Seymour is slated to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers in what's likely to be a bullpen day.

Seymour made nine starts at Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the season but has made all 24 of his appearances with the Giants to date out of the bullpen. He hasn't recorded more than five outs in any outing since Aug. 15, so the right-hander may be in line for just a 1-to-2-inning start in the season finale.

Clarke allowed one run on three hits and a hit batsman over two-thirds of an inning in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday. He didn't record a strikeout or a walk.

Clarke ended up struggling as an opener for the bullpen game, though he was far from alone in laboring on the mound. The Padres put up at least one run in five of the first six innings, and the back-and-forth nature of the game kept Clarke from being on the hook for the loss. While he has a strong 2.96 ERA over 73 innings this season, he's surrendered seven runs (six earned) over his last six innings to stumble to the finish line.

Ashby earned the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals, striking out two batters across two innings.

Ashby was brought out of the bullpen for the eighth inning, and he needed 26 pitches (13 strikes) to secure the two-frame save, ending the game by striking out Leo Bernal in the ninth. It was the fourth save of the season for Ashby, who has struck out two batters in three of his last five outings. He has a 3.12 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 89.1 innings this season, along with a career-best 116 strikeouts.

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.

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.

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.

Blalock took a no-decision Saturday against Atlanta, striking out three while allowing two runs on two hits and one walk in 3.1 relief innings.

With the Marlins going with a bullpen game Saturday, Blalock ate some innings as the bulk reliever but wasn't particularly effective. The right-hander hasn't pitched at least four frames in any of his four big-league outings this year, turning in a lone scoreless appearance. He's wrapping up the campaign with a 5.56 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB over 11.1 innings for Miami.

Montgomery (6-4) blew the save and took the loss Saturday as the Pirates fell 4-3 to the Tigers, giving up three runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.

The southpaw was the seventh pitcher of the afternoon for Pittsburgh in a bullpen day, but Montgomery couldn't protect a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, instead watching Eduardo Valencia walk it off with a two-run homer. It was Montgomery's third blown save of the season and his first since becoming the Bucs' primary closer after the All-Star break, ending a stretch of 17 straight conversions. Montgomery boasts a 2.93 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 103:26 K:BB in 67.2 innings during a breakout campaign.

The Padres optioned Hart to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

Hart will be pushed off the Padres' active roster in order to make room for Gavin Sheets (foot), who returned from the injured list Saturday. The 33-year-old southpaw will finish the season with a 4.92 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 64 innings with San Diego.

The Padres recalled Canning from the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

Canning was pushed off the active roster Wednesday, but he'll rejoin the Friars' pitching staff as the replacement for Casey Mize (ankle), who landed on the injured list Saturday. Canning carries a 5.57 ERA through 85.2 innings in the majors this season but has been much more effective recently, allowing just one earned run in his last 14.2 frames.
