Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Sunday that he expects to have Rodon pitch out of the bullpen for the American League Wild Card series against the Red Sox, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

The Yankees already announced their rotation for the Wild Card series, with Cam Schlittler taking the mound for Game 1 on Tuesday, followed by Max Fried and Gerrit Cole. Rodon will thus be deployed out of the bullpen, though he could return if the Yankees make a deep run in the postseason. He posted a 7-3 record across 16 starts this season with a 2.67 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 84.1 innings.

Sunday's regular-season finale between the Yankees and Orioles has been canceled due to inclement weather and will not be rescheduled.

Rodriguez was slated to be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to pitch in Sunday's regular-season finale, but the game has been rained out and will not be made up at a future date. Rodriguez made his major-league debut April 29 and started in six games for the Yankees, going 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 26.2 innings.

Baz will not start in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Yankees due to inclement weather, and the game will not be rescheduled.

Sunday's game didn't carry much meaning, given that the Yankees are locked in as the No. 4 seed in the American League playoffs and the Orioles are eliminated from postseason contention. Baz will end the 2026 regular season with a 6-15 record across 31 starts and a 4.11 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 154:63 K:BB over a career-high 179.2 innings.

The Dodgers recalled Miller from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

The move corresponds with the Dodgers placing Blake Treinen (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list. The addition of Miller gives the Dodgers additional depth out of the bullpen for Sunday's regular-season finale.

The Dodgers placed Treinen (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Treinen injured his right shoulder while warming up in the bullpen during Saturday's game against the Giants. Per Fabian, the Dodgers suspect that Treinen suffered a capsule injury, and the right-hander will undergo an MRI on Monday to get more clarity on the matter. Bobby Miller was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

The Astros optioned Blanco to the minors Sunday.

The move corresponds with Raynel Delgado being recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land, and he will provide the Astros with depth in the infield for Sunday's regular-season finale. Blanco will end the regular season with a 6.68 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 33.2 innings.

The Astros recalled Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Delgado will give the Astros some extra depth in the infield for Sunday's regular-season finale. He's appeared in 19 games for the Astros this season, going 9-for-37 (.243) with one home run and four RBI in the majors. Ronel Blanco was optioned to the minors in a corresponding move.

Moreno (hamstring) has been removed from Sunday's lineup against the Padres, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Moreno was initially slated to serve as the designated hitter for Sunday's must-win game. However, he has now been scratched due to a hamstring issue that cropped up Friday, though he could be available off the bench as a pinch hitter. Pavin Smith will now be the designated hitter, with Jordan Lawlar entering the lineup in center field while Tim Tawa moves to first base.

Schlittler will start against the Red Sox on Tuesday in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series.

There had been some talk that New York might go with lefty Max Fried in the series opener, but manager Aaron Boone ultimately settled on Schlittler as his Game 1 starter. Schlittler is the favorite to win the AL Cy Young Award after he went 14-6 with a 1.95 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 239:49 K:BB over 193.2 innings for the Yankees during the regular season.

The Royals activated McArthur (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

McArthur began the year on the shelf and ultimately required a third elbow procedure in May to combat continued soreness and inflammation in the region. If he ends up pitching in Sunday's season finale for Kansas City, it will be McArthur's first big-league appearance since 2024.
