  • Kyle Leahy RP | STL

    Cardinals' Kyle Leahy: Covers three innings

    Leahy allowed a hit and struck out one without walking a batter over three scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Sunday.

    Leahy started the bullpen game and had the most innings pitched of the five pitchers the Cardinals used in their season finale. This was a fine first career start, and the right-hander ended the season on a seven-inning scoreless streak. Overall, he pitched to a 3.07 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 80:28 K:BB across 88 innings across 62 appearances, adding a 4-2 record, one save, 18 holds and four blown saves as a multi-inning reliever. He could be a contender for the rotation in 2026, but Leahy hasn't regularly worked as a starter since 2022.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Homers in regular-season finale

    Baez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    Baez provided Detroit's offense on the afternoon, hitting his 12th home run of the season in the fourth inning with two runners on. While the veteran cooled down some after a strong start to the year, he still put together a bounceback campaign following a disastrous 2024. Baez wraps up his regular season with a .257/.282/.398 slash line across 126 games.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Stays hot with solo shot

    Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Cardinals.

    Suzuki ended the regular season by going deep in four straight games, totaling five homers in that span. He also hit safely in seven consecutive contests, going 8-for-26 (.308) in that span. He traded some contact for power this year, finishing the regular season with a .245/.326/.478 slash line, 32 homers, 103 RBI, 75 runs scored and five stolen bases over 151 contests.

  • Jordan Wicks SP | CHC

    Cubs' Jordan Wicks: Secures three-inning save

    Wicks allowed three hits and struck out four without walking a batter over three shutout innings to earn the save in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Cardinals.

    Wicks' long-relief performance ensured the Cubs' bullpen would be well-rested heading into the wild-card round. Wicks has kept runs off the board in three of his last four outings dating back to Aug. 26, though his struggles in limited action earlier in the year led to him finishing the regular season with a 6.28 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB over 14.1 innings across eight relief appearances. It's unclear if he'll earn a spot on the Cubs' wild-card roster.

  • Javier Assad RP | CHC

    Cubs' Javier Assad: Nabs fourth win

    Assad (4-1) allowed three hits and one walk while striking out six over 5.1 shutout innings to earn the win Sunday over the Cardinals.

    Assad closed out the regular season by winning four of his last five outings, one of which was a relief appearance. In that span, he gave up nine runs across 23 innings with a 14:9 K:BB. The right-hander has a 3.65 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 37 innings through eight appearances (seven starts) this season. His 79-pitch outing Sunday will likely keep him off the Cubs' roster for the wild-card round versus the Padres, but Assad could be included in the bullpen if Chicago advances to the NLDS.

  • Patrick Corbin SP | TEX

    Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Five Ks in no-decision

    Corbin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 9-8 extra-inning loss, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out five.

    The veteran southpaw kept the Cleveland lineup relatively in check during this 90-pitch outing, as he didn't concede an extra-base knock. Corbin gave up two runs on a Johnathan Rodriguez single in the first before being tagged with another run on a Bo Naylor sacrifice fly in the third. The 37-year-old concludes his season with a 4.40 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 131:51 K:BB across 155.1 total frames.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Homer, stolen base in finale

    Springer went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 13-4 win over the Rays.

    It was a fitting end to an outstanding regular season for Springer, who batted .369 with a 1.121 OPS across 50 games following the All-Star break. Overall, Springer posted a career-best .309 average with a .959 OPS, 32 homers, 84 RBI, 106 runs scored and 18 steals across 586 plate appearances in his 12th major-league campaign.

  • Trevor Megill RP | MIL

    Brewers' Trevor Megill: Pockets win in return

    Megill (6-3) picked up the win in Sunday's contest against Cincinnati, pitching a clean inning with two strikeouts.

    The Milwaukee right-hander was activated from the injured list prior to this game after being out since Aug. 27 due to a right elbow issue. Megill saw action in the fourth inning, retiring all three batters he faced succinctly on 12 pitches. Abner Uribe, who filled in as closer while Megill he was out, tallied the save later in the contest, as it remains to be seen how the Brewers will leverage their stalwart relievers throughout the playoffs. Megill wraps his regular season with a 2.49 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 60:17 K:BB across 47 total frames while converting 30 of 36 save chances and appearing in his first All-Star game.

  • Ian Seymour P | TB

    Rays' Ian Seymour: Falls to Toronto

    Seymour (4-3) took the loss Sunday against the Blue Jays, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out seven.

    Toronto got to Seymour out of the gate Sunday, scoring five times in the first inning, punctuated by an Alejandro Kirk grand slam. The 26-year-old Seymour had been pitching well coming into the day, posting a 2.08 ERA in his previous six appearances (30.1 innings). While it wasn't the ideal finish, it was an encouraging rookie campaign overall for the left-hander. Seymour posted a 3.63 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP and 64:19 K:BB across 57 innings.

  • Abner Uribe RP | MIL

    Brewers' Abner Uribe: Collects seventh save

    Uribe pitched a clean inning with no strikeouts to pick up the save in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Reds.

    The Milwaukee flamethrower required only eight pitches, five of which were strikes, to secure his team's 97th win. Even with Trevor Megill (elbow) being activated earlier in the day, Uribe was called upon for this save because Megill handled the fourth inning and picked up the win. Uribe closes out his regular season with a 1.67 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 90:27 K:BB across 75.1 total innings.
