Crawford went 2-for-3 with a run in a win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Crawford posted one of two multi-hit efforts for the Mariners in the regular-season finale, ending what has been a tough campaign for him on a good note. The pair of knocks coaxed Crawford's batting average back over the Mendoza Line to .202, but all three components of his final batting line -- he also generated a .304 OBP and .321 slugging percentage -- qualified as career lows. The 29-year-old shortstop has been a fixture in Seattle since 2019 and is signed through the 2026 campaign, but he'll presumably need a notable uptick in production to hold on to his starting spot for another full season.

Bader will start in center field and bat ninth in the first game of Monday's doubleheader versus Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Bader had not started the last six games against right-handed pitching, but he's getting the call for this one versus righty Spencer Schwellenbach. Tyrone Taylor is handling right field and Starling Marte will begin the contest on the bench.

Winker is not in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Winker has now been out of the lineup for three straight contests, with the last two coming against right-handed pitching. The Mets will go with J.D. Martinez at designated hitter.

Marte is not in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Marte is in a 1-for-15 mini-slump over his last five games and has not homered since June 12. He will yield to Tyrone Taylor in right field for the first contest, with Harrison Bader patrolling center field.

Murphy is absent from the lineup in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud have alternated starts at catcher since d'Arnaud returned from paternity leave in mid-September. It will be d'Arnaud doing the catching and batting seventh in the first game Monday, with Murphy likely to get the nod for the second contest.

The Blue Jays optioned Rodriguez to their Florida Complex League affiliate Sunday.

Rodriguez had started Saturday's game, so the Blue Jays used his roster spot for some bullpen protection in Sunday's finale. The right-hander will be in the mix for a rotation spot in 2025 after posting a 4.47 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 85:40 K:BB across 86.2 innings in his first year with Toronto.

The Blue Jays recalled Eisert from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

Eisert was up as bullpen protection in the season finale and went two scoreless innings against the Marlins. Yariel Rodriguez was sent down in a corresponding move.

The Cubs transferred Merryweather (knee) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster. Merryweather underwent right knee surgery earlier this month to address tendinitis.

Weathers (5-6) allowed a run on three hits and two walks over 6.1 innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over Toronto.

Weathers loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning but escaped the threat unscathed. He didn't allow another runner into scoring position until Luis De Los Santos doubled and later scored in the seventh. At one point, Weathers retired 16 consecutive batters. He posted a 4.02 ERA over 15.2 innings after returning from a three-month stint on the injured list. Weathers finishes the 2024 season with a 3.63 ERA and an 80:24 K:BB through 86.2 frames.

Bender issued one walk over 1.1 scoreless innings Sunday, striking out two and earning a save against the Blue Jays.

Bender threw just 13 of 25 pitches for strikes but still closed out the 3-1 win without much trouble. It was his first outing of more than one inning pitched since July 26. Bender finishes his 2024 season at 5-2 with a 4.08 ERA, one save, 15 holds and a 59:18 K:BB through 53 frames.
