Sheets isn't in the lineup Saturday for Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Brewers.

Sheets will retreat to the dugout against a right-hander for the second game in a row Saturday, allowing Luis Campusano to work as San Diego's designated hitter.

Vaughn isn't in the lineup Saturday for Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Padres.

Vaughn is on the Brewers' NLDS roster and fully healthy after ending the regular season on the injured list due to an illness, but Milwaukee will keep him on the bench to begin Game 1 despite a matchup against left-hander Robbie Ray. While Vaughn sits, Jake Bauers will start at first base, and Christian Yelich will serve as the designated hitter.

Steer recently underwent successful surgery on his right wrist, Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media reports.

Steer suffered a partial tear of the tendon sheath in his right wrist in late July, and despite his best efforts to rehab the injury, he ended up sitting out the rest of the season. He's now gone under the knife to address the issue and is expected to be fully recovered by the time spring training begins.

The Mariners claimed Toglia (shoulder) off waivers from the Reds on Friday.

Toglia is recovering from late August surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, but the Mariners felt he was worthy of a waiver claim even though he'll spend the next few months rehabbing. The 28-year-old was dreadful in limited action for the Reds in 2026, going 3-for-26 with 12 strikeouts.

Young (concussion) is expected to have a relatively normal offseason and be ready for the start of spring training, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Young suffered a concussion and had to be stretchered off the field as a result of a Sept. 17 collision with teammate Nolan McLean. He's still experiencing concussion symptoms and hasn't regained all of his hearing yet, but Young has been progressing steadily and doesn't expect any long-term effects. The 31-year-old Young should be in the mix for playing time between first base and designated hitter with the Mets in 2027.

Sheets isn't in the lineup Wednesday for Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Cubs.

Sheets will step out of the starting nine despite Chicago sending right-hander Kevin Gausman to the mound to begin Wednesday's contest. Sheets' absence will allow Austin Hays to work as San Diego's designated hitter while batting eighth.

Vaughn (illness) has been cleared to go through a full team workout with the Brewers on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Vaughn last played in a game Sept. 19, as he dealt with a stomach bug that caused him to lose 10 pounds. He is now considered fully healthy and will be included on the Brewers' NLDS roster, likely seeing some opportunities against left-handers.

Sheets went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Sheets blasted a solo shot to right-center field in the fourth inning before being replaced at designated hitter by Luis Campusano. Sheets has gone 2-for-7 (.286) in two contests since being reinstated from the injured list after recovering from a left foot sprain. He'll close the regular season with a .212/.313/.397 slash line, 17 homers, 48 RBI, 47 runs and four stolen bases over 125 games.

Lewis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

Lewis launched a solo shot in the eighth inning, tallying his second game with a homer and a steal this season. It was a nice end to an otherwise forgettable September in which he hit just .209 with two home runs and 11 RBI. Overall, the 27-year-old finished an inconsistent campaign slashing .227/.287/.380 with 15 long balls, 57 RBI, 51 runs scored and 16 stolen bases across 509 plate appearances.

Walker went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 9-0 win over the A's.

Walker extended Houston's lead to 5-0 in the sixth inning with a solo shot off Scott Blewett, his 29th homer this year. Walker will head into the postseason on a hot streak, going 8-for-23 (.348) with four homers in his last six games. Overall, Walker slashed .226/.299/.427 across 635 regular-season plate appearances with 87 RBI and 73 runs scored.
