Harris went 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles, one RBI and three runs scored in an 8-3 win over Miami on Saturday.

After a slow start to the month of September, Harris is heating up just in time for the postseason, The center fielder has picked up multiple hits in seven of his last 13 games, while two of his four-hit attacks on the year have come during that span. He's hitting .294 with a career-high 26 big flies, 36 doubles, 87 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 79 runs scored over 591 at-bats in a bounce-back campaign.

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.

Snell took a no-decision Saturday against the Giants, allowing one run on five hits and no walks in four innings. He struck out three.

Snell experienced left groin tightness during his most recent in Cincinnati, but he looked healthy in a tune-up start Saturday ahead of the playoffs. The southpaw missed a big chunk of the year due to shoulder and elbow issues, which limited him to nine starts, but he yielded fewer than two runs each time out besides his first outing way back on May 9. He's rolling into the postseason with a 1.90 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 55:16 K:BB over 42.2 regular-season 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.

Wilkinson took a no-decision Saturday against the Dodgers, striking out two while allowing one run on one hit and one walk in three innings.

Mookie Betts took Wilkinson deep in the third inning, but it was an otherwise positive showing for the hurler against a tough lineup. The rookie left-hander has done serviceable work for the depleted Giants -- Saturday's solo homer was his first run allowed altogether in his last four outings (13 frames). He's closing the campaign with a promising 3.58 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB over 27.2 innings for San Francisco.

Baldwin went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 8-3 win over Miami.

Baldwin looks to be ready to roll for the postseason for Atlanta. The slugging backstop has tallied multiple hits in seven of his last 11 games, rapping five extra-base hits during that stretch. He's been one of fantasy's top catchers in 2026, hitting .284 with 25 home runs, 79 RBI, 55 walks and 85 runs scored over 549 at-bats.

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.

Lowder (7-12) picked up the win Saturday, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings in a 5-1 victory over the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

In his final start of 2026, Lowder put together one of his best performances, tossing 50 of 79 pitches for strikes en route to his seventh quality start of the year and first since Aug. 22. The right-hander ends the season with a lackluster 5.74 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 103:56 K:BB in 133.1 innings, but with Hunter Greene (elbow) likely out until 2028, there could be a spot for Lowder in the Reds rotation next year depending on the team's offseason moves.

Saggese will start at shortstop and bat eighth Saturday against the Brewers, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Saggese was originally in line to sit out Saturday's contest, but he'll be forced back into the starting nine as Masyn Winn moves to the bench with a sore thumb. Saggese is on track to end the season on a sour note after going 0-for-20 with 10 strikeouts across his last six games.
