McGreevy didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Brewers after allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out two over 4.2 innings.

McGreevy struggled to keep Milwaukee off the bases before departing with two outs in the fifth, and while Milwaukee jumped to a 4-1 lead, the Cardinals later erased the early deficit. McGreevy closes the season with some ups and downs, but he went undefeated in his last 10 starts, going 3-0 with a 4.78 ERA across 52.2 innings. For the year, the third-year hurler posted career-high marks in innings pitched (168.2), starts (31) and ERA (3.95), among several other categories.

Lawlar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-4 win over the Padres.

Lawlar has faded into a reserve role lately, but he made the most of a start Friday. In September, he has gone 12-for-51 (.235) with seven extra-base hits and seven RBI over 20 contests. Lawlar is batting .256 with a .781 OPS, six homers, 16 RBI, 17 runs scored, five doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 43 games in the majors this season.

Nootbaar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and three runs scored in Friday's 11-4 win over the Padres.

Nootbaar set the tone, ambushing Casey Mize on the first pitch of the game. Nootbaar has gone 6-for-15 (.400) over his last four games, though the homer accounted for his first RBI since Sept. 14. The outfielder is batting .241 with a .728 OPS, eight homers, 32 RBI, 38 runs scored, 14 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases across 88 games between the Diamondbacks and the Cardinals this year.

Arenado went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 11-4 win over the Padres.

Arenado's first year in Arizona saw him get back to the 30-homer mark for the first time since 2022. He reached the threshold with a third-inning blast off Casey Mize. Arenado is batting .254 with an .803 OPS, 85 RBI, 79 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases over 150 contests this year.

Pfaadt (8-3) allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out seven over 7.2 innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.

Pfaadt put the Diamondbacks in a good spot for the rest of the weekend, sparing the bullpen with a long outing. He threw 71 of 106 pitches for strikes and earned the win to keep Arizona's playoff hopes alive, gaining ground on the Phillies after their loss to the Rays. Pfaadt had gone six starts without a win prior to Friday. He ends the regular season at a 3.77 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 94:32 K:BB across 136 innings over 29 games (19 starts), and he's pitched well enough to warrant a start in the wild-card round if Arizona makes the postseason.

Mize (6-10) allowed seven runs on seven hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out one over four innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Mize gave up a home run in each of the first three innings. In his 10 starts as a Padre, he's posted a 7.46 ERA with 13 home runs allowed over 44.2 innings. He posted a 4.32 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 110:38 K:BB through 131.1 innings over 26 regular-season starts, but given his recent form, it'll be tough for San Diego to trust him with a start in the wild-card round.

Smith went 3-for-4 in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Smith's trio of singles Friday accounted for his third multi-hit effort over his last seven games. The catcher is batting .458 (11-for-24) in that span. For the season, he's hitting .259 with a .782 OPS, 10 home runs, 34 RBI, 34 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 72 contests.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Hernandez's six-game hitting streak ended Thursday, but he bounced back with a homer in his first at-bat Friday. That blast was all the Dodgers needed to get this win. Hernandez is now batting .268 with a .763 OPS, 16 long balls, 64 RBI, 66 runs scored, 17 doubles, two triples and five stolen bases over 123 games. In September, he's hitting .354 with a .997 OPS, getting hot at just the right time.

Pages went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Pages showed power and speed in this low-scoring contest. He's now gone 5-for-12 with two extra-base hits and two walks over four games since he returned from a fractured hand. The outfielder is batting .275 with an .808 OPS, 22 homers, 81 RBI, 74 runs scored, 26 doubles, two triples and 13 steals across 132 contests this season.

Scott struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Scott has locked in late in the campaign, pitching four consecutive scoreless innings with two saves and a hold over his last four appearances. The left-hander will likely enter the postseason as the Dodgers' closer after filling that role over multiple stints this season while Edwin Diaz battled injuries and ineffective pitching. Scott has earned 24 saves, 13 holds and four blown saves while pitching to a 2.73 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 80:15 K:BB through 62.2 innings.
