Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Resting for regular-season finale
Dingler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
With the Tigers clinching a playoff spot Saturday, manager A.J. Hinch will rest several key regulars in the regular-season finale in advance of the wild-card round. Along with Dingler, Spencer Torkelson, Gleyber Torres, and Riley Greene will all sit out Sunday.

Dodgers' Andrew Heaney: Booted from active roster
The Dodgers optioned Heaney to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.
Heaney had his contract selected Saturday and threw two innings of relief in his team debut, allowing three earned runs on four hits and one walk. Since Heaney wouldn't have been available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Mariners, the Dodgers opted to call up Landon Knack from Triple-A to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen.

Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Recalled, starting in finale
The Mariners recalled Mastrobuoni from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. He'll start at first base and bat ninth in the team's regular-season finale versus the Dodgers.
He'll see his first MLB action since Aug. 7 as the Mariners give Josh Naylor (groin) a breather. Mastrobuoni has a .612 OPS in the majors this season but put up a .296/.415/.417 slash line with one homer and nine steals in 31 games with Tacoma.

Dodgers' Landon Knack: Summoned from Triple-A
The Dodgers recalled Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.
Knack will join the active roster for the final game of the regular season Sunday in Seattle after lefty Andrew Heaney was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old right-hander has appeared in nine games for the Dodgers in 2025, making seven starts and posting a 5.12 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP across 38.2 innings.

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Sitting for regular-season finale
Rodriguez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Dodgers.
The Mariners have clinched the division and a first-round bye, so they will give their franchise player an extra rest day ahead of the postseason. Rodriguez swiped two bags Saturday, reaching 30-30 for the second time in his young career.

Carlos Rodriguez SP | MIL
Brewers' Carlos Rodriguez: Sent back down
The Brewers optioned Rodriguez to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Sunday.
Milwaukee needed to open up a pair of roster spots for Trevor Megill (elbow) and DL Hall (oblique) to return from the injured list, and Rodriguez found himself on the wrong side of the cut line. The 23-year-old will look to stay fresh at the Brewers' spring training complex now that the minor-league season is complete. Rodriguez appeared in four games with Milwaukee in 2025, posting a 6.52 ERA and an 11:9 K:BB over 9.2 innings.

Rays' Ian Seymour: Drawing start in season finale
Seymour is slated to start Sunday's game in Toronto.
In his most recent appearance Tuesday, Seymour ended up piggybacking starter Ryan Pepiot and covered four innings while allowing three earned runs on four hits and two walks. Seymour will return to a traditional starting role for the season finale and will look to finish the campaign on a high note as he makes a case for a spot in the 2026 rotation. Since being called up from Triple-A Durham on July 31, Seymour has logged a 3.14 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 48:14 K:BB in 43 innings over 11 outings.

Erick Fedde RP | MIL
Brewers' Erick Fedde: DFA'd by Brewers
Milwaukee designated Fedde for assignment Sunday.
Fedde inked a one-year deal with the Brewers in late August, but his run with the team will come to an end ahead of the regular-season finale versus the Reds. The veteran right-hander appeared in seven games with Milwaukee, logging a 3.38 ERA, a 1.12 WHIP and a 7:7 K:BB across 16 innings.

Samuel Aldegheri SP | LAA
Angels' Sam Aldegheri: Gets nod for season finale
Aldegheri is slated to start Sunday's game against the Astros in Anaheim.
He'll take a second straight turn through the rotation to close out the season after he was dealt a loss Tuesday against the Royals last week. Through three appearances (one start) with the Angels this season, the young southpaw has allowed eight earned runs on 13 hits and seven walks while striking out seven over nine innings.

Chris Murphy RP | CHW
Red Sox's Chris Murphy: Optioned down
The Red Sox optioned Murphy to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
Murphy threw three scoreless innings in Saturday's loss to Detroit, bringing his ERA and WHIP down to 3.12 and 1.18, respectively, over 34.2 innings with the big club this season. Jose De Leon was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move and will start the Red Sox's regular-season finale versus the Tigers. Murphy will likely stay active in case he's needed out of the bullpen at some point in the postseason.
