Sanchez allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out five across 6.1 innings in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers on Thursday. He did not factor into the decision.

Sanchez was in a compelling pitcher's duel with Tyler Glasnow, with his only run coming on an inherited runner after he exited the game. While Sanchez didn't overpower the Dodgers' lineup, he induced 10 groundouts to go along with 14 swinging strikes on 95 total pitches. Despite it coming in a losing effort, Sanchez wrapped up an excellent 2025 season and is very likely to be a Cy Young finalist in the coming weeks.

Glasnow allowed two hits and three walks while striking out eight across six scoreless innings Thursday in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Glasnow made a relief appearance in Game 1 of the series, contributing 1.2 scoreless innings in a Dodgers' win. He was excellent in the decisive game Thursday, generating 16 swinging strikes on only 83 total pitches while also not allowing a hit from the second through fifth inning. Manager Dave Roberts said he removed Glasnow due to cramping per Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, though it doesn't look likely to affect his status for the NLCS.

Kirby will start Game 5 of the ALDS on Friday against Detroit.

Both Kirby and Luis Castillo would have been available to pitch on at least regular rest, but the Mariners will opt for Kirby in the elimination game. He threw five innings in Game 1 of the series, allowing two earned runs while striking out eight across five innings.

Eovaldi underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a sports hernia, Jeff Wilson of DLLS Sports reports.

The typical recovery timeline for the procedure is 6-to-8 weeks, which will allow Eovaldi to begin his offseason throwing program when he normally would. He is expected to be fully recovered from the hernia surgery and also his late-season rotation cuff strain in time for the start of spring training. Eovaldi held a 1.73 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 129:21 K:BB across 130 innings for the Rangers in 2025.

Peralta will start Thursday in Game 4 of the NLDS versus the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Peralta pitched well in a Game 1 victory, striking out nine while yielding two runs over 5.2 innings. He and the Brewers will be looking to close out the series Thursday to punch their ticket to the NLCS. The Cubs will be countering with left-hander Matthew Boyd.

Boyd will start Thursday's NLDS Game 4 against the Brewers, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Boyd will pitch on regular rest Thursday after he struggled on short rest in Game 1, allowing six runs (two earned) while recording just two outs. The left-hander has been notably better at home this season, posting a 2.51 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 79:14 K:BB over 89.2 frames covering 15 starts. Boyd will get to pitch at Wrigley Field on Thursday as the Cubs look to extend the series to a fifth game.

Suarez (1-0) spun five innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen to pick up the victory in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLDS.

Aaron Nola drew the start for the Phillies but was lifted after two scoreless frames in favor of Suarez. The left-hander served up a solo home run to the first batter he faced in Tommy Edman, but Suarez settled in after that, holding the Dodgers off the scoreboard on four hits and one walk while striking out five. It's unlikely Suarez will be available to pitch for the rest of the NLDS, but he'll either be part of the Phillies' rotation or continue to operate in a bulk-relief role should his team advance to the NLCS.

Nola was lifted after tossing two scoreless innings in Wednesday's NLDS Game 3 win over the Dodgers.

Nola pitched around a triple and a hit-by-pitch in the first inning before spinning a 1-2-3 second inning. Phillies manager Rob Thomson then pulled him in favor of Ranger Suarez, as it was clear the skipper never had any intention of letting Nola face the Dodgers' batting order a second time. Nola threw only 31 pitches in the outing, so he should be available to pitch for the Phillies again soon, though it's unclear whether Thomson plans to use the righty again during the NLDS.

Yamamoto (1-1) was charged with a loss Wednesday versus the Phillies in Game 3 of the NLDS, yielding three runs on six hits and one walk over four-plus innings.

Yamamoto cruised through the first three frames, with the only baserunner to reach off the righty doing so on a walk. Things then fell apart in the fourth, with the Phillies tagging Yamamoto with three runs on four hits, including a home run. Yamamoto came back out for the fifth inning but was pulled after yielding back-to-back singles. The three earned runs allowed by Yamamoto matched the total he had given up across his previous four postseason starts.

Taillon took a no-decision against the Brewers in Game 3 of the NLDS on Wednesday after giving up two earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three batters over four innings.

The Brewers jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a sacrifice fly courtesy of Sal Frelick, but a four-run outburst from the Chicago's offense in the first inning gave Taillon and the Cubs all the runs they would need to prevail in Wednesday's contest. The right-hander's pitch count had climbed to 75 by the end of the fourth, so manager Craig Counsell pulled the plug early on his start, preventing him from leaving the ballpark with a win. If the Cubs are able to complete the series comeback, Taillon would likely be granted another start during the NLCS.
