    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Could receive injection for elbow

    Miller will have a follow-up appointment soon with Dr. Keith Meister to determine the next steps for treatment of a small bone spur in his right elbow, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.

    Miller received a platelet-rich plasma injection in early June after being diagnosed with a bone spur in his pitching elbow. He returned in August and was healthy for the rest of the regular season and playoffs, saying "the best I felt all year" was at the end of the season. Miller is not expected to require surgery, but he could be given a cortisone injection during his follow-up appointment and perhaps an additional one at the start of spring training. The 27-year-old had a disappointing regular season for the Mariners, posting a 5.68 ERA and 74:34 K:BB over 90.1 innings covering 18 starts.

    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.

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Historic performance in Game 5

    Yesavage (3-1) picked up the win in Game 5 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing one earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out 12 batters in seven innings.

    Outside of the third-inning solo homer he gave up to Enrique Hernandez, Yesavage's performance Wednesday was nothing short of brilliant versus one of baseball's most dynamic offenses. The 22-year-old righty pounded the strike zone, throwing 71 of his 104 pitches for strikes, and he finished the night with a dozen punchouts -- the most any rookie has had in a World Series game. Now carrying a 3.46 ERA in the postseason, Yesavage is done starting games in 2025, but he's expected to be available out of the bullpen if the series goes to 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.

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: Takes win in Game 4

    Bieber earned the win during Game 4 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters across 5.1 innings.

    Bieber allowed the Dodgers to take a 1-0 lead in the second inning courtesy of a sacrifice fly from Enrique Hernandez, but the right-hander settled in nicely afterward, allowing just two of the next 12 batters he faced to reach base. He also did the Blue Jays' bullpen -- extremely fatigued from Monday's 18-inning marathon -- a solid by pitching into the sixth inning. Mason Fluharty returned the favor after Bieber's removal by stranding both of the inherited runners, keeping the latter in line for the win. Now carrying a 3.57 ERA through 17.2 innings in the postseason, the 30-year-old figures to have made his last start, though he could be available out of the bullpen going forward.

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Bitten by long ball

    Scherzer allowed three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three across 4.1 innings during Monday's Game 3 of the World Series against the Dodgers. He didn't factor into the decision.

    Scherzer was hurt by a pair of solo home runs, one by Teoscar Hernandez in the bottom of the second inning and another by Shohei Ohtani in the third. He was later pulled after Ohtani plated a run in the fifth on a one-out double. Even so, Scherzer actually departed the outing with a one-run lead, which didn't last after Mason Fluharty gave up the tying run later in the fifth inning. Scherzer has been serviceable for the Blue Jays in his two postseason starts, giving up five runs (three earned) and striking out eight in 10.0 innings of work. He could be in the running for a Game 7 start or an inning or two in relief depending on how the rest of the series plays out.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    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.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Pitches well in tough loss

    Gausman (2-2) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday in Game 2 of the World Series, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out six batters over 6.2 innings.

    Gausman gave up a run on a pair of two-out hits in the first inning, then settled in to retire 17 straight batters. That streak was broken when Will Smith tagged him for a solo homer in the seventh inning, and Max Muncy followed suit with his own solo blast two batters later. That spelled the end of Gausman's outing, and he ended up with the loss as Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto spun a one-run, complete-game gem. Gausman did log his longest career postseason outing and was efficient in throwing 59 of 82 pitches for strikes while registering a quality start. He figures to start again in Game 6 if the series gets to that point.

  • 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.

  • Trey Yesavage SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Takes no-decision in Game 1

    Yesavage didn't factor into the decision in Game 1 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters across four innings.

    Yesavage got off to a strong start by retiring the side in order in the first -- highlighted by a strikeout of Shohei Ohtani -- but the rookie right-hander eventually fell victim to the strength of Los Angeles' offense. An Enrique Hernandez RBI single gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the second, and Will Smith plated another run with his single in the third. Yesavage's pitch count had reached 80 by the end of the fourth frame, forcing Toronto to turn to its bullpen early and preventing the 22-year-old from benefiting from the Jays' nine-run explosion in the sixth. If the Dodgers are able to win at least one of the next three contests, Yesavage would likely be the choice to take the mound in Los Angeles for Game 5.
