Zac Gallen SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Falters in last start of season
Gallen (12-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings against the Brewers. He struck out six.
Gallen was not at his best Tuesday as he allowed two home runs for the only the second time this season and completed fewer than six innings for just the second time in his last 11 starts. The three walks allowed also tied his season high. Despite the rough go to end the year, his season was one to remember. He wraps up the campaign with a 2.54 ERA and 192 strikeouts over 184 innings.

Eric Lauer SP | LAD
Brewers' Eric Lauer: Six no-hit innings to end season
Lauer (11-7) earned the win Tuesday, allowing no hits and four walks over six scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out seven.
In his last start of the season, Lauer turned one of his best, as he did not allow a hit for the first time in 2022. Despite the no-hit possibility, the southpaw was pulled after six innings, as he walked four batters and his pitch count ran up to 97.

Noah Davis SP | PIT
Rockies' Noah Davis: Back with big-league club
Davis was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old didn't make his big-league debut while up with the Rockies for a week in September, but he'll rejoin the active roster for the final stretch of the season with Chad Kuhl (triceps) headed to the injured list. Davis posted a 5.41 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 154:62 K:BB in 138 innings between Double-A Hartford and Albuquerque this year, and he's a candidate to fill Kuhl's spot in the starting rotation for Wednesday's season finale against the Dodgers.

J.T. Brubaker RP | SF
Pirates' JT Brubaker: Lasts 2.2 innings Tuesday
Brubaker (arm) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two in an 8-7 extra-inning loss Tuesday against St. Louis. He did not factor into the decision.
In his first start since Sept. 15, Brubaker cruised through the first two innings, allowing one walk. In the third, he gave up four singles and three runs came around to score before he was removed with two outs. It was an up-and-down season for the 28-year-old but he finished the year with a career-best 4.69 ERA, 144 innings pitched and 147 strikeouts.

Jack Flaherty SP | DET
Cardinals' Jack Flaherty: Tosses one relief inning Tuesday
Flaherty struck out one and allowed a hit in one relief inning in an 8-7 extra-inning win Tuesday in Pittsburgh. He did not factor into the decision.
Flaherty was expected to throw multiple innings and roughly 45 pitches Tuesday but ended up tossing just 19 pitches in his one frame. Since returning from a shoulder injury at the beginning of September, he has a 3.86 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB in 28 innings across six appearances. He is likely to get the start in Game 3 of the NL Wild Card series if that game is necessary.

Braxton Garrett SP | CHC
Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Ineffective in final start of 2022
Garrett (3-7) was tagged with the loss after he pitched 4.2 innings, surrendering two runs on six hits and five walks while striking out seven Tuesday versus Atlanta.
Garrett struggled to keep Atlanta off the basepaths, allowing 11 to reach base in the contest. He gave up one run in the second inning before William Contreras notched an RBI single in the top of the fifth, ending the left-hander's day with two outs in the frame. Garrett allowed two or fewer runs for the fifth consecutive start, finishing the season with a 3.58 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while striking out 90 batters over 88 innings in 17 starts.

Jake Odorizzi SP | TB
Braves' Jake Odorizzi: Finishes regular season strong
Odorizzi (6-6) got the win after he tossed five innings, giving up one run on two hits and a walk while striking out seven in Tuesday's victory against the Marlins.
Odorizzi pitched three scoreless frames to open Tuesday's outing before surrendering a solo home run to Jesus Sanchez in the fourth inning. The long ball accounted for the only blemish on his line while his seven strikeouts were his highest total since Aug. 22. The right-hander will finish the regular season with a 4.40 ERA and 1.33 WHIP while striking out 86 batters over 106.1 innings in 22 starts.

Carlos Rodon SP | NYY
Giants' Carlos Rodon: Moves to injured list
Rodon was feeling under the weather Tuesday and was placed on the 15-day injured list, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The left-hander was originally slated to start Tuesday but instead had his final turn through the rotation skipped with the Giants already eliminated from postseason contention, and the team opted to move him to the IL to free up a spot on the active roster. Alex Cobb is pitching against the Padres in his place. Rodon closed out the year with a 2.88 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 237:52 K:BB across a career-high 178 innings, and he's likely to decline his player option for 2023 and become a free agent during the offseason.

Mike Clevinger RP | PIT
Padres' Mike Clevinger: Short start on tap
Clevinger is scheduled to start Wednesday against the Giants, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
The 31-year-old seemingly made his final start of the regular season with a quality start Saturday against the White Sox, but he'll take the mound Wednesday on three days rest for a short tune-up ahead of the playoffs. Clevinger won't be included in the Padres' potential rotation plans until the NLDS, and it's unclear if he'll be included on the roster as a bullpen option for the wild-card round.

Alex Cobb SP | DET
Giants' Alex Cobb: Moving up to start Tuesday
Cobb will start Tuesday's game against the Padres instead of Wednesday as previously scheduled, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The 34-year-old lined up to start Wednesday's series finale but will be pushed up a day with Carlos Rodon having his final turn through the rotation skipped for workload management. Cobb made his previous start Friday, so he could have reduced workload Tuesday while pitching on three days rest.
