Narvaez underwent a successful left knee meniscectomy Wednesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Narvaez played through a meniscus injury in his knee for much of the second half of the regular season and the playoffs before having a cleanup procedure Wednesday. He is expected to be fully recovered before spring training and should enter the 2026 season as Boston's top catcher after slashing .241/.306/.419 with 15 home runs in 118 contests.

Judge on Wednesday didn't dismiss the possibility of undergoing surgery to repair the flexor strain in his right elbow, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Following the Yankees' elimination from the postseason, Judge said of his elbow that "we'll definitely do some work on it and get it right." When asked whether that could mean surgery, he replied, "I'm not a doctor. I don't know." Judge was diagnosed with a flexor strain in late July, spent 10 days on the injured list and was limited to designated hitter for a month upon his return. He played right field regularly over the final few weeks of the regular season and in the playoffs, but his throwing was noticeably compromised. A decision on how best to treat Judge's elbow injury should be made soon.

Keller issued a walk and struck out two batters over 1.1 scoreless innings to pick up a save in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Brewers on Wednesday.

Keller walked Caleb Durbin on four pitches to load the bases upon entering the game before striking out Jake Bauers to pick up the final out of the eighth inning. The 30-year-old reliever then retired the side in order during the ninth to pick up his second save of the postseason and give the Cubs their first win of the NLDS.

Taillon took a no-decision against the Brewers in Game 3 of the NLDS on Wednesday after giving up two earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three batters over four innings.

The Brewers jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a sacrifice fly courtesy of Sal Frelick, but a four-run outburst from the Chicago's offense in the first inning gave Taillon and the Cubs all the runs they would need to prevail in Wednesday's contest. The right-hander's pitch count had climbed to 75 by the end of the fourth, so manager Craig Counsell pulled the plug early on his start, preventing him from leaving the ballpark with a win. If the Cubs are able to complete the series comeback, Taillon would likely be granted another start during the NLCS.

Priester took the loss in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Cubs on Wednesday after giving up four earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.

Although he took the mound in the first inning with a 1-0 lead, Priester was never able to settle into Wednesday's contest. He coughed up a leadoff homer to Michael Busch before allowing three of the next four batters he faced to reach base. A Pete Crow-Armstrong single brought in two more runs for Chicago and forced Brewers manager Pat Murphy to turn to Nick Mears, who allowed an inherited runner to score. Milwaukee's offense was unable to close the gap over the next eight frames, so the two sides will play another game at Wrigley Field on Thursday. Meanwhile, Priester will likely be kept off the mound for the remainder of the series.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional RBI and a stolen base during Wednesday's win over the Mariners in Game 4 of the ALDS.

Baez smacked an RBI single into left field to tie the game at 3-3 in the fifth inning. He then deposited an Eduard Bazardo offering into the left-field bleachers during the sixth to give the Tigers two more insurance runs en route to a convincing 9-3 victory. The 32-year-old is now 9-for-26 (.346) with a homer, five RBI and two runs scored through seven games in the postseason.

Miller took a no-decision in Game 4 of the ALDS versus the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and zero walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings.

Miller allowed just two men to reach base through four innings, and the Mariners' offense gave him a 3-0 lead to work with entering the bottom of the fifth. However, after giving up two hits and an RBI to the Tigers' first three batters in the fifth, the 27-year-old was pulled in favor of Gabe Speier, who allowed an inherited runner to score as well as another man he put on base himself. The Tigers went on to win the game by a 9-3 margin, so the M's will need to take Game 5 at home Friday for Miller to have any chance of making another appearance on the mound this postseason.

Mize didn't factor into the decision during Game 4 of the ALDS against Seattle on Wednesday. He gave up one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out six batters across three innings.

Doubles from Josh Naylor and Dominic Canzone allowed the Mariners to jump out to a 1-0 lead in the second inning, but Seattle wasn't able to generate much offense outside of that during Mize's brief time on the mound. The 28-year-old threw just 54 pitches Wednesday, but he will likely need the Tigers to advance to the ALCS in order to retake the mound during the postseason.

Manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's loss against Philadelphia in Game 3 of the NLDS that Scott wasn't available due to personal reasons, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Roberts didn't provide any details on when Scott may return, so it seems the Dodgers' bullpen will have to work around being slightly shorthanded for the time being. The 31-year-old lefty gave up six earned runs over 8.1 innings across the final month of the regular season and has yet to appear in a game this postseason.

Dominguez was credited with the win over the Yankees on Wednesday in Game 4 of the American League Division Series. He allowed one walk without a strikeout over 1.2 hitless and scoreless innings.

Dominguez followed Louis Varland and Mason Fluharty in a bullpen game for Toronto and ultimately earned the win, sending Toronto to the ALCS. Acquired from the Orioles at the trade deadline, Dominguez has fit in nicely with the Blue Jays. The veteran righty posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and eight holds in 21 regular-season innings after coming over from Baltimore, and he's now up to 3.1 scoreless innings this postseason.
