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.

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.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Yesavage will start Game 1 of the World Series versus the Dodgers on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

At 22 years and 88 days old, Yesavage will be the second-youngest World Series Game 1 starter in history, per Sarah Langs of MLB.com. He will be opposed by Blake Snell. Yesavage has made three starts this postseason, collecting a 4.20 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 15 innings. The Blue Jays have not yet named their Game 2 starter, but it will likely be Kevin Gausman.

Bremner is not pitching in fall instructs due to elbow soreness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

He had a clean MRI, and the move to hold him out of instructs is being labeled precautionary, with Blum reporting that there is no concern within the organization about any actual injury. Nonetheless, with six or seven very strong pitching prospects headlining the 2025 First-Year Player Draft class, the fact Bremner hasn't logged any meaningful game action since getting drafted with the No. 1 overall pick could be a tiebreaker for dynasty managers deciding whom to select in dynasty first-year player drafts.

Kirby didn't factor into the decision during Monday's 4-3 loss in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over four innings.

Kirby was tagged for a run in the bottom of the first inning after issuing a leadoff walk, followed by a pair of singles. However, he was able to escape the jam without suffering further damage and exited the matchup with a lead. The Mariners would later surrender a two-run lead in the seventh, bringing the right-hander's postseason run to an end. Kirby responded nicely from a disastrous outing in Game 3, when he surrendered eight runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four in four-plus frames.

Bieber allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 3.2 innings during Monday's 4-3 win in Game 7 over the Mariners. He didn't factor into the decision.

Bieber was hit hard early in Monday's outing, as Seattle got to him for a run in the top of the first inning, and Julio Rodriguez would deliver a go-ahead solo home run in the top of the third. While seven hits in fewer than four frames doesn't often result in success, Bieber managed to navigate around traffic on the bases to keep his club in the game, later exiting with a one-run deficit. Overall, the veteran right-hander delivered a solid ALCS, surrendering four runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out 13 across 9.2 innings (two starts). He'll certainly be leaned on in the World Series against the Dodgers and will likely be tapped to start either Game 2 or Game 3.

De Leon became a free agent Monday.

The Red Sox announced that De Leon had been sent outright to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, but rather than accept an assignment in the minors, he'll test free agency. The 33-year-old appeared in only one game at the big-league level in 2025, allowing three runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out eight in 6.2 innings Sept. 28 against Detroit.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Berrios (elbow) has resumed throwing but will not be on the World Series roster, should his team advance, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Berrios' last appearance came Sept. 24 and his last start was Sept. 16, as he's been shelved for nearly a month with right elbow inflammation. While it's good news that he's been cleared to resume a throwing program, the window for him to pitch in games again in 2025 has closed. Barring a setback, Berrios should have a normal offseason.

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.

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.
