Dobbins (knee) is on track to have a normal offseason and be 100 percent for the start of spring training, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Dobbins underwent surgery in July to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. His recovery from the operation seems to be going off without a hitch and t's not expected to limit him next spring, barring any setbacks. The righty could compete for a spot in Boston's rotation in 2026.

An MRI revealed Berrios (elbow) doesn't have any structural damage, and he will be seeking a second opinion, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports Friday.

Berrios was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right elbow inflammation. While Friday's news is encouraging, manager John Schneider indicated Berrios likely wouldn't return in 2025 unless the Blue Jays were to make a deep run in the playoffs. Toronto bumped Berrios to the bullpen Sept. 19 and he surrendered three runs in two innings during his only appearance afterward.

Atlanta claimed Manoah off waivers from the Blue Jays on Friday and optioned him to its spring training complex.

Manoah was somewhat surprisingly designated for assignment by Toronto earlier this week and Atlanta has decided to roll the dice on the 27-year-old. The righty has been limited to just 10 rehab starts in 2025 after coming back from Tommy John surgery, and he's posted a 3.96 ERA and 35:23 K:BB across 38.2 innings. Manoah hasn't had much success at the big-league level since 2022, when he held a 2.24 ERA over 31 starts. He's under team control through 2027 and will likely compete for a spot in the Atlanta rotation next season.

McDonald is slated to start Friday's game against the Rockies in San Francisco.

The rookie right-hander will be awarded another turn through the rotation after he performed well against the Dodgers in his first MLB start this past Sunday, striking out three while allowing one earned run on six hits and one walk over six innings. McDonald will look to build on that performance with another positive outing against the Rockies, which could improve his chances of being part of the Giants' Opening Day rotation in 2026.

Harrison is slated to start Friday's game against the Tigers in Boston.

Harrison stepped in as Boston's fifth starter last weekend at Tampa Bay and aced the test, striking out five while allowing one earned run on four hits and two walks across six innings in a no-decision. The southpaw will be rewarded with another turn through the rotation Friday, and another strong showing could help his case for earning a spot on Boston's postseason roster, should the Red Sox clinch a playoff spot.

Horton (ribs) threw in the outfield Friday and the Cubs expect him to be ready to pitch during next week's National League Wild Card Series versus the Padres, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Horton underwent an MRI after exiting his last outing due to back tightness, and the imaging revealed an area of concern in his ribcage area. However, while the rookie right-hander does not appear to be 100 percent, the plan is to give him the ball against the Padres, likely in Game 1. Horton finished his first major-league season with a 2.67 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 97:33 K:BB over 118 innings.

Perales averaged 98.6 mph and touched 99.8 mph with his four-seam fastball in his most recent appearance for Triple-A Worcester on Sept. 20.

Perales, who underwent Tommy John surgery in July of 2024, logged a total of 2.1 innings across Double-A and Triple-A, with his first appearance coming Sept. 13. His numbers aren't pretty in this tiny sample (7.71 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 4:3 K:BB), but Perales' stuff is all the way back and then some, with his fastball not only offering premium velocity but elite movement. He leans heavily on his nasty 90-mph cutter and also mixes in a mid-80s slider, so it's a power arsenal in a small package -- Perales is listed at 6-foot-1, 160 pounds. He only has 8.1 career innings at Double-A and 1.1 innings at Triple-A, so it's unclear which of the upper-minors levels Perales will be assigned to in 2026, but on pure upside, he's right there with any pitcher who has yet to reach the majors.

Bello (11-9) took the loss Thursday against the Blue Jays, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out three over five-plus innings.

Bello was great through the first five innings, finding little trouble outside of a bases-loaded jam in the third, but his outing fell apart in the sixth. An error, a walk and a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases and forced the right-hander's exit, with Daulton Varsho then immediately delivering a grand slam off Justin Wilson. With little run support behind him, Bello was handed his third consecutive loss. The 26-year-old has completed six innings just once in his last five outings, posting a 5.40 ERA during that span, and assuming he doesn't pitch again during the regular season, he'll finish with a 3.35 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 124:59 K:BB across 166.2 innings.

Sanchez is listed as the Phillies' probable starter for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Twins.

Philadelphia seemed likely to hold Sanchez out for any potential wild-card matchup, but after clinching a first-round bye in the postseason with a win Wednesday, the team has since decided to start Sanchez on Sunday in a final tuneup before Game 1 of the NLDS on Oct. 4. It could be something of an abbreviated start for Sanchez, who will not be winning the NL Cy Young over Paul Skenes but should be a finalist for the award after his first career 200-strikeout campaign.

Walker threw two scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Thursday's win over the Marlins, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out three to earn a hold.

Walker piggybacked Walker Buehler -- who started the game with five scoreless frames -- as the Phillies prepare and align their pitching staff for the postseason after clinching a first-round bye Wednesday. A longtime starter in the majors, Walker has taken well to relief work, posting a 3.32 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 19 innings out of the bullpen this season compared to a 4.25 ERA and 1.45 WHIP as a starter.
