Peguero picked up a hold in Friday's 6-3 victory over the Rockies, allowing one hit while striking out one across a scoreless inning.

Peguero entered the game in the eighth and gave up just one single, throwing eight of his 14 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has logged three consecutive scoreless outings, surrendering one hit while striking out four across three innings during that span. Overall, he owns a 2.53 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB across 21.1 innings in 16 games this season.

Devers went 1-for-2 with three walks, a double and a run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

The 28-year-old drew a walk in the first inning before coming around to score on a two-run homer by Willy Adames. Devers added a double in the second, marking his first two-bagger since Sept. 10. He has reached base safely in 10 consecutive games, slashing .211/.348/.474 with three home runs and a 30.4 percent strikeout rate in 46 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .252/.373/.476 with 107 RBI, 97 runs scored, 34 long balls and one stolen base across 721 plate appearances in 161 games between the Giants and Red Sox.

Sasaki recorded the second hold of his career in Friday's 3-2 win over the Mariners, giving up one hit and striking out two in a scoreless seventh inning.

It's been a tough first North American season overall for Sasaki, who has only been healthy enough to throw 36.1 innings, but he appears to be back to 100 percent as he works a high-leverage relief role for the Dodgers headed into the playoffs. The right-hander topped out at 100.1 mph with his fastball Friday, and he's fanned four batters in two shutout innings since being activated from the IL on Sept. 24. If closer Tanner Scott falters in the postseason, Sasaki could find himself in some very high-pressure situations in October.

Ohtani went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

The reigning NL NVP hasn't been able to match his historic 50-50 campaign from 2024, but Ohtani swiped his 20th bag of the year Friday, the third straight season he's reached that mark. His power numbers haven't regressed as he looks to defend his MVP crown -- he's headed for his third straight campaign with an OPS over 1.000, slashing .279/.390/.616 through 720 plate appearances with 54 homers and 101 RBI, including nine long balls in 23 September contests.

Scott gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 23rd save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Mariners. He struck out two.

The left-hander has looked a little more stable over the last couple weeks, giving up runs in only one of his last seven appearances. Scott has still blown three of seven save chances since returning from elbow inflammation in late August, however, stumbling to a 7.15 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB in 11.1 innings over that span. The Dodgers have plenty of other high-leverage relief options if those struggles resurface in the playoffs, including Roki Sasaki, who struck out two in a scoreless seventh inning Friday to collect his second hold and topped out at 100.1 mph with his fastball.

Sheehan didn't factor into the decision Friday, getting the start but working only one inning in a 3-2 victory over the Mariners. He gave up one unearned run on one hit while striking out three.

The Dodgers will shift the 25-year-old right-hander to the bullpen in the playoffs, and Sheehan looked like he will have no issues adapting to the role, topping out at 97.6 mph with his fastball as he struck out the side around a single, a wild pitch and an error. If this was Sheehan's final appearance of the regular season, he'll put 2025 in the books with a 2.82 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 89:22 K:BB through 73.1 innings, and he could have a prominent spot in the Dodgers' 2026 rotation plans.

Chourio went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Reds.

The steal was his 20th of the season, giving Chourio his second straight 20-20 campaign to begin his big-league career. The 21-year-old outfielder is slumping heading into the postseason, however, going 1-for-20 over his last five games and slashing .188/.258/.294 through 98 plate appearances in September.

Priester (13-3) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings as the Brewers fell 3-1 to the Reds. He struck out four.

For the first time since May 13, Priester found his name in the loss column, ending a streak of 12 straight winning decisions. The right-hander is still taking plenty of momentum into the postseason, however -- he hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start since Aug. 10, posting a 2.79 ERA over his last seven trips to the mound and 38.2 innings. With Milwaukee locked into a first-round bye, Priester will close the books on his 2025 regular season having compiled a 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 132:50 K:BB in 157.1 innings.

Pagan struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 31st save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Brewers.

The veteran reliever helped get the Reds one step closer to the playoffs, firing seven of 12 pitches for strikes and getting two infield pop-ups after fanning William Contreras. Since his last blown save Sept. 1, Pagan has delivered a 0.82 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB over 11 innings while converting five straight save chances.

Littell came away with a no-decision in Friday's 3-1 win over the Brewers, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander needed 85 pitches (55 strikes) to record 14 outs, and with the Reds in a tight race for a wild-card spot, Littell was lifted from a 1-1 tie after Jackson Chourio reached on an error in the fifth inning. Littell wraps up his 2025 regular season with a career-high 10 wins, along with a 3.81 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 130:32 K:BB through 186.2 innings split between Cincy and Tampa Bay.
