Trevor McDonald SP | SF
Giants' Trevor McDonald: Fans 10 in first career win
McDonald (1-0) allowed three runs on five hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Friday.
McDonald gave up a three-run home run to Ezequiel Tovar in the fifth inning but was otherwise quite stingy in a dominant win. This was McDonald's third appearance in the majors this year, and he finished the campaign allowing six runs over 15 innings while adding a 14:2 K:BB. It was a strong showing in his late-season audition, which reflects better than his 5.37 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 144:62 K:BB over 142.1 innings at Triple-A Sacramento. McDonald has likely done enough to be in the conversation for a big-league rotation spot in the spring.

Noah Cameron P | KC
Royals' Noah Cameron: Shaky command in no-decision
Cameron allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Friday.
Cameron did fine until the fifth inning, when the Athletics were able to collect four of their eight baserunners against him. A Jacob Wilson three-run double tied the game after Taylor Clarke entered the game in relief of Cameron, denying the rookie a chance to reach the 10-win mark. He ends 2025 with a 2.99 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 114:43 K:BB across 138.1 innings as well as a 9-7 record over 24 starts. While there were some bumps along the way, Cameron's pitched well enough to have an inside track for a rotation spot in 2026.

Mason Barnett P | ATH
Athletics' Mason Barnett: Does fine in last start of season
Barnett allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Royals on Friday.
This was the longest of Barnett's five starts in the majors so far, and his only real mistake resulted in a three-run home run off the bat of Jonathan India in the fourth inning. Through 22.1 innings in the majors, Barnett has posted a 6.85 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB while also allowing three home runs. The right-hander figures to contend for a rotation spot next year.

Mitch Keller SP | PIT
Pirates' Mitch Keller: Labors in no-decision
Keller didn't factor into the decision Friday against Atlanta, allowing one run on three hits and five walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out six.
Keller lacked control in his last start of the campaign, issuing his most walks of the year in his shortest outing since Aug. 19. In fact, the right-hander lent more free passes Friday than he did in his prior five appearances combined. Keller will be entering the third season of his five-year contract with the Pirates in 2026, and he remained a capable -- if unspectacular -- major-league starter in 2025. Over 176.1 innings, he posted a 4.19 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 150:51 K:BB.

Joey Wentz SP | ATL
Braves' Joey Wentz: Flops in seventh loss
Wentz (5-7) took the loss Friday against Pittsburgh, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out three.
Wentz didn't go out on a high note against a soft Pittsburgh lineup in his final appearance of 2025, working his second-shortest outing since becoming a starter in mid-July. The eight hits represented his second-most allowed of the season, though the southpaw at least managed to toss three scoreless frames around a four-run Pirates second inning. Wentz spent time with three different teams this year, and he'll close the campaign with an uninspiring 5.60 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 92:43 K:BB over 98 frames (13 starts).

Kyle Harrison SP | BOS
Red Sox's Kyle Harrison: Hit hard in no-decision
Harrison did not factor into the decision Friday against the Tigers, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out six.
The Red Sox southpaw struggled out the gate, as he escaped a scoreless first inning in which he conceded two walks and a hit. The Detroit lineup finally broke through against Harrison in the fourth, when the first five batters reached, plating three runs. Given that the 24-year-old tossed 65 pitches in this appearance, he likely wraps his regular season with a 4.04 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 38:14 K:BB across 35.2 total frames with Boston and San Francisco.

Casey Mize SP | DET
Tigers' Casey Mize: Concedes two runs in no-decision
Mize did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-3 loss at Boston, allowing two runs on six hits while striking out eight over 6.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.
The Detroit right-hander ended his regular season on a high note, generating 14 whiffs out of his 80 total pitches to notch his ninth quality start. Mize tallied five or more strikeouts for the fifth time out of 28 total starts. The Auburn product contained the Red Sox's lineup, with the only runs he allowed scoring on single in the fourth and a sacrifice fly in the seventh. Mize finishes with a 3.87 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 139:36 K:BB across 149 total innings.

Will Warren P | NYY
Yankees' Will Warren: Fans seven in shaky win
Warren (9-8) collected the win in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Orioles, yielding four runs on six hits and one walk over five frames. He struck out seven.
The rookie allowed multiple homers for only the fourth time this season out of 33 starts. Warren conceded a three-run long ball to Jordan Westburg in the third before being chased from the game in the sixth by a Tyler O'Neill solo shot. The 26-year-old wraps his regular season with a 4.44 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 171:65 K:BB across 162.1 total innings.

Trevor Rogers SP | BAL
Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Pummeled in the Bronx
Rogers (9-3) took the loss in Friday's contest against the Yankees, allowing six runs on three hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three.
The Baltimore southpaw's run of brilliance finally came to an end, as he allowed more than two runs for the first time since June 18. Rogers was undone by the long ball, coughing up multiple homers for the first time in 2025. The 27-year-old wraps an utterly fantastic season having pitched to a 1.81 ERA, 2.82 FIP, 0.90 WHIP and 103:29 K:BB across 109.2 innings.

Yoendrys Gomez RP | TB
White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Falters late in no-decision
Gomez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals, allowing five runs on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts over six innings.
Gomez entered the sixth in line for a quality start before yielding three runs in the frame, ending the day having allowed four home runs. It still marked the longest outing of the 25-year-old's career, and he posted a 4.60 ERA over nine second-half starts. For the season, he finished with a 5.17 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 58:27 K:BB across 62.2 innings as both a reliever and starter.
