Ryan is slated to start Sunday's game against the Pirates at Comerica Park, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Ryan will get a second turn through the rotation to close out the Tigers' season. After getting called up form Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Ryan started and struck out three batters over three shutout frames in a no-decision against the Nationals. He tossed 43 pitches in that outing and will once again be operating with a restricted workload Sunday, making him a risky option for fantasy managers streaming him with the hope of scooping up a win. Keider Montero or Jack Flaherty (forearm) could end up piggybacking Ryan in the season finale.

Weathers (forearm) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Weathers will be facing fellow rehabbers Giancarlo Stanton (calves) and Trent Grisham (hamstring) in the session. It will be his first time facing hitters since he suffered a left forearm flexor strain in late August. Weathers hopes to convince the Yankees he's ready to pitch in a relief role for the wild-card series.

Sears is expected to pitch out of the bullpen at some point during Friday's game against the Pirates, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Sears had started in each of his last three appearances, but he'll shift to a relief role to close out the campaign after he was roughed up for six unearned runs while retiring just two batters his last time out Friday against the White Sox. Over five total outings with Detroit this season, Sears has submitted a 5.19 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB across 17.1 frames.

Woo (12-10) allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out eight over 5.1 innings to take the loss Thursday versus the Angels.

The story of Woo's season was extreme home/road splits, but he ended the campaign with 11 runs allowed (10 earned) over his last 17.1 innings at T-Mobile Park. Overall, it concludes as a mostly average campaign for Woo, who had a 4.01 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 175:39 K:BB across 173 innings over 30 starts. He still figures to be a major part of the Mariners' rotation moving forward.

Rodriguez (5-8) allowed four runs on five hits and five walks while striking out two over five innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Thursday.

Rodriguez wasn't great, but he did enough to end his season on a winning note. However, the five walks were a season high, and he allowed 19 runs over 27 innings across his five starts in September. Rodriguez ends 2026 at a 6.02 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 85:43 K:BB through 98.2 innings over 20 starts, failing to revitalize his young career with a change of scenery this year.

Lambert allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Thursday.

Lambert was tagged for home runs by Jeff McNeil and Zack Gelof in the third inning, accounting for all four runs on his line. While Lambert was mostly steady in the second half, he ends the regular season without a win in his last 13 appearances. He posted a 3.87 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 153:59 K:BB across 153.2 innings over 28 starts in 2026. The Astros' largely unimpressive rotation could lead to Lambert getting a start during the wild-card round if they're able to win the AL West.

The Yankees optioned Gil to the rookie-level Florida Complex League following Thursday's 6-4 win over the Rays.

Gil handed out four free passes in two innings Thursday, leading to an unearned run. He has been used infrequently this month, as Thursday's outing was just Gil's fourth of September. A corresponding move was not immediately announced, but the Yankees figure to add a fresh arm or two ahead of Friday's doubleheader against Baltimore.

Schlittler took a no-decision Thursday against the Rays, striking out five while allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks in three innings.

With the postseason looming, the Yankees took it easy on the American League Cy Young frontrunner Thursday. Schlittler tossed just 70 pitches Thursday, setting him up to draw the start in the American League Wild Card Series. Schlittler completes a fabulous regular season that saw him post a 1.95 ERA, which is the third best in Yankees history, 0.92 WHIP and 239:49 K:BB over 193.2 innings.

Cantillo (11-9) notched the win Thursday against Boston, striking out two while allowing one hit and two walks in five shutout innings of relief.

Cantillo was dominant in bulk relief Thursday, scattering a lone hit in a scoreless outing to help Cleveland clinch a third consecutive postseason berth. The left-hander is steamrolling his way into the playoffs, riding a scoreless streak of 15 innings covering his last three appearances in long relief. His regular season reaches an end with a 3.62 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 171:81 K:BB across 159 frames.

Suarez (8-5) took the loss Thursday against Cleveland, striking out five while allowing one run on three hits and one walk in five innings.

The lone blemish came in the second inning, when Angel Martinez took Suarez yard for a solo homer. The southpaw still looked sharp for the most part in what was effectively a tune-up start ahead of the postseason, and he's now worked at least five innings while yielding fewer than two runs in four straight outings. His regular season ends with a strong 3.22 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 140:46 K:BB over 148.1 innings in his debut season with the Red Sox.
