  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Stuck with loss in final outing

    McGreevy (8-4) took the loss Saturday, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings as the Cardinals were downed 7-3 by the Cubs. He struck out three.

    A pair of homers by Michael Busch accounted for all the damage off McGreevy, who got the hook after 88 pitches (56 strikes). The loss was only the second for the right-hander since the beginning of August, and over his final 11 starts of 2025 he went 6-2 with a 4.16 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 39:15 K:BB in 62.2 innings, staking a solid claim to a spot in St. Louis' 2026 rotation.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Set for shortened start

    Glasnow is expected to pitch between three and five innings in Saturday's start against Seattle, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Glasnow will be held back slightly in his final regular-season start of the year, and his outing will depend on how far he's gotten when he reaches the team's designated pitch count for him Saturday. Andrew Heaney is expected to take the mound following Glasnow and soak up the extra innings that Glasnow would've likely handled.

  • Sean Manaea SP | NYM

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Starting Sunday

    Manaea will start Sunday's game against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Manaea will toe the rubber for the Mets' all-important final regular-season contest. The left-hander has struggled to a 7.64 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 17.2 innings in five appearances, including three starts, in September. It's possible that Manaea will be on a short leash versus Miami considering New York is on the postseason bubble, making him an unpredictable fantasy asset in Game 162.

  • Kyle Freeland SP | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Logs quality start in loss

    Freeland (5-17) took the loss against the Giants on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings.

    It was a tough loss for Freeland, whose lone (but crucial) blemish came in the third inning, when he yielded a three-run homer to Casey Schmitt. Freeland will end the season with 17 losses, which is the most of his career and would lead the majors at the end of the season unless the Nationals' Mitchell Parker (9-16) were to take a loss out of the bullpen. Freeland will end the 2025 season with a 4.98 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 124:38 K:BB across 162.2 innings.

  • Jake Irvin SP | WAS

    Nationals' Jake Irvin: Goes six innings in no-decision

    Irvin allowed four runs on six hits and a walk across six innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the White Sox. He struck out six.

    All of the damage against Irvin came via a pair of two-run home runs in the fourth inning -- Irvin's given up 38 homers this season, the most in the majors. After going 7-5 with a 4.58 ERA in the first half of the season, Irvin went just 2-8 while struggling to a 7.73 ERA across 13 starts (64 innings) following the All-Star break. Overall, he'll finish the year with a 5.70 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 124 strikeouts across 33 starts (180 innings).

  • Giants' Justin Verlander: Ends 2025 season strong

    Verlander (4-11) earned the win against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven across six innings.

    Verlander got off to a shaky start by yielding solo home runs to Hunter Goodman and Brenton Doyle in the first and second innings, respectively. The veteran right-hander managed to settle in to keep the Rockies off the board for the rest of his outing, and he finished his quality start with 17 whiffs on 92 pitches. Verlander struggled in the first half of the season, failing to log a win while posting a 4.70 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 76.2 innings prior to the All-Star break. However, the three-time Cy Young winner came alive after the break, going 4-4 across 14 starts with an impressive 2.99 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 70:26 K:BB over 75.1 frames. Verlander will turn 43 in February but intends to continue his storied major-league career in 2026, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

  • Ranger Suarez SP | PHI

    Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Exits early Saturday

    Suarez (thigh) exited Saturday's contest against the Twins in the fifth inning, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Suarez was hit in the groin area by a comebacker in the top of the fifth, ultimately leaving the contest thereafter. The left-hander was laughing as he walked off, and the team deemed it to be an inner-thigh contusion on his left leg. More information on his status will likely be provided in the near future, but in the meantime, Max Lazar replaced him on the mound versus Minnesota.

  • Clay Holmes SP | NYM

    Mets' Clay Holmes: Silences Marlins in 12th win

    Holmes (12-8) earned the win Saturday against the Marlins, allowing one hit and three walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out two.

    With the Mets' backs against the wall in a heated wild-card race, Holmes came through with one of his best performances of the season. It was the first time all year that the right-hander fired at least six shutout innings, and he induced 11 groundouts on just 78 pitches. New York had to manage Holmes' workload down the stretch of his first full campaign as a starter, but it's still been a successful transition overall. He'll close the regular season with a 3.53 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 129:66 K:BB over a career-high 165.2 frames.

  • Eury Perez SP | MIA

    Marlins' Eury Perez: Mixed results in sixth loss

    Perez (7-6) took the loss Saturday against the Mets, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out 11.

    It was a mixed bag for Perez, who struggled with hard contact by yielding three extra-base hits but fanned a season-high 11. The hard-throwing right-hander had an up-and-down year after a late start amid his recovery from 2024 Tommy John surgery, though he flashed plenty of upside for fantasy managers to take into consideration ahead of 2026. Perez will end the campaign with a 4.25 ERA across 95.1 innings, but his 1.05 WHIP, 105:32 K:BB and .195 opponent batting average are highly promising figures.

  • Nick Frasso SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Nick Frasso: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Dodgers transferred Frasso (undisclosed) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

    It's unknown what kind of injury Frasso is currently dealing with, but his move to the 60-day IL will open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Andrew Heaney, whose contract was selected by the Dodgers in a corresponding move. Frasso spent the entire season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, logging a 5.49 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 77 innings.
