Woodruff (lat) said Sunday that he's yet to resume playing catch and won't be on the Brewers' roster for the NLCS against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The veteran right-hander landed on the injured list Sept. 21 due to a moderate right lat strain, so it's not a major surprise he's still not available just three weeks later. Woodruff could be added to the roster for the World Series if Milwaukee can get past Los Angeles, but the odds are stacked against him given where he currently stands in his recovery.

The Blue Jays added Bassitt (back) to the active roster for the ALCS against the Mariners, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The veteran right-hander finished the regular season on the injured list due to back inflammation and wasn't included on Toronto's ALDS roster, but he's now ready to go. Bassitt pitched well as a back-end starter during the regular season with a 3.96 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 166:52 K:BB across 170.1 innings. but he may have a more flexible role for the postseason. Fellow starting pitcher Max Scherzer was also added to the active roster to face Seattle.

The Mariners added Woo (pectoral) to their active roster for the ALCS against the Blue Jays, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports.

President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto indicated Saturday that Woo was expected to make the roster after sitting out the past few weeks due to pectoral inflammation, so it's not a surprise the right-hander is active for the championship series. The 25-year-old was Seattle's best starting pitcher during the regular season with a 2.94 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 198:36 K:BB across 186.2 innings, but he likely won't be available to pitch for the Mariners until later in the week when the series shifts to Seattle after the first two games in Toronto.

The Blue Jays included Scherzer on their roster for the ALCS against the Mariners, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Scherzer was left of the ALDS roster but is back for the championship series with Toronto needing some more length for the seven-game series. It remains to be seen if the 41-year-old will step into the Blue Jays' rotation or if he'll operate out of the bullpen versus Seattle.

Rea (0-1) was charged with the loss in Game 5 of the NLDS against Milwaukee on Saturday. He allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 2.2 innings.

Drew Pomeranz started the game for Chicago and allowed one run in one inning. Rea entered in the second frame and got through two scoreless innings before serving up a solo homer to Andrew Vaughn in the fourth. That was the only run Rea allowed, but it was enough to saddle him with the loss as the Cubs managed just a single run. Rea finished the postseason having pitched in three games, giving up only one run over 7.2 innings despite yielding nine hits and posting a 3:3 K:BB.

Misiorowski (2-0) earned the win over the Cubs in Game 5 of the NLDS on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks while striking out three batters over four relief innings.

Trevor Megill started the game for the Brewers, pitching a scoreless first inning. Misiorowski then entered in the second and gave up a game-tying solo homer to the first batter he faced (Seiya Suzuki). However, Misiorowski rebounded from that long ball and was able to keep the Cubs off the scoreboard for the remainder of his four frames, throwing a total of 54 pitches (37 strikes). The rookie phenom earned the win in two of Milwaukee's three NLDS victories, allowing just one run over seven combined innings while posting a 7:2 K:BB. He could play a big role again in the team's upcoming NLCS matchup against the Dodgers.

Miller will start against the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the ALCS on Sunday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

The Mariners were forced to use three members of their rotation during Friday's 15-inning marathon against Detroit, so Miller will take the mound Sunday on just three days' rest. The 27-year-old threw just 55 pitches during his last appearance in Game 4 of the ALDS on Wednesday, so he may still be able to pitch fairly deep into Sunday's game despite his short recovery period.

President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said Saturday that Woo (pectoral) is expected to be included on the Mariners' ALCS roster, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Woo threw a bullpen session Friday as the latest step in his recovery from right pectoral inflammation, and the Mariners seemingly are pleased enough with his progress to feel comfortable including him in their pitching plans for the ALCS against Toronto. Dipoto noted that the 25-year-old righty likely won't be available for the first few games of the series, so his postseason debut will presumably come after the series moves to Seattle for Games 3 and 4.

Gausman will start Sunday against the Mariners in Game 1 of the ALCS, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gausman was brilliant on the mound in his first appearance of the postseason, tossing 5.2 innings of one-run ball against the Yankees in Game 1 of the ALDS. His strong performance will now earn him the right to open Toronto's upcoming series against the Mariners, who put up three runs on Gausman over 5.1 frames in the regular season.

Kirby didn't factor into the decision in Game 5 of the ALDS versus Detroit on Friday, allowing one earned run on three hits while striking out six batters over five-plus innings. He did not issue a walk.

Kerry Carpenter managed two singles against Kirby, but the rest of Detroit's offense was unable to find any success against the 27-year-old righty through the first five innings. Kirby came back out to start the sixth but was immediately pulled after giving up a leadoff double to Javier Baez, who scored on a home run from Carpenter during the ensuing at-bat. Because the Mariners were able to prevail over the Tigers after a 15-inning marathon, Kirby will have the ability to make at least one more appearance in the postseason -- likely in Game 3 or 4 of the ALCS against Toronto.
