Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Achieves milestone in loss
Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to San Diego.
Perdomo's homer was his 20th, the first time he's reached that milestone. While other regulars were given the day off after Arizona was eliminated from the postseason Friday, Perdomo insisted on playing his 160th game, per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. There's a good chance he adds to that Sunday, as Perdomo is one RBI shy of a 20-100 year entering the final game of the regular season. It's been a remarkable year of development for Perdomo, whose 6.9 bWAR is among MLB leaders and tops position players in the NL.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Homers in win
Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Bogaerts launched a 424-foot homer off Eduardo Rodriguez in the first inning, his first extra-base hit since coming off the injured list Tuesday. The veteran shortstop has hit safely in three of four games since rejoining the Padres, going 4-for-16 in that span. He's slashing .262/.328/.389 with 11 home runs, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored and 20 steals across 550 plate appearances and appears healthy as the club gears up for the postseason.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Homers again in win
Tatis went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Tatis led off with his third homer in as many days to spark a three-run first inning for the Padres. The 26-year-old is closing the regular season on a strong note, hitting safely in nine of his last 10 games with four home runs, eight RBI, 13 runs scored and three stolen bases in that span. He's slashing .267/.367/.446 with 25 long balls, 71 RBI, 110 runs scored and 32 steals across 689 plate appearances.

Michael King SP | SD
Padres' Michael King: Abbreviated outing in no-decision
King did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks, allowing one hit and two walks with three strikeouts over 2.2 scoreless innings.
King generated seven whiffs on 49 pitches in his final regular-season outing as the Padres gear up to face the Cubs in the wild-card round. The 30-year-old posted a 5.74 ERA over four starts since returning from the injured list Sept. 9, though much of that damage came in an eight-run blowup against the Mets three turns ago. He'll wrap up an injury-plagued season with a 3.44 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 76:26 K:BB over 73.1 innings, while his role for the postseason remains unsettled.

Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Allows three homers in loss
Rodriguez (9-9) took the loss against the Padres on Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk with six strikeouts over six innings.
Rodriguez was tagged for three homers over his first two innings but managed to settle in and blank the Padres across his final four frames. The outing capped an up-and-down season for the 32-year-old, who allowed five earned runs in four of his last 10 starts but also turned in three scoreless efforts during that stretch. He'll close the year with a 5.02 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 143:60 K:BB across 154.1 innings.

Enrique Hernandez SS | LAD
Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Three-hit effort in win
Hernandez went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.
Hernandez delivered the decisive hit, a two-run double in the top of the ninth inning, in this game. His playing time has been sporadic this season, though he has now started three straight games while Max Muncy (lower body) has been out of the lineup. Hernandez is up to a .206/.259/.373 slash line with 10 home runs, 35 RBI, 30 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases across 252 plate appearances.

Dalton Rushing C | LAD
Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Opens scoring with homer
Rushing went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.
Rushing went deep off Logan Gilbert in the fifth inning to open the scoring. Since returning from a shin injury Sept. 16, Rushing has gone 5-for-19 (.263) over seven games while sharing the catching duties with Ben Rortvedt. Rushing is now slashing .200/.255/.314 with four homers, 24 RBI, 14 runs scored and four doubles over 52 big-league games this season. Rortvedt has been steady while hitting .244 in September, and as the more experienced catcher, he may continue to see a starting role in the postseason unless Will Smith (hand) is able to return.

Edgardo Henriquez SP | LAD
Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Secures first save
Henriquez struck out three in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.
The flamethrowing right-hander kept things tidy with 12 pitches (nine strikes) to retire the side. The Dodgers' bullpen was a bit short for this game, with regular closer Tanner Scott not available after pitching the last two days, and Alex Vesia had already entered the game for the eighth inning. Henriquez has a save, five holds and two blown saves over 22 appearances this season and has maintained a 2.37 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB across 19 innings.

Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Steady in short start
Glasnow allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three over three scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.
Glasnow's short outing was planned, and he threw 22 of 36 pitches for strikes prior to his exit. The right-hander concludes the regular season at a 3.19 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 106:43 K:BB through 90.1 innings over 18 starts this season. It's not yet known if Glasnow will feature out of the bullpen or serve as a starter during the wild-card round. He would be on four days' rest for Game 3 on Thursday, if necessary.

Jack Suwinski RF | LAD
Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Some late improvement
Suwinski went 2-for-3 with an RBI on Saturday against Atlanta.
Suwinski delivered an RBI in the sixth inning to put the Pirates up 3-1. He's had an abysmal offensive season and spent much of the year in the minors, though he has at least one hit in five of his last seven games. Suwinski has closed the season as the Pirates' primary left fielder against right-handed pitching, though he's likely to face significant competition for a roster spot to begin 2026.
