Cameron did not factor into the decision during Friday's 12-9 loss to the Guardians. He allowed seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and four walks while striking out three over five innings.

Cameron allowed his most runs since July 19. Despite the seven spot, the left-hander completed his 15th consecutive outing of at least five innings dating back to July 6. The lefty served up long balls to David Fry and Austin Hedges while allowing 11 total base runners. With this being his last appearance of the season, the 27-year-old wraps up 2026 with a 9-8 record, 4.11 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 158:58 K:BB in 177.1 innings.

Detmers (7-8) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Friday.

Detmers struggled in his previous start, but he ends the year in a positive note. The southpaw allowed just eight runs over 30 innings across five starts in September, winning three of them while adding a 37:4 K:BB. Overall, he posted a 3.36 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 211:48 K:BB over 185 innings across 32 starts in 2026, just one year after serving as a full-time reliever. Detmers could attract significant offseason trade interest after his career year.

Pfaadt (8-3) allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out seven over 7.2 innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.

Pfaadt put the Diamondbacks in a good spot for the rest of the weekend, sparing the bullpen with a long outing. He threw 71 of 106 pitches for strikes and earned the win to keep Arizona's playoff hopes alive, gaining ground on the Phillies after their loss to the Rays. Pfaadt had gone six starts without a win prior to Friday. He ends the regular season at a 3.77 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 94:32 K:BB across 136 innings over 29 games (19 starts), and he's pitched well enough to warrant a start in the wild-card round if Arizona makes the postseason.

Mize (6-10) allowed seven runs on seven hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out one over four innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Mize gave up a home run in each of the first three innings. In his 10 starts as a Padre, he's posted a 7.46 ERA with 13 home runs allowed over 44.2 innings. He posted a 4.32 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 110:38 K:BB through 131.1 innings over 26 regular-season starts, but given his recent form, it'll be tough for San Diego to trust him with a start in the wild-card round.

Williams did not factor into decision in the Guardians' 12-9 win over the Royals on Friday. He allowed four runs on five hits and four walks. He struck out four.

Williams recorded his shortest start Friday since he lasted just 1.1 innings against the Angels on Aug. 25. The right-hander had trouble against Carter Jensen, giving up three RBI to the catcher, including a two-run homer in the second. Assuming this is his final start this season, Williams has posted a 14-8 record, 3.76 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 248:61 K:BB in 184.1 innings.

Skubal (12-7) pitched seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits and striking out 10 without walking a batter to earn the win over the Giants on Friday.

Skubal struggled against the Giants last week, but he bounced right back in his last start of the regular season. He likely could have kept going -- he exited at 75 pitches (60 strikes), but the Dodgers have no need to take unnecessary risks on the eve of the postseason. Skubal ends the regular season with a 2.72 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 186:27 K:BB over 158.2 innings across 26 starts between the Dodgers and the Tigers. He'll likely make a start during the NLDS on more than one week of rest.

Marte (0-2) allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Dodgers.

Marte allowed solo home runs to Teoscar Hernandez and Andy Pages in the second inning. Aside from those blasts, it was a decent performance for Marte in his last outing of the campaign, but the Giants mustered just three hits all game. Marte ends 2026 with a 4.44 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB across 24.1 innings over five games (three starts) in the majors, as well as a 3.92 ERA in 64.1 innings for Double-A Richmond. Don't be surprised if the Giants have Marte stay away from the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League by putting him back in Double-A if he misses out on the Opening Day roster next year.

Burke (11-7) earned the win after allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Rockies on Friday. He struck out seven.

Burke recorded his third consecutive win and his fourth victory in his last five starts Friday against Colorado. The right-hander gave up only one mistake, allowing a solo shot by TJ Rumfield in the second inning. Assuming this is his last appearance of the season, the 26-year-old posted a 3.34 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 185:62 K:BB in 172.1 innings.

Sugano (12-12) earned the loss after allowing four runs on six hits over 6.2 innings against the White Sox on Friday. He struck out two.

Sugano matched his season high in innings pitched (6.2) and strikeouts (five) after leaving the game with two outs in the seventh. The right-hander gave up two mistakes to fellow Japanese native Munetaka Murakami after he took him deep twice Friday. Assuming this is his final appearance of the season, Sugano posted a 5.37 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 96:36 K:BB in 154.1 innings.

Alvarez did not factor into the decision Friday against the Mets, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out seven across 4.2 innings.

Friday was the first time since July 7 against the Astros that Alvarez had given up more than three earned runs in a start, a streak that spanned 12 outings. He gave up runs in three of the five frame he pitched in, including solo home runs to Bo Bichette and Carson Benge in the fifth. It was a bit of a disappointing way to wrap up the 2026 regular season for Alvarez, but the 27-year-old southpaw will end the year with a 3.43 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 114:51 K:BB across 112.2 innings.
