Quintana will start Friday's NLCS Game 4 against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The veteran lefty became the obvious choice to take the ball in Game 4 after the Brewers opted to go with Aaron Ashby as the opener and Jacob Misiorowski as the bulk reliever in Game 3. Quintana has made one appearance so far this postseason, tossing three scoreless innings in NLDS Game 3 versus the Cubs. He'll be tasked Friday with helping the Brewers stave off elimination.

Sasaki did not allow a baserunner while striking out one across a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Game 3 of the NLCS on Thursday against the Brewers.

Sasaki was called upon for the first time since stumbling in the ninth inning in Game 1 of the NLCS. He rebounded Thursday, successfully protecting a two-run lead while retiring the side on just 13 pitches. Sasaki has three saves in the postseason, allowing only one earned run across seven innings of work with a 6:2 KBB.

Glasnow allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out eight across 5.2 innings in Game 3 of the NLCS on Thursday against the Brewers. He did not factor in the decision.

Glasnow gave up a pair of hits in the second inning to account for the only run against him, and the only baserunners he allowed thereafter came via walk. He also went through stretches of retiring seven and six consecutive hitters, getting the better end of a pitcher's duel with Jacob Misiorowski. Glasnow has now turned in a 0.68 ERA over 13.1 innings with an 18:8 K:BB this postseason.

Misiorowski (2-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out nine across five innings to take the loss in Game 3 of the NLCS on Thursday against the Dodgers.

Misiorowski was set for bulk-relief duties, though he entered the game with only one out in the first inning after Aaron Ashby faltered. Misiorowski picked the Brewers up, holding the Dodgers in check until his final inning of work, when he surrendered a walk and two singles to allow the game-winning runs to score. He was otherwise dominant, racking up 14 swinging strikes on 73 pitches while also generating four groundball outs. Misiorowski has had an impressive postseason, allowing just two earned runs across 12 innings while maintaining a 16:3 K:BB.

Cortes (biceps) underwent surgery to repair a tendon tear in his left arm Thursday and will be sidelined for 9-to-10 months, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Cortes landed on the injured list Sept. 5 with a biceps injury. He was ramping up for a potential return through the end of the month, though he apparently suffered a setback or was rediagnosed. Cortes will now be set to miss at least the first half of the 2026 season.

Quintana is likely to pitch in Game 4 of the NLCS versus the Dodgers on Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Quintana had been a candidate to see work in Game 3, but the Brewers will go with Aaron Ashby as the opener and Jacob Misiorowski as the bulk reliever Thursday. It's unclear whether Quintana will make a traditional start or serve in a bulk relief role Friday, but in either case he'll likely soak up most of the innings for Milwaukee in Game 4. The veteran southpaw tossed three scoreless innings out of the bullpen in NLDS Game 3 against the Cubs in his lone appearance this postseason.

Misiorowski is expected to follow opener Aaron Ashby as a bulk reliever in Thursday's NLCS Game 3 against the Dodgers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Misiorowski has yet to pitch in the NLCS after tossing seven innings of one-run ball with a 7:2 K:BB across two NLDS appearances versus the Cubs. He will be on four days' rest after throwing 54 pitches over four frames in NLDS Game 5, so the hard-throwing right-hander should be prepared to provide plenty of length.

Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said Wednesday that Horton (rib) was going to be on the NLCS roster if the team advanced, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Horton exited his final regular-season start with a right rib fracture and was not on the wild-card or NLDS rosters, but he appears to be healthy now and is expected to have a relatively normal offseason. The rookie right-hander collected a 2.67 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 97:33 K:BB over 118 regular-season innings for the Cubs.

Yamamoto picked up the win Tuesday against the Brewers in Game 2 of the NLCS, giving up one run on three hits and a walk while striking out seven batters over nine innings.

Jackson Chourio sent Yamamoto's first pitch over the right-field wall to give Milwaukee a quick 1-0 lead. That would prove to be the only mistake the 27-year-old right-hander made Tuesday, as he allowed just three men to reach base for the rest of the game while recording all 27 outs by himself on only 111 pitches. The earliest that Yamamoto could potentially be called upon to make his next start would be Game 6, but that may not be necessary with the Dodgers already up two games to none as the series moves to Los Angeles.

Peralta took the loss in Game 2 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing three earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings.

The 29-year-old righty took the mound in the second inning with a 1-0 lead but watched it quickly disappear courtesy of a solo home run from Teoscar Hernandez and an RBI double from Andy Pages. Peralta did a good job of settling in afterward and kept the game close for the next several innings, but he was eventually pulled after coughing up another solo shot to Max Muncy in the sixth. If Milwaukee can rally and take a couple of games from the Dodgers on the road, Peralta may be able to take the mound again in Game 6 or 7.
