    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Managing sore side

    Glasnow was dealing with side soreness during Friday's Game 6 of the World Series, Fabian Ardaya of The Athleticreports.

    Glasnow was called upon to close Friday's contest after Roki Sasaki opened the frame and allowed runners to reach second and third base without getting an out. Glasnow got the job done, getting two outs on three pitches thanks in part to a game-ending double play on a lineout to left field. Glasnow is expected to pitch in Game 7 on Saturday, but the side issue could impact how many pitches he throws. Shohei Ohtani is starting the contest for Los Angeles but probably won't log a full workload given that he'll be working on three days of rest.

  • Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Quality start in Game 6 win

    Yamamoto picked up the win Friday in Game 6 of the World Series against the Blue Jays, allowing one earned run on five hits and a walk while striking out six batters over six innings.

    Although Yamamoto wasn't able to record a third straight complete game, he still proved to be as dominant as ever in Game 6, allowing just one run on a George Springer RBI single in the third. Yamamoto seemed to be at risk of allowing a few more runs in the sixth after giving up a two-out double to Vladimir Guerrero and walking Bo Bichette, but a well-timed strikeout of Daulton Varsho allowed the right-hander to escape the inning unscathed. The Japanese All-Star will almost certainly be unavailable for Saturday's series finale after throwing 96 pitches Friday, so he'll likely finish his second MLB postseason with a 1.56 ERA and 0.78 WHIP alongside a 32:5 K:BB after 34.2 innings.

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Takes second World Series loss

    Snell took the loss in Game 5 of the World Series against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, giving up five earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out seven batters across 6.2 innings.

    It seemed like the 32-year-old lefty was going to be in for a rough start early after two of his first three pitches were hit over the left field wall by Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero. Snell managed to settle in afterward and kept Toronto's offense at bay for the next several innings, but the Dodgers' bats also failed to come alive against Toronto starter Trey Yesavage. After allowing two men to reach base and throwing a pair of wild pitches in the seventh, Snell was pulled for Edgardo Henriquez, who allowed both inherited runners to score and didn't record an out. After cruising through his first three postseason outings, Snell has now given up 10 earned runs in 11.2 innings during the World Series. He's expected to be available out of the bullpen if the Dodgers force a Game 7.

  • Mets' Christian Scott: Will be full-go for spring training

    Scott (elbow) expects to be a full participant during spring training, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Recovering from a hybrid Tommy John and internal brace procedure on his right elbow, Scott was scheduled to throw a live bullpen session Tuesday. It was the fourth time he's faced hitters since the September 2024 surgery and the second time he's done so on a five-day schedule. The righty said he's been sitting around 94 mph and touching 96 mph during his bullpen sessions. Scott will now go through a de-loading period before ramping his throwing back up in January. While Scott could be slow-played at the start of spring training following a long layoff, he should be ready to go for the start of the regular season. A spot in the Opening Day rotation is unlikely, but the 26-year-old could be part of the Mets' rotation at some point in 2026.

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Roughed up in Game 3

    Glasnow didn't factor into the decision during Monday's Game 3 of the World Series against the Blue Jays after allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings.

    Glasnow looked sharp to begin the outing and retired the side in order in the first inning. He found trouble in the second inning but managed to navigate through traffic by picking off Bo Bichette at first base. Glasnow's disaster inning came in the fourth, when he surrendered a three-run home run to Alejandro Kirk, followed by two singles and a sacrifice fly to plate the fourth run of the frame. The Dodgers were able to battle back and tie the matchup to get Glasnow off the hook for the loss, eventually pushing across the winning run in the bottom of the 18th inning to tie the longest game in World Series history. The right-hander would likely be available to start in a Game 7 if necessary.

  • Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Tosses another complete game

    Yamamoto (3-1) earned the win over Toronto in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over nine innings.

    Yamamoto's outing got off to a shaky start, as he gave up a double and a single to the first two batters he faced to put runners on the corners for Toronto. However, the right-hander was able to wiggle his way out of the frame without getting scored upon, thanks in part to a key strikeout of Vladimir Guerrero. Yamamoto was touched up for a run in the third on a hit-by-pitch, single and sacrifice fly, but that was the last time the Blue Jays put a runner on base against him. The Japanese hurler finished his outing by retiring 20 consecutive batters, establishing a Dodgers postseason record, per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com. In addition, Yamamoto -- who also hurled a complete game against Milwaukee in Game 2 of the NLCS -- became the first Dodger to toss back-to-back postseason complete games since Orel Hershiser in 1988 and the first pitcher on any team to do so since Curt Schilling in 2001.

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Struggles in Game 1 loss

    Snell took the loss in Game 1 of the World Series against Toronto on Friday after giving up five earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five-plus innings.

    Snell had been dominant during Los Angeles' postseason run, but the left-hander struggled with his command Friday. He allowed six men to reach base over the first three innings before giving up a game-tying two-run homer to Daulton Varsho in the fourth. The score remained even until the bottom of the sixth, at which point Snell walked Bo Bichette, gave up a single to Alejandro Kirk and hit Varsho with a pitch before coming out of the game without recording an out. The Dodgers' bullpen allowed all three inherited runners to score, kicking off what would be a nine-run outburst from the Jays in an eventual 11-4 victory. Assuming Toronto doesn't pull off the sweep, Snell is expected to take the mound again in Game 5.

  • Brewers' Logan Henderson: Clean bill of health

    The Brewers deemed Henderson (elbow) to be fully healthy at the end of the season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Henderson's season came to an early end after being diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow in early August, but the team has now confirmed the young right-hander made a full recovery and should have a normal offseason. The 23-year-old turned a few heads by posting a 1.79 ERA and 0.99 WHIP alongside a 33:8 K:BB across 25.1 innings during his five regular-season starts with Milwaukee, and he figures to have a strong chance to make the Brewers' Opening Day rotation in 2026.

  • Justin Steele SP | CHC

    Cubs' Justin Steele: Begins throwing program

    Steele (elbow) began a throwing program Monday, the pitcher posted from his X account.

    The left-hander was cleared to throw on flat ground for the first time since undergoing UCL revision surgery in April. A firm timetable for Steele's readiness to pitch in games isn't clear, but he's likely to get a late start to next season. The left-hander boasts a 3.18 ERA and 458:128 K:BB over 449.2 innings since the beginning of the 2022 campaign.

  • Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Expected to be ready for spring

    Woodruff (lat) is expected to be 100 percent well ahead of spring training, MLB.com reports.

    Woodruff didn't pitch after being diagnosed with a moderate right lat strain in late September. The injury is unrelated to his previous shoulder surgery, and the expectation is that he'll be fine after some rest. Woodruff and the Brewers have a $20 million mutual option for 2026 that carries a $10 million buyout. He pitched very well in 2025 when able to toe the rubber, collecting a 3.20 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 83:14 K:BB over 64.2 innings covering 12 starts. Woodruff will turn 33 in February and will remain a major injury risk heading into 2026.
