Lee went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

Lee continued his strong recent stretch of a play with another multi-hit performance. Over his last eight games, the rookie infielder is batting .371 with a home run, four runs scored and four RBI. Lee will get one more chance to add to his stats if he's in the lineup Sunday before turning his attention toward 2027. The 23-year-old has shown plenty of promise and figures to be a key part of Detroit's future plans.

Simpson (foot) is not playing in Saturday's game against the Phillies and is unlikely to play in Sunday's regular-season finale, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Simpson was pulled early from Friday's game after fouling a ball off his right foot in the sixth inning. He told reporters Saturday that his foot was "just a little sore," but it looks like the speedy outfielder will be sidelined until Game 1 of the American League Divisional Series on Oct. 3. If that's the case, then Simpson will finish the regular season with a .306/.333/.356 slash line with 46 steals (on 60 attempts), 38 RBI, 22 extra-base hits (no home runs) and 66 runs scored across 612 plate appearances.

Harris went 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles, one RBI and three runs scored in an 8-3 win over Miami on Saturday.

After a slow start to the month of September, Harris is heating up just in time for the postseason, The center fielder has picked up multiple hits in seven of his last 13 games, while two of his four-hit attacks on the year have come during that span. He's hitting .294 with a career-high 26 big flies, 36 doubles, 87 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 79 runs scored over 591 at-bats in a bounce-back campaign.

Scott earned the save Saturday against the Giants, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

That gives Scott a save on back-to-back days for the Dodgers. Edwin Diaz is being eased back into the fray following his latest stint on the injured list, and it remains to be seen if Los Angeles will be ready to get its former closer back into high-leverage situations in the postseason. Scott appears to be the favorite for saves heading into the playoffs, sporting a 2.69 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 82:15 K:BB with 25 saves (29 opportunities) and 13 holds across 63.2 innings.

Snell took a no-decision Saturday against the Giants, allowing one run on five hits and no walks in four innings. He struck out three.

Snell experienced left groin tightness during his most recent in Cincinnati, but he looked healthy in a tune-up start Saturday ahead of the playoffs. The southpaw missed a big chunk of the year due to shoulder and elbow issues, which limited him to nine starts, but he yielded fewer than two runs each time out besides his first outing way back on May 9. He's rolling into the postseason with a 1.90 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 55:16 K:BB over 42.2 regular-season innings.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Saturday that Treinen will be sidelined for the rest of the 2026 season due to a right shoulder injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Treinen injured his throwing shoulder while warming up in the bullpen during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Giants, and the injury is severe enough for the veteran reliever to be shelved for the rest of the 2026 campaign. He had recently returned from a nearly three-month stint on the IL due to an elbow injury, appearing in seven games since that reinstatement and posting a 4.05 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 6.2 innings. Treinen has one more year left on his contract with the Dodgers, though it remains to be seen whether he'll be ready for the start of spring training in February of 2027.

Wilkinson took a no-decision Saturday against the Dodgers, striking out two while allowing one run on one hit and one walk in three innings.

Mookie Betts took Wilkinson deep in the third inning, but it was an otherwise positive showing for the hurler against a tough lineup. The rookie left-hander has done serviceable work for the depleted Giants -- Saturday's solo homer was his first run allowed altogether in his last four outings (13 frames). He's closing the campaign with a promising 3.58 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB over 27.2 innings for San Francisco.

Lopez (ankle/heel) was removed from Saturday's game against the Twins, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Per Wilson, Lopez tweaked his left ankle/heel while trying to beat out a bunt at the top of the third inning, and he initially stayed in defensively before being replaced by Cody Freeman in the fourth. The Rangers should have an update on Lopez's status for Sunday's game once the veteran infielder undergoes more tests.

Baldwin went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 8-3 win over Miami.

Baldwin looks to be ready to roll for the postseason for Atlanta. The slugging backstop has tallied multiple hits in seven of his last 11 games, rapping five extra-base hits during that stretch. He's been one of fantasy's top catchers in 2026, hitting .284 with 25 home runs, 79 RBI, 55 walks and 85 runs scored over 549 at-bats.

Suter took a no-decision Saturday against Miami, allowing one hit and no walks in three shutout innings. He struck out three.

Suter got the start in a bullpen game and wasn't expected to work particularly deep into the outing, but he did log a team-high three frames Saturday. The crafty lefty should be a major multi-inning weapon out of the Atlanta bullpen this postseason -- he's recorded at least one strikeout in 10 consecutive appearances. Since joining Atlanta, he has a 1.63 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB in 27.2 innings.
