Brito (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 25.

Brito landed on the 7-day IL in July due to an unspecified injury, and while he didn't see any action down the stretch of the minor-league season, the team has declared that he's returned to health by officially activating him. He appeared in 12 games for High-A Ashland in 2025, posting a 3.28 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with a 65:28 K:BB across 49.1 innings.

Castillo did not factor into the decision in Sunday's win over the Tigers in Game 2 of the American League Division Series. He allowed one hit and four walks while striking out three over 4.2 scoreless innings.

The veteran right-hander matched his single-game high this season with the four free passes -- a number he reached only once during the regular season -- but he was effective nonetheless. Castillo recorded 13 swings-and-misses on 85 pitches and hung zeros, affording his team enough time to eventually win the game and even the series at one game apiece. His dominance has waned a bit in recent years, but Castillo is still an incredibly valuable piece of the Seattle rotation.

Skubal permitted two runs on five hits and one walk over seven innings in a no-decision Sunday in Seattle. He struck out nine.

Jorge Polanco proved to be Skubal's kryptonite, taking the left-hander deep with solo home runs in the fourth and sixth innings. The Mariners didn't get anything going off Skubal aside from Polanco's exploits, and the southpaw was handed a no-decision after the Tigers rallied to tie the game in the top of the eighth. Skubal has given up a total of three runs while fanning 23 batters over 14.2 frames in his two starts this postseason. He's lined up to start Game 5 of the ALDS, if the series goes the distance.

Horton (rib) is scheduled to throw off a mound this week, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

How Horton fares during the mound session will give the Cubs a better idea as to whether the rookie right-hander has a chance to be on the NLCS roster, should his team advance past the Brewers in the NLDS. Horton suffered a right rib fracture during his final start of the regular season Sept. 23 and hasn't pitched since.

Yesavage earned the win after he pitched 5.1 scoreless and hitless innings, walking a batter and striking out 11 others in Sunday's 13-7 win over the Yankees in Game 2 of the ALDS.

Yesavage was nothing short of brilliant in his first career postseason outing, preventing New York from reaching base for the final five innings of his performance. Additionally, the right-hander struck out six consecutive batters between the second and third innings, while his 11 punchouts set a new franchise postseason record for Toronto. If the Blue Jays are ultimately able to advance to the ALCS, Yesavage is likely to garner another start for the team.

Fried pitched three innings, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out one batter in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Blue Jays in Game 2 of the ALDS.

Fried was able to toss a scoreless first inning before the wheels quickly fell off thereafter. The left-hander allowed two runs in the second and three in the third, and he was ultimately removed from the game after allowing the first two batters to reach in the bottom of the fourth. The outing matched Fried's shortest of the year, while the seven runs given up also matched a season high for the 29-year-old.

Mize will draw the start on the mound in Wednesday's Game 4 matchup with Seattle, if needed, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Mize will toe the rubber for the second time in the postseason if the Tigers' series against Seattle in the ALDS reaches a Game 4 on Wednesday. The right-hander pitched three innings, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out a batter in the team's 6-1 loss to the Guardians in Game 2 of the wild-card round. Mize will look to last longer in his next outing, whether it comes Wednesday or later down the road in the playoffs.

Flaherty is expected to draw the start on the mound in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Mariners on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Flaherty will be back on the mound when the team returns to Detroit, looking to build off of his last outing in Game 3 of the Tigers' wild-card round series versus Cleveland. The right-hander tossed 4.2 innings, allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out four batters against the Guardians. Flaherty drew one start versus the Mariners during the regular season, pitching five innings and surrendering two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven batters July 13.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that Imanaga will start Monday in Game 2 of the NLDS against Milwaukee, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Imanaga last pitched Wednesday in a Game 2 wild-card loss to the Padres, throwing 67 pitches across four innings after reliever Andrew Kittredge opened the game. The 31-year-old lefty will move back into a traditional starting role Monday and will look to help the Cubs even the series after a 9-3 loss in Game 1. Imanaga faced Milwaukee three times during the regular season, allowing seven runs with 17 strikeouts and 3 walks across 17.2 innings.

Kirby did not factor into the decision in Saturday's extra-innings loss to the Tigers in Game 1 of the ALDS. He allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight over five innings.

Kirby was cruising and appeared to have some of his best command all season, but Kerry Carpenter turned a one-run Detroit deficit into a one-run Tigers lead with his home run with two outs in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old Kirby induced 16 swinging strikes on 94 pitches, extending an impressive run of dominance from September (31 strikeouts in his final 17.1 regular-season innings). He's not assured of another start this postseason, but Kirby lines up to toe the rubber at home Friday in Game 5.
