  • Astros' Christian Walker: Two more homers in win

    Walker went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Angels.

    Walker's bat has sparked late in the season. He has gone 9-for-25 (.360) over his last six games while smacking four homers in that span, giving him 27 long balls on the year. He's added a .238/.297/.421 slash line with 88 RBI, 72 runs scored, two stolen bases and 24 doubles over 154 contests. His rate stats have been down across the board, but staying relatively healthy has kept his counting stats from dropping too far.

  • Astros' AJ Blubaugh: Walks four in no-decision

    Blubaugh allowed a hit and four walks while striking out two over four scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Saturday.

    Blubaugh threw just 35 of 70 pitches for strikes, but the Angels weren't able to take advantage. He kept runs off the board in his last eight appearances, spanning 19 innings in which he had a 20:8 K:BB. The 25-year-old posted a 1.69 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB over 42 innings across 11 appearances (three starts) in his first taste of major-league action, which is much more impressive than his 5.27 ERA and 101:58 K:BB over 99 innings with Triple-A Sugar Land this year.

  • Caden Dana SP | LAA

    Angels' Caden Dana: Goes seven innings in loss

    Dana (0-4) allowed five runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Astros.

    Dana had his longest start in the majors, and he was efficient in throwing 67 of 93 pitches for strikes. He still gave up three home runs, which accounted for all five runs on his line, matching his season high in runs allowed. The right-hander concludes the campaign with a 6.40 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 33:18 K:BB through 32.1 innings across seven appearances (five starts) in the majors. Dana will need to show better command to have a chance at securing a rotation spot on a full-time basis in 2026.

  • Jack Suwinski CF | PIT

    Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Some late improvement

    Suwinski went 2-for-3 with an RBI on Saturday against Atlanta.

    Suwinski delivered an RBI in the sixth inning to put the Pirates up 3-1. He's had an abysmal offensive season and spent much of the year in the minors, though he has at least one hit in five of his last seven games. Suwinski has closed the season as the Pirates' primary left fielder against right-handed pitching, though he's likely to face significant competition for a roster spot to begin 2026.

  • Henry Davis RF | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Tallies seventh homer

    Davis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against Atlanta.

    Davis got the scoring going for the Pirates in the third inning with his seventh home run of the season. While he has improved considerably behind the plate, he's managed only a 41 wRC+ and .230 wOBA across 283 plate appearances. Davis is splitting time with Joey Bart to end the season, though he'll likely face additional competition for playing time from Rafael Flores to begin 2026.

  • Jordan Beck OF | COL

    Rockies' Jordan Beck: Sixth homer of second half

    Beck went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Giants.

    Beck delivered his 16th long ball of the season in the ninth inning, and his first since Sept. 6. After a strong first half, his power has evaporated in the final couple of months, as he entered Saturday's game having just a .118 ISO across 243 plate appearances in the second half. Beck has still put together a solid season, hitting .260 with 19 stolen bases across 147 games.

  • Astros' Lance McCullers: Starting in season finale

    McCullers will start Sunday's season finale against the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    McCullers was activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday after missing the minimum amount of time with right hand soreness. The Astros have been eliminated from postseason contention for the first time since 2016, so McCullers will likely have a long leash Sunday. He owns a 6.71 ERA over 52.1 innings in 15 appearances and had been demoted to the bullpen in late August before landing on the shelf. McCullers remains under contract through 2026, and with the Astros set to be without all of Hayden Wesneski, Ronel Blanco, Luis Garcia and Brandon Walter for the majority or entirety of next season while the quartet recovers from elbow surgeries, McCullers stands a good chance of being included in the Opening Day rotation coming out of spring training.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Smacks 31st homer

    Goodman went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Saturday against the Giants.

    Goodman went yard in the first inning to deliver his 31st homer of the season, five which have come in September. He's hit .292 with 15 RBI and 10 runs scored across 23 games for the month, ending his breakout campaign in strong form.

  • Guardians' Logan Allen: Drawing start in crucial finale

    Allen will start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rangers, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Allen will toe the rubber for Cleveland with an opportunity for the team to win the AL Central on Sunday with a victory. The southpaw has posted an impressive 2.00 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 18 innings in three starts in September. With Allen on the mound Sunday, Gavin Williams is expected to take the ball for Game 1 of the Guardians' wild-card series Tuesday.

  • JP Sears SP | SD

    Padres' JP Sears: Expected to be called up for start

    Sears is expected to be called up from Triple-A El Paso to start Sunday's regular-season finale against Arizona, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    With the Padres already locked into a matchup versus the Cubs in the wild-card round beginning Tuesday in Chicago, the team will break Sears into the rotation Sunday. Sears has posted a 5.12 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 113 strikeouts over 130 innings in 26 starts with the Athletics and Padres in 2025.
