  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Not starting regular-season finale

    Skubal will no longer start Sunday's regular-season finale against Boston, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Skubal will get a breather after Detroit secured a playoff berth with a 2-1 win over the Red Sox on Sunday. Chris Paddack will now take the mound in Game 162 for the Tigers, allowing the team to save Skubal for the playoffs. Skubal will finish his 2025 campaign with a sparkling 2.21 ERA and 0.89 WHIP while compiling 241 strikeouts over 195.1 innings in 31 starts.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Set for shortened start

    Glasnow is expected to pitch between three and five innings in Saturday's start against Seattle, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Glasnow will be held back slightly in his final regular-season start of the year, and his outing will depend on how far he's gotten when he reaches the team's designated pitch count for him Saturday. Andrew Heaney is expected to take the mound following Glasnow and soak up the extra innings that Glasnow would've likely handled.

  • Sean Manaea RP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Starting Sunday

    Manaea will start Sunday's game against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Manaea will toe the rubber for the Mets' all-important final regular-season contest. The left-hander has struggled to a 7.64 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 17.2 innings in five appearances, including three starts, in September. It's possible that Manaea will be on a short leash versus Miami considering New York is on the postseason bubble, making him an unpredictable fantasy asset in Game 162.

  • Brenton Doyle CF | COL

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Breaks HR drought Saturday

    Doyle went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run during the Rockies' 4-3 loss to the Giants on Saturday.

    Doyle gave the Rockies a two-run lead in the second inning with a solo shot off Justin Verlander. It was Doyle's 15th home run of the season but his first since Aug. 23 against the Pirates. He has struggled at the plate since Sept. 1 with a .432 OPS, two steals and four RBI in 23 strikeouts across 78 plate appearances.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Cracks three-run homer in win

    Schmitt went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

    Schmitt put the Giants on the board and gave them a 3-2 lead with his long shot off Kyle Freeland in the third inning. It was Schmitt's 12th home run on the season, which is more than he tallied in the two years prior combined (11). He has a .707 OPS with nine runs, three homers and nine RBI in 78 plate appearances since Sept. 1.

  • Brice Matthews SS | HOU

    Astros' Brice Matthews: Back in big leagues

    Matthews was called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Matthews will return to the major-league roster after being sent down Aug. 26, batting .209 with four home runs, 17 RBI, 12 runs scored and 11 stolen bases over 24 games following his demotion. Matthews will replace Jake Meyers (calf) with the big-league club after Meyers was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

  • Giants' Spencer Bivens: Collects second save of 2025

    Bivens closed things out in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies after striking out one batter across two-thirds of an inning to come away with the save.

    Ryan Walker was brought in to close things out in the ninth inning, but he was pulled after yielding a solo homer to Jordan Beck before allowing two more baserunners. The Giants turned to Bivens, who proceeded to strike out Warming Bernabel before plunking Ryan Ritter to load the bases, but Bivens was able to secure the win after getting Ezequiel Tovar to pop out in foul territory. Biven sits at a 4.10 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 79 innings this season.

  • Jake Meyers CF | HOU

    Astros' Jake Meyers: Placed on IL

    Meyers (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Meyers has been dealing with right calf soreness for a few days, and he'll now be forced to miss the conclusion of the regular season. The outfielder would be eligible to return to action if Houston were to make the postseason and ultimately advance to the ALDS. In the meantime, Brice Matthews was called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday to replace Myers.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | BAL

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Prolific campaign continues in win

    Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Marlins.

    Alonso ripped his 38th big fly of the season and his seventh of the month. The All-Star first baseman will likely fall short of what could be his fourth career 40-homer year, barring a multi-homer effort in Sunday's regular-season finale in Miami, but he's once again been a prolific four-category fantasy stud in 2025. Through 161 outings, Alonso is batting a career-high .273 with 126 RBI and 87 runs scored.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Slugs homer No. 20

    McMahon went 2-for-3 wit ha solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Orioles.

    The third baseman took Tomoyuki Sugano deep in the second inning, one of three early homers by the Yankees as they take the battle for the AL East title with the Blue Jays right down to the wire. McMahon's long ball was just his fourth in 53 games in pinstripes but his 20th of the season, the fifth straight season he's reached that milestone and the sixth time overall in his career.
