The Pirates claimed Robertson off waivers from the White Sox on Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Robertson went just 9-for-70 with a 2:27 BB:K over 75 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and White Sox in 2025 in his first action at the big-league level. However, the 27-year-old slashed .289/.387/.571 with 20 homers at the Triple-A level this season and can play all three outfield spots, so the Pirates will hope he can nail down a job as a reserve outfielder.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that there's a "71 percent" chance of Priester pitching at some point after opener Aaron Ashby in Game 1 of the NLCS, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Although Murphy didn't explicitly state it, Priester is likely to serve as the Brewers' bulk reliever Monday. The right-hander started Game 3 of the NLDS against the Cubs but failed to get out of the first inning, yielding four runs while recording only two outs. Priester was terrific for Milwaukee during the regular season, however, posting a 3.32 ERA and 132:50 K:BB over 157.1 frames.

Chourio said Monday that his right hamstring feels "close to 100 percent," Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Chourio missed most of August with a right hamstring strain and had to be removed from Games 1 and 2 of the NLDS after the hamstring flared up on him. While it appears Chourio is on the mend, the Brewers are still likely to ask the outfielder to take it easy on the basepaths so as not to aggravate the injury. Chourio is slashing .389/.421/.667 with one home run, two doubles and six RBI in five games this postseason.

Ashby will be the Brewers' opening pitcher Monday in Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Ashby struggled as the opener in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Cubs, yielding three runs over 1.2 innings. However, lefties slashed just .193/.299/.241 against the southpaw during the regular season, so it makes sense to use Ashby in this spot to face Shohei Ohtani and likely Freddie Freeman. Quinn Priester is expected to provide bulk relief for the Brewers in Game 1.

Myers is included on the Brewers' NLCS roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Myers was not on the Brewers' NLDS roster, but he pitched well for the big club this season when used in relief, holding a 1.91 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 20:3 K:BB over 28.1 innings. The righty offers more length in the bullpen than the guy he's replacing on the roster, Nick Mears.

Mears is not on the Brewers' NLCS roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Mears made three scoreless appearances during the NLDS and posted a 3.49 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 46:13 K:BB over 56.2 innings during the regular season, so his exclusion from the NLCS roster comes as a surprise. His spot is being absorbed by Tobias Myers, who will offer the Brewers more length in the bullpen.

Rushing is not on the Dodgers' NLCS roster, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Rushing was on the wild-card and NLDS rosters and struck out as a pinch hitter in his lone plate appearance. With Will Smith fully recovered from his fractured hand and no longer under any workload restrictions, the team no longer has a need for a third catcher. Ben Rortvedt will back up Smith, and reliever Ben Casparius has taken Rushing's spot on the roster.

The Dodgers added Casparius to their NLCS roster Monday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Casparius spent the last few weeks of the regular season in the minors and was left off the Dodgers' roster for the first two rounds of the postseason, but he'll give manager Dave Roberts another bullpen arm for the NLCS. The 26-year-old collected a 4.64 ERA and 71:21 K:BB across 77.2 innings during his time with the big club this season.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said in late September that he anticipates Graceffo remaining in a relief role next season, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Graceffo began 2025 in the rotation at Triple-A Memphis, but he was shifted to the bullpen in early May and that's where he remained for the remainder of the season, both during his time in the majors and minors. He finished with a 6.28 ERA, but a 2.93 FIP and 3.71 SIERA suggests Graceffo was unlucky from an ERA perspective. The 25-year-old plans to alter his offseason workouts as he moves to a full-time relief role, and the hope is that it will help his stuff play up.

Yamamoto is set to draw the start in Game 2 of the NLCS versus the Brewers on Tuesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Yamamoto will get the ball for the third time in the playoffs, having allowing three runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out 11 batters over 10.2 innings in two starts so far. The right-hander faced Milwaukee on the road July 7, surrendering five runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks while recording just two outs before being removed from the game. Yamamoto will now be looking to get his redemption in Game 2.
