverage work during the playoffs.

  • Gabe Speier RP | SEA

    Mariners' Gabe Speier: Scoreless streak ends Sunday

    Speier allowed one run on one hit in one inning of relief Sunday against the Dodgers, striking out two.

    Speier's scoreless streak of 10 appearances came to an end, but he'll still finish the regular season with strong numbers overall. Through 62 innings, the southpaw logged a 2.61 ERA, a career-best 0.87 WHIP and 82:11 K:BB. Speier is set to be a major weapon out of the Seattle bullpen during the upcoming postseason.

  • Kade Strowd P | BAL

    Orioles' Kade Strowd: Wraps up year with scoreless outing

    Strowd threw one-third of an inning in relief Sunday against the Yankees.

    After the Orioles began a fire sale ahead of the July trade deadline, Strowd joined the major-league bullpen and gave Baltimore some quality work to close out the year. Through 26.1 innings, the right-hander posted a 1.71 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 24:13 K:BB with five holds. It remains to be seen if the club will bring Strowd back for 2026, but he certainly made a good impression down the stretch.

  • Sean Manaea RP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Fans three in regular-season finale

    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.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Swipes first bag

    Jeffers went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, a stolen base and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning loss to Philadelphia.

    Jeffers singled and stole his first and only base of the year in the fourth inning before knocking an RBI double in the sixth. He produced two straight multi-hit performances to end the year, but he also finished with an 18-game homerless drought. Jeffers hit .266 with a .753 OPS, 35 extra-base hits and 47 RBI through 464 plate appearances.

  • Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Fans eight in no-decision

    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.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swipes 27th bag in win

    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.

  • Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Stellar in no-decision

    Woods Richardson did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning loss to Philadelphia. He allowed one hit over six scoreless innings while striking out nine.

    Woods Richardson gave up a single to Bryson Stott in the third inning but was otherwise untouchable. Over his first nine outings, Woods Richardson posted an unsightly 5.74 ERA. After that, he produced a 3.00 ERA over his final 14 starts (69 innings). He allowed two runs while striking out 23 batters in his last 17 frames. Woods Richardson finished the 2025 season with a 4.04 ERA and a 107:46 K:BB through 111.1 innings.
