Taylor went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.

Taylor didn't start this contest, but he pinch ran for presumptive National League MVP Pete Crow-Armstrong in the first inning and proceeded to come across twice for the Cubs. The 32-year-old outfielder fit in well with Chicago, posting a .351/.390/.500 slash line across 74 at-bats in 30 games with the team since coming over at the trade deadline. Taylor gives the Cubs a reliable veteran presence on the bench heading into the postseason, and his defensive prowess could get him off the pine frequently late in close contests.

Hays went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-4 win over Arizona.

Hays picked up a pair of singles, with his eighth-inning knock scoring two runs. Since joining San Diego in early August, the veteran has slashed .316/.344/.456 with two homers, eight RBI and 13 runs in 26 games. While he drew the start against right-handed starter Michael Soroka on Sunday, Hays is likely to be relegated to a short-side platoon role in the postseason.

Dubon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Marlins.

Dubon opened the scoring by launching a solo shot in the third inning, later adding an RBI single in the seventh frame. The utility man has been heating up, hitting .325/.367/.470 with two homers, nine RBI, eight runs and three stolen bases in 22 September contests. Overall, Dubon will close the regular season with a .276/.321/.399 slash line, 12 homers, 73 RBI, 66 runs and 10 stolen bases in 153 games.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.

Hernandez hammered a center-cut changeup to left-center field in the fourth inning for his 25th homer of the campaign. The outfielder snapped a 17-game drought with that long ball, as his previous homer came Sept. 6 against the Cubs. With the Marlins' season officially over, Hernandez will close 2026 with a .228/.313/.442 slash line, 25 homers, 67 RBI, 51 runs and 13 stolen bases across 130 games.

Pages went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk Sunday in a 5-1 extra-inning over the Giants.

Pages gave the Dodgers insurance with a three-run jack in the 10th inning. The outfielder certainly appears to have his timing at the plate following a monthlong stay on the injured list, going 6-for-18 with two homers, one double and five RBI in his last six games. He heads into the postseason after hitting .274 with 23 long balls, 85 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 75 runs scored over 511 at-bats in the regular season.

Siri went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.

Siri also supplied a sacrifice bunt in his first plate appearance of the game. The outfielder's homer came in the eighth inning, getting him to 10 long balls on the year. He hit .241 with a .713 OPS, 33 RBI, 36 runs scored, 10 doubles and nine stolen bases over 251 plate appearances across 108 contests with the Angels this year.

Chourio went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.

Chourio got a couple of rest days in the final week of the season since the Brewers were able to lock up the top spot in the National League. The outfielder had an excellent month, going 33-for-98 (.337) with 18 RBI over 24 contests in September. He ends the regular season batting .291 with an .838 OPS, 23 stolen bases and 25 homers, all personal bests. He added 75 RBI, 96 runs scored and 27 doubles over just 127 games.

Adell went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.

Adell went just 23-for-95 (.242) over 25 games in September, adding three homers and 11 RBI. The outfielder batted .240 with a .699 OPS this season. He produced 23 homers, 94 RBI, 70 runs scored, 26 doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over a career-high 159 contests between the Guardians and the Angels. While his overall profile was mostly steady compared to his career year in 2025, he regressed in the power department.

Schneemann went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.

Schneemann saw a bench role after returning to the majors at the start of September. He went 3-for-10 over eight games this month. On the year, he hit just .210 with a .608 OPS, seven homers, 30 RBI, 30 runs scored, 11 doubles and seven steals over 286 plate appearances. Schneemann is not a lock to be on the postseason roster, and even if he makes it, he'll likely serve as a utility option off the bench.

DeLuca went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Phillies.

DeLuca got the Rays on the board in the fifth inning with his solo shot off Zack Wheeler before adding a second homer in the seventh off Alex McFarlane. It's the first career multi-homer game for DeLuca, who totaled 11 long balls this year. The outfielder finished the regular season strong, going 9-for-23 (.391) over his last six games. Overall, DeLuca slashed .266/.300/.429 with 50 RBI, 44 runs scored and 17 stolen bases across 370 regular-season plate appearances.
