    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Ineffective in Game 6 of ALCS

    Gilbert was tagged with the loss after he pitched four innings, surrendering five runs (four earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out three batters in Sunday's 6-2 defeat to the Blue Jays in Game 6 of the ALCS.

    Gilbert gave up two runs in the bottom of the second inning before later giving up a two-run home run to Addison Barger in the following frame and a solo shot to Vladimir Guerrero in the fifth. The right-hander has now posted a 4.20 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over 15 innings in four appearances, including three starts, with Seattle in the playoffs so far.

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Bounces back in Game 6

    Yesavage earned the win after he pitched 5.2 innings, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven in Sunday's 6-2 victory over Seattle in Game 6 of the ALCS.

    Yesavage toed the rubber for the second time in the series, bouncing back well after surrendering five runs over four innings in Game 2. The right-hander was able to blank the Mariners through five innings before he gave up a two-out solo home run to Josh Naylor in the top of the sixth. Yesavage then surrendered a two-out single to Randy Arozarena, and he was subsequently removed from the game. Arozarena later came around to score on a single by Eugenio Suarez. Yesavage has now posted a 4.20 ERA with 22 strikeouts over 15 innings in three starts during the postseason.

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Gets ball for Game 6

    Gilbert will start Game 6 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    As expected, Gilbert will toe the rubber in Toronto on Sunday after giving up three runs (two earned) over three innings in Monday's Game 2 start. Gilbert has a 2.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 11 innings across three appearances this postseason. Trey Yesavage will be starting Game 6 for Toronto.

    Brewers' Jose Quintana: Coughs up three in NLCS finale

    Quintana took the loss Friday against the Dodgers in Game 4 of the NLCS after allowing three earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out one batter in two-plus innings.

    Quintana was hardly able to get comfortable on the mound before Shohei Ohtani blasted a 446-foot home run against him to begin the first inning. Mookie Betts and Will Smith followed with a couple of singles and were brought home on a Tommy Edman single and Teoscar Hernandez groundout. Los Angeles wasn't able to score any more runs off Quintana, but consistent pressure forced the left-hander out of the game after just 49 pitches. With Milwaukee's season now over, the 36-year-old will turn his attention to free agency. He figures to receive interest on the open market after posting a 3.96 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 131.2 innings in the regular season.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Four punchouts in Game 5

    Miller didn't factor into the decision Friday during Game 5 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays, allowing one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four-plus innings.

    It looked like the 27-year-old righty was about to let the game get out of hand once he loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth, but he struck out Daulton Varsho and coerced a double play out of Ernie Clement to get through the inning unscored upon. Miller came back out to begin the fifth frame but was pulled after allowing a leadoff single to Addison Barger, who eventually came around to score. Because he threw only 56 pitches Friday, Miller may be able to work out of the bullpen during a potential Game 7.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Takes no-decision in Game 5

    Gausman allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out four batters across 5.2 innings during Game 5 of the ALCS against the Mariners on Friday. He did not factor into the decision.

    Gausman gave up a solo home run to Eugenio Suarez in the second inning, but the 34-year-old otherwise did a nice job to minimize the Mariners' threats and left the game with Toronto ahead 2-1 in the sixth. Toronto's bullpen gave up the lead in the eighth, which forced Gausman to settle for a no-decision. The veteran righty now owns an impressive 2.12 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through 17 innings in the postseason and may be available to pitch out of the bullpen in Game 7, if the series gets that far.

  • Trey Yesavage SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Getting ball in ALCS Game 6

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that Yesavage will start Game 6 of the ALCS versus the Mariners on Sunday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Yesavage struggled in Game 2, alowing five runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He had a dominant start against the Yankees in the ALDS, however, and will get an opportunity to bounce back Sunday. Depending on what happens in Game 5 on Friday, Yesavage's start Sunday will either be to help send the Blue Jays to the World Series or allow them to stave off elimination.

    Red Sox's Jose De Leon: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Red Sox outrighted De Leon to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.

    De Leon made one late-season appearance for the Red Sox but has lost his 40-man roster spot heading into the offseason. The right-hander has the ability to reject the assignment and become a free agent, but it's unclear what his plans are.

  • Jose Quintana SP | MIL

    Brewers' Jose Quintana: Officially named Game 4 starter

    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.

  • Luis Castillo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Luis Castillo: Short outing in ALCS

    Castillo (1-1) allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out one across 2.1 innings to take the loss in Game 4 of the ALCS on Thursday.

    Castillo got through two innings unscathed, but he allowed five of the first six hitters he faced in the third frame to reach base before being pulled. This was Castillo's first stumble of the postseason, as he had previously thrown six scoreless innings across two appearances in the ALDS. He has a less impressive 5:5 K:BB, but he has largely been a reliable arm for Seattle.
