White Sox's Elvis Peguero: Cleared off 40-man roster
The White Sox outrighted Peguero (elbow) to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Peguero finished the season on the 15-day injured list with a strained right elbow, though he did not require surgery and should be ready for spring training, barring any setbacks. He's no longer on the 40-man roster but could be in spring training with the White Sox as a non-roster invitee.

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.

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.

Brewers' Nick Mears: Not included on NLCS roster
Mears is not on the Brewers' NLCS roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Mears made three scoreless appearances during the NLDS and posted a 3.49 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 46:13 K:BB over 56.2 innings during the regular season, so his exclusion from the NLCS roster comes as a surprise. His spot is being absorbed by Tobias Myers, who will offer the Brewers more length in the bullpen.

Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Added to roster for NLCS
The Dodgers added Casparius to their NLCS roster Monday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Casparius spent the last few weeks of the regular season in the minors and was left off the Dodgers' roster for the first two rounds of the postseason, but he'll give manager Dave Roberts another bullpen arm for the NLCS. The 26-year-old collected a 4.64 ERA and 71:21 K:BB across 77.2 innings during his time with the big club this season.

Gordon Graceffo RP | STL
Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Will remain in relief role
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said in late September that he anticipates Graceffo remaining in a relief role next season, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Graceffo began 2025 in the rotation at Triple-A Memphis, but he was shifted to the bullpen in early May and that's where he remained for the remainder of the season, both during his time in the majors and minors. He finished with a 6.28 ERA, but a 2.93 FIP and 3.71 SIERA suggests Graceffo was unlucky from an ERA perspective. The 25-year-old plans to alter his offseason workouts as he moves to a full-time relief role, and the hope is that it will help his stuff play up.

Mariners' Andres Munoz: Notches save in Game 1 of ALCS
Munoz pitched a perfect ninth inning on his way to a save in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the ALCS.
Munoz was called upon to protect the team's two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth, throwing seven of his eight pitches for strikes while setting down the side in order. The right-hander has now pitched 6.1 scoreless innings, allowing two walks and no hits while striking out five batters and notching two saves over five appearances this postseason.

Brewers' Abner Uribe: Converts two-inning save in Game 5
Uribe notched a save Saturday against the Cubs in Game 5 of the NLDS, walking one batter and allowing no hits over two scoreless innings.
Uribe entered in the eighth inning with the Brewers holding a 3-1 lead. He walked the second batter he faced but didn't allow any other Chicago baserunners as he finished off the win and Milwaukee's first postseason series victory since 2018. This was Uribe's second appearance of the NLDS, and altogether he pitched three scoreless and hitless frames while posting a 3:1 K:BB. The right-hander should again have a critical high-leverage role for the Brewers in the NLCS against the Dodgers.

Trevor Megill RP | MIL
Brewers' Trevor Megill: Opening Game 5
Megill will open Game 5 of the NLDS against the Cubs on Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The Brewers have allowed the Cubs to score in the first inning of all four games in the series so far, so manager Pat Murphy will send his All-Star closer to the mound to try to break that trend in the series finale. After Megill is pulled from the game, Jacob Misiorowski is expected to pitch multiple innings out of the bullpen.
