  • Sammy Peralta RP | LAA

    Brewers' Sammy Peralta: Claimed off waivers by Brewers

    The Brewers claimed Peralta off waivers from the Angels on Tuesday.

    Peralta has made 30 relief appearances at the major-league level, collecting a 5.12 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 37:24 K:BB across 45.2 innings of work. The 27-year-old has some experience in the minors as a starting pitcher, but he'll most likely serve as left-handed relief depth for Milwaukee.

    Brewers' Shelby Miller: Requires UCL, flexor surgery

    Miller is likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2026 season after undergoing UCL and flexor tendon surgery Oct. 13, MLB.com reports.

    Miller had been hopeful of a less invasive procedure that would give him a chance to return before the end of the 2026 campaign, but ultimately he's unlikely to pitch again until 2027. It's the second UCL repair for Miller, who had Tommy John surgery in May 2017. He's an impending free agent after posting a 2.74 ERA and 54:15 K:BB over 46 innings between the Diamondbacks and Brewers this season.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Hoping to be on World Series roster

    Scott (lower body) has been throwing and hopes to be included on the Dodgers' World Series roster, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    Scott has not made an appearance this postseason after undergoing a lower-body abscess procedure earlier this month. It's unclear whether he will be built back up enough to be included on the roster for the World Series, which begins Friday. Scott paced the Dodgers with 23 saves during the regular season, but he had an up-and-down campaign, finishing with a 4.74 ERA and 60:18 K:BB over 57 frames.

  • Jose Alvarado RP | PHI

    Phillies' Jose Alvarado: Expected back with Phillies in 2026

    Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said Thursday he would be "surprised" if Alvarado (forearm) is not back next season, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    The Phillies have a $9.5 million club option on Alvarado for 2026, and while Dombrowski did not confirm the option would be exercised, it seems that is the most likely scenario. Alvarado served an 80-game PED suspension and also missed time late in the year with a forearm injury, resulting in him appearing in only 28 games. The lefty remained effective when on the bump, posting a 3.81 ERA and 32:7 K:BB over 26 innings. It's not clear whether the forearm issue will affect Alvarado's offseason throwing, but Dombrowski did not mention any health concerns with the reliever moving forward.

  • Aaron Ashby RP | MIL

    Brewers' Aaron Ashby: Will be NLCS Game 3 opener

    Ashby will serve as the Brewers' opening pitcher in Thursday's Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Ashby tossed a scoreless frame as the opener in NLCS Game 1 and will get another opportunity to open in Game 3 as the series moves to Los Angeles. He's expected to be followed by Jacob Misiorowski, who is in line to eat up most of the innings for the Brewers as a bulk reliever.

  • Padres' Adrian Morejon: Move into rotation not ruled out

    Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller said Tuesday that the organization will have conversations soon about the possibility of moving Morejon into the starting rotation in 2026, 97.3 The Fan reports.

    Morejon boasts a 2.42 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 141:38 K:BB over 137.1 regular-season innings as a full-time reliever since the start of the 2024 campaign. He was often used as a starting pitcher earlier in his career, though, and the Padres could have a clear need in the rotation next season if Dylan Cease and Michael King depart in free agency. San Diego is also mulling shifting Mason Miller into the rotation.

  • Mason Miller RP | SD

    Padres' Mason Miller: Role in 2026 undetermined

    Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller said Tuesday that the team will discuss in the coming weeks whether Miller will remain in the bullpen or move into the starting rotation next season, 97.3 The Fan reports.

    Miller has been a full-time reliever the last two seasons and has been arguably the best bullpen arm in the game during that span, collecting a 2.56 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 43.1 percent strikeout rate over 115 regular-season appearances. If the Padres elect to keep him in a relief role, he would likely take over as closer, as incumbent Robert Suarez is expected to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract and become a free agent. However, Miller has past experience as a starter and the club could try him in that role, particularly if it loses both Dylan Cease and Michael King in free agency.

  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Comes through for one-out save

    Treinen picked up the save after issuing one walk and striking out one in one-third of an inning during Monday's 2-1 win over the Brewers in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.

    Treinen was called upon in a sticky situation after Roki Sasaki failed to shut down Milwaukee in the bottom of the ninth, taking the mound with runners on first and third and two outs in a one-run game. The veteran reliever responded by walking William Contreras, then retiring Brice Turang via the strikeout with the bases loaded to secure the Game 1 victory. Treinen has had his struggles down the stretch of the regular season and into the postseason, melting down to allow two runs on three hits while failing to retire a batter in Game 3 of the NLDS against Philly, but he's shown flashes of reliability and could be deployed in a future NLCS save opportunity now that Sasaki's confidence has likely taken a hit.

  • Aaron Ashby RP | MIL

    Brewers' Aaron Ashby: Serving as NLCS Game 1 opener

    Ashby will be the Brewers' opening pitcher Monday in Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Ashby struggled as the opener in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Cubs, yielding three runs over 1.2 innings. However, lefties slashed just .193/.299/.241 against the southpaw during the regular season, so it makes sense to use Ashby in this spot to face Shohei Ohtani and likely Freddie Freeman. Quinn Priester is expected to provide bulk relief for the Brewers in Game 1.

  • Tobias Myers RP | MIL

    Brewers' Tobias Myers: Added to roster for NLCS

    Myers is included on the Brewers' NLCS roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Myers was not on the Brewers' NLDS roster, but he pitched well for the big club this season when used in relief, holding a 1.91 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 20:3 K:BB over 28.1 innings. The righty offers more length in the bullpen than the guy he's replacing on the roster, Nick Mears.
