  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Flounders again in loss

    Miller (4-6) took the loss in Sunday's contest against the Dodgers, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over four innings with two strikeouts.

    The Seattle right-hander's run of less-than-stellar work continued in his final outing of the regular season. Miller allowed all four runs on a pair of two-run homers -- Hyeseong Kim in the second and Freddie Freeman in the fourth -- as he wraps 2025 on a stretch of 12 consecutive starts allowing two or more earned runs. Over that span, Miller tallied just one quality start while pitching to a 6.79 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 59.2 frames. The Texas A&M product concludes his regular season with a 5.68 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 74:34 K:BB in 90.1 total innings.

  • Logan Evans RP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Evans: Sent down Sunday

    The Mariners optioned Evans to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Sunday.

    Evans threw three innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers in his return from the injured list in what marked his first career relief appearance in the majors. The 24-year-old put up a 4.32 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 59:31 K:BB over 81.1 spanning 16 appearances (15 starts) as a rookie during the regular season.

  • Angels' Sam Aldegheri: Gets nod for season finale

    Aldegheri is slated to start Sunday's game against the Astros in Anaheim.

    He'll take a second straight turn through the rotation to close out the season after he was dealt a loss Tuesday against the Royals last week. Through three appearances (one start) with the Angels this season, the young southpaw has allowed eight earned runs on 13 hits and seven walks while striking out seven over nine innings.

  • Sean Burke P | CHW

    White Sox's Sean Burke: Strikes out 10 in bulk role

    Burke did not factor into the decision Saturday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk across 4.1 relief innings. He struck out 10.

    Working in a bulk role, Burke logged a season-high 10 punchouts while allowing just a pair of runs on a Daylen Lile homer. The 25-year-old Burke was solid down the stretch, posting a 3.65 ERA over his last three appearances (12.1 innings). He'll finish the year at 4-11 with a 4.29 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 133 strikeouts across 134.1 innings.

  • Luis Morales SP | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Morales: Inefficient in loss

    Morales (4-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Royals on Saturday.

    Morales needed 101 pitches (59 strikes) in this outing, which was far from his best work of the year. Over his 10 appearances (nine starts) in the majors, the rookie right-hander maintained a 3.14 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 43:18 K:BB across 48.2 innings. Morales' body of work in 2025 was decent -- he also had a 10.3 K/9 over 47 innings with Triple-A Las Vegas despite a 4.40 ERA. He should be in contention for a rotation spot from the get-go in 2026.

  • Royals' Michael Wacha: Gets to 10-win mark

    Wacha (10-13) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out five over six scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday over the Athletics.

    Wacha was able to end the season on a high note with his first quality start in five outings. The veteran right-hander earned a decision in each of his last 10 starts, going 6-4 with a 4.55 ERA after the start of August. His year as a whole was a little better than that last stretch despite the poor record, as he finished 2025 with a 3.86 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 126:45 K:BB over 172.2 innings across 31 starts, though it was a slight step back from his work over the previous three seasons.

  • Logan Gilbert SP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Takes no-decision Saturday

    Gilbert allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Gilbert gave up a two-run home run to Dalton Rushing in the fifth inning. This was a somewhat limited start for Gilbert, who threw 48 of 75 pitches for strikes. The Mariners are locked into the No. 2 seed in the American League, so they had no need to push the right-hander. He'll finish the regular season at a 3.44 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 173:31 K:BB across 131 innings through 25 starts, and it's expected Gilbert will be part of the rotation for the ALDS.

  • Caden Dana SP | LAA

    Angels' Caden Dana: Goes seven innings in loss

    Dana (0-4) allowed five runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Astros.

    Dana had his longest start in the majors, and he was efficient in throwing 67 of 93 pitches for strikes. He still gave up three home runs, which accounted for all five runs on his line, matching his season high in runs allowed. The right-hander concludes the campaign with a 6.40 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 33:18 K:BB through 32.1 innings across seven appearances (five starts) in the majors. Dana will need to show better command to have a chance at securing a rotation spot on a full-time basis in 2026.

  • Astros' Lance McCullers: Starting in season finale

    McCullers will start Sunday's season finale against the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    McCullers was activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday after missing the minimum amount of time with right hand soreness. The Astros have been eliminated from postseason contention for the first time since 2016, so McCullers will likely have a long leash Sunday. He owns a 6.71 ERA over 52.1 innings in 15 appearances and had been demoted to the bullpen in late August before landing on the shelf. McCullers remains under contract through 2026, and with the Astros set to be without all of Hayden Wesneski, Ronel Blanco, Luis Garcia and Brandon Walter for the majority or entirety of next season while the quartet recovers from elbow surgeries, McCullers stands a good chance of being included in the Opening Day rotation coming out of spring training.

  • Guardians' Logan Allen: Drawing start in crucial finale

    Allen will start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rangers, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Allen will toe the rubber for Cleveland with an opportunity for the team to win the AL Central on Sunday with a victory. The southpaw has posted an impressive 2.00 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 18 innings in three starts in September. With Allen on the mound Sunday, Gavin Williams is expected to take the ball for Game 1 of the Guardians' wild-card series Tuesday.
