Rich Hill SP | KC
Padres' Rich Hill: Secures extra-inning win
Hill (8-14) picked up the win in Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning game against the White Sox. He allowed one run on two hits while striking out three over two innings.
This was Hill's second appearance out of the bullpen since going unclaimed on waivers Sept. 14, and his first win since he was starting for the Pirates in June. The southpaw wrapped his season with a 5.41 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 146.1 innings with 129 strikeouts. The 43-year-old Hill enters free agency with uncertainty regarding his future; however, his 3.38 ERA in a limited sample of 10 innings as a reliever may be enticing enough to teams looking to bolster their bullpen with a multi-inning arm.

Tim Locastro LF | SD
Mets' Tim Locastro: Hits second homer
Locastro went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-1 loss to the Phillies.
Locastro's homer was one of just two hits for the Mets in this contest. He's hit two long balls in each of his last four major-league seasons. The outfielder batted .232 with a .731 OPS, three RBI, 13 runs scored and six stolen bases over 67 plate appearances in the majors in 2023, once again filling a bench role when healthy.

Connor Seabold RP | KC
Rockies' Connor Seabold: Throws four innings
Seabold allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over four innings in Sunday's win against the Twins. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision,
Seabold coughed up two runs in the second inning before turning in three scoreless frames. He entered the contest after Brent Suter threw one inning as the opener. Seabold yielded 13 runs over 9.2 MLB innings after the calendar turned to August and ended his 2023 campaign with a 7.52 ERA across 87.1 frames.

Jose Butto SP | SF
Mets' Jose Butto: Ends season with loss
Butto (1-4) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Phillies.
Butto earned his third quality start of the season but was once again let down by his offense. The right-hander allowed two or fewer runs in all but two of his nine appearances (seven starts), but he came away with just one win. He finishes 2023 with a 3.64 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 38:23 K:BB over 42 major-league innings.

Garrett Stubbs C | PHI
Phillies' Garrett Stubbs: Notches steal Sunday
Stubbs went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mets.
Stubbs got into just seven games after the start of September, serving as backup to workhorse catcher J.T. Realmuto. The multi-hit effort Sunday was just the second such game for Stubbs all season. He slashed .204/.274/.283 with one home run, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases across 125 plate appearances. Stubbs will likely see minimal playing time in the postseason.

Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: On base four times Sunday
Stott went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mets.
Stott had gone 4-for-34 over a nine-game stretch without a multi-hit effort before putting the slump to rest in the regular-season finale. This season was a breakout year for the second baseman. He posted a .280/.329/.419 slash line with 15 home runs, 62 RBI, 78 runs scored and 31 stolen bases over 151 games, and he should be the starter at the keystone for the Phillies in the playoffs.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Secures first 20-homer season
Bohm went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mets.
Bohm reached the 20-homer mark for the first time in his four-year career with a go-ahead solo shot in the sixth inning. He had gone 0-for-17 over his previous four contests. The third baseman ends the regular season with a .274/.327/.437 slash line, 97 RBI, 74 runs scored, four stolen bases and 31 doubles over 145 games.
-
Brandon Marsh LF | PHI
Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Goes yard Sunday
Marsh went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mets.
Marsh's contributions came late Sunday -- he had an RBI single in the eighth inning and a three-run blast one frame later. The outfielder hit poorly in September, batting .200 with two homers and eight RBI across 23 games last month. He finishes the regular season with a .277/.372/.458 slash line, a career-high 12 long balls, 60 RBI, 58 runs scored and 10 stolen bases over 133 games. Marsh should be in the lineup regularly versus right-handers as the Phillies look to defend their National League pennant from 2022.

Nick Nelson RP | PHI
Phillies' Nick Nelson: Nabs win as bulk reliever
Nelson (1-0) allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Mets on Sunday.
Nelson handled a bulk assignment after Matt Strahm opened the game with a perfect first inning. The only run on Nelson's line was a Tim Locastro solo home run in the third inning. This was Nelson's only appearance in the majors this year, and it's likely the 27-year-old right-hander won't be included in the Phillies' postseason plans.

Bryce Jarvis RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Fans three in short appearance
Jarvis allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits over 2.2 innings in Sunday's loss to the Astros. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.
Jarvis entered the game in the first inning after Kyle Nelson got off to a rocky start as the opener. Since the start of September, Jarvis allowed three earned runs over 11.2 frames. He registered a solid 3.04 in 23.2 MLB innings this season, mostly as a bullpen arm. The right-handed rookie could compete for a rotation spot with Arizona in 2024.
