  • Elvis Alvarado RP | ATH

    Athletics' Elvis Alvarado: Strong finish to season

    Alvarado allowed no hits and a walk with no strikeouts over 1.1 scoreless innings Saturday against Kansas City.

    Alvarado entered in the fifth inning and recorded the final out of the frame, then worked through the sixth while allowing just one baserunner. The hard-throwing righty has been sharp down the stretch, tossing 6.1 scoreless innings over his past five appearances and posting a 1.86 ERA across nine outings in September. In his rookie season, he owns a 3.27 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 36 appearances and 41.1 innings.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Homers in Saturday's loss

    Arenado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Cubs.

    Arenado singled in his first plate appearance and then skied one to left-center field off Jameson Taillon in the fourth inning that found the first row of the bleachers at Wrigley Field. It was the veteran third baseman's second home run in 11 games since coming off the injured list, and he's driven in nine runs over that stretch.

  • Tristan Beck RP | SF

    Giants' Tristan Beck: Earns second hold of 2025

    Beck picked up a hold in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies, tossing a scoreless inning.

    Beck retired all three batters he faced on just seven pitches, five of which were strikes. The right-hander has logged three consecutive scoreless outings, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out three in 4.2 innings during that span. Overall, he owns a 4.69 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB across 55.2 innings in 30 appearances this season.

  • Sean Burke P | CHW

    White Sox's Sean Burke: Strikes out 10 in bulk role

    Burke did not factor into the decision Saturday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk across 4.1 relief innings. He struck out 10.

    Working in a bulk role, Burke logged a season-high 10 punchouts while allowing just a pair of runs on a Daylen Lile homer. The 25-year-old Burke was solid down the stretch, posting a 3.65 ERA over his last three appearances (12.1 innings). He'll finish the year at 4-11 with a 4.29 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 133 strikeouts across 134.1 innings.

  • Jahmai Jones 2B | DET

    Tigers' Jahmai Jones: Powers offense Saturday

    Jones went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Jones delivered a two-run single in the fifth inning that ultimately won the game for the Tigers and secured their spot in the postseason. The outfielder is now riding a three-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 4-for-9 with a home run and five RBI. Jones gives Detroit a potent bat against southpaws in the playoffs, as he's sporting a robust .970 OPS in those matchups this year.

  • Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Launches home run in win

    Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals.

    Crow-Armstrong has now gone deep in consecutive games, pushing his season total up to 31. That's easily a new career best and is tied with Seiya Suzuki for second on the team behind Michael Busch, who has 34 long balls. Crow-Armstrong has also swiped 35 bases this year, giving him his first career 30-30 campaign and offering a glimpse at the 23-year-old's long-term potential.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Homers again Saturday

    Suzuki went 1-for-2 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals.

    After going 38 games without a home run, Suzuki has now gone deep in three straight contests, including a two-homer effort Thursday. The slugging outfielder is up to 31 home runs and 102 RBI for the season, both of which are easily new career highs. The recent hot stretch gives Suzuki plenty of momentum heading into the playoffs.

  • Brady Basso SP | ATH

    Athletics' Brady Basso: Opening Sunday's contest

    Basso will serve as the Athletics' opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Royals, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    The Athletics won't have Jeffrey Springs make his normally scheduled start in the season finale, so Basso will take the mound first in what's expected to be a bullpen day. Basso made four starts for the Athletics in 2024 but has worked exclusively as a reliever in 2025. He's eclipsed two innings in just one of his 18 appearances between the majors and minors this season, so he's unlikely to work more than once through the batting order Sunday.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Available in relief for NLWC

    Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Glasnow will be available out of the bullpen during the National League Wild Card Series, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

    Glasnow threw just 36 pitches in his final start of the regular season Saturday, saving his arm for the wild-card round that starts Tuesday. The Dodgers will deploy Glasnow out of the bullpen after the veteran right-hander started in all 18 of his appearances during the regular season. Glasnow posted a 3.19 ERA and a 106:43 K:BB across 90.1 innings.

  • Guardians' Johnathan Rodriguez: Has role in playoff clincher

    Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

    Rodriguez made his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, and he gave the Guardians an early lift with his opposite-field, two-run homer in the first inning. He later walked in the ninth as part of the rally that led to a walk-off win, clinching a playoff spot for Cleveland. The Guardians can still claim the AL Central title Sunday with a win or a Detroit loss.
