  • 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.

  • Drew Pomeranz RP | CHC

    Cubs' Drew Pomeranz: Opening Game 5

    Pomeranz will serve as the Cubs' opening pitcher Saturday in Game 5 of the NLDS versus Milwaukee, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Pomeranz has struck out five batters across five scoreless innings in the postseason so far, and the Cubs will now entrust him to collect the first several outs of Saturday's winner-take-all matchup. He most likely will come out of the game after the first inning, at which point Shota Imanaga could take over as the Cubs' bulk reliever.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Joins NLDS roster

    Wrobleski was added to the Dodgers' roster for the NLDS on Thursday.

    The 25-year-old lefty will serve as an injury replacement for Tanner Scott (lower body). Wrobleski finished the regular season with a 4.32 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 66.2 innings in the majors, so he likely won't see many high-leverage opportunities in the postseason.

  • Reed Garrett RP | NYM

    Mets' Reed Garrett: Undergoes UCL surgery on elbow

    Garrett underwent UCL reconstruction on his right elbow Wednesday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

    Garrett had hope to avoid UCL surgery and treat the injury with a platelet-rich plasma injection, but ultimately it was decided a reconstruction was the best course of action. The righty previously had an operation to move a nerve in his elbow, so he'll be recovering from dual surgeries on his pitching arm. Garrett will not be ready to pitch again until the 2027 season.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Removed from NLDS roster

    Scott (lower body) was replaced on the Dodgers' postseason roster by Justin Wrobleski on Thursday.

    Scott has yet to make an appearance in the postseason, and manager Dave Roberts revealed Thursday that the 31-year-old reliever underwent a lower-body abscess procedure Wednesday, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Scott's removal from the NLDS roster will also make him ineligible to pitch in the NLCS if the Dodgers advance, and his availability for a potential World Series berth remains unknown.

  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Diagnosed with flexor strain

    Suarez has been diagnosed with a mild flexor strain in his right forearm, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Suarez suffered the injury during his final appearance of the regular season Sept. 14. He's expected to begin a throwing program in the coming weeks. Suarez was limited to just 11.2 innings for the Orioles this season, with most of the missed time occurring due to a right shoulder strain.

  • Brad Keller RP | CHC

    Cubs' Brad Keller: Four-out save in Game 3

    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.
