Dillon Peters RP | PIT
Marlins' Dillon Peters: Earns first career win
Peters (1-2) pitched 5.2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts to take the win against Atlanta on Thursday. He allowed two hits and four walks.
Peters has flashed some upside through his six starts in the majors this year, but with a 5.17 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 7.8 K/9, he won't be a fantasy priority in many settings heading into the 2018 season. Still, the 25-year-old lefty skipped the Triple-A level entirely en route to Miami, so with more seasoning in the minors, he could resurface as a serviceable asset sooner than later.

Brent Suter RP | ATL
Brewers' Brent Suter: Sixth-inning struggles deny win
Suter allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four batters through five innings during Thursday's win over Cincinnati. He didn't factor into the decision.
Suter kept the Reds in check and entered the sixth inning with a 6-1 lead. Unfortunately, he was pulled after failing to retire a single batter in the sixth frame and was charged with two more runs to land the no-decision. The 28-year-old lefty pitched well when given an opportunity this year, and unless he receives a surprise relief appearance, Suter will finish 2018 with a 3.42 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 7.1 K/9 through 81.2 innings.

Cardinals' Alex Reyes: Set for bullpen session Friday
Reyes (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, Jim Hayes of FOX Sports Midwest reports.
This will mark Reyes' first bullpen session since undergoing Tommy John surgery in February. He'll continue to ramp up his activity in the coming months as he looks to gain his arm strength back. The promising prospect is hoping to be healthy enough to participate in a portion of spring training next year.

Cory Gearrin RP | NYY
Giants' Cory Gearrin: Notches eighth hold Wednesday
Gearrin walked two and struck out three over a scoreless inning en route to his eighth hold of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Arizona.
Gearrin owns a 2.01 ERA on the year, but he has been especially dominant over his last eight outings, giving up no hits or runs while notching five holds over that span. The 31-year-old's control remains an issue (4.7 BB/9), but he has been able to offset that with solid strikeout totals (8.3 K/9). The Giants will face the offensively challenged Padres this weekend, so Gearrin could be in line for another hold or two before the season comes to a close.

Robert Gsellman RP | WAS
Mets' Robert Gsellman: Ends rough season on positive note
Gsellman (8-7) held the Braves to a single run on six hits and a walk over six innings en route to a 7-1 win Wednesday. He struck out four.
This was a hard season for Gsellman, but at least he was able to finish on a strong note even if his final numbers -- a 5.19 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 82:42 K:BB over 119.2 innings -- can best be described as fantasy poison. He'll have the whole offseason now to figure out where things went wrong in 2017.

Hector Neris RP | HOU
Phillies' Hector Neris: Collects 26th save Wednesday
Neris struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to notch his 26th save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Nationals.
He hasn't blown a save since June 21, converting 20 straight opportunities, and Neris is finishing the season on a high note, posting a 2.77 ERA and 20:4 K:BB through 13 innings in September. The 28-year-old should head into next spring with a lock on the Phillies' closer spot.

Mark Leiter RP | ATH
Phillies' Mark Leiter: Escapes with no-decision Wednesday
Leiter allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.1 innings Wednesday but was able to escape with a no-decision in a 7-5 win over the Nationals. He struck out five.
He was on the hook for a loss after getting chased from the game in a three-run fifth inning, but the Phillies responded with three runs of their own in the bottom half of the frame to re-take the lead. Leiter finishes the year with a 4.96 ERA in the majors, and he'll head into next spring looking to prove he deserves a regular spot in the Phillies rotation rather than returning to a swing man role.

Justin Wilson RP | BOS
Cubs' Justin Wilson: Dealing with sore neck
Wilson is dealing with a sore neck, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
He says the neck issues did not contribute to his struggles Tuesday (two walks, zero outs). It is unclear when Wilson will next pitch out of the bullpen, but the Cubs will want to make sure he is right heading into the postseason.

Dinelson Lamet RP | LAD
Padres' Dinelson Lamet: Controls wavers Tuesday
Lamet (7-8) took the loss against the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and six walks over five innings while striking out seven.
The rookie wraps up his first big-league campaign with a 4.57 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 139:54 K:BB through 114.3 innings with San Diego. Lamet's strikeout potential could land him on a number of 2018 sleeper lists, but the 25-year-old will need to sharpen his command and control if he's going to have any kind of breakout next year.

Matt Moore RP | BOS
Giants' Matt Moore: Drilled by D-backs on Tuesday
Moore (6-15) took the loss Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, coughing up eight runs (seven earned) on five hits and three walks over only 1.1 innings.
He'll be grateful not to have to face J.D. Martinez again this year, after the slugger ripped a two-run double off Moore in the first inning and then followed it up with a grand slam in the second that chased him from the game. The lefty wraps up a disappointing campaign that mirrors the Giants' season as a whole, posting a 5.52 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 148:67 K:BB through 174.1 innings while setting a new career high in losses.
