Erik Tolman RP | WAS
Nationals' Erik Tolman: Grabs fifth save
Tolman earned the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Mets, allowing a walk and no hits while striking out two over 1.1 innings.
Tolman quickly worked his way into a high-leverage role in Washington, after making his MLB debut in late August. He'll finish the year with five saves, a 2.93 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across 15.1 innings. The left-handed Holman will likely be in the mix for a late-inning role again with the Nats in 2027.

Sean Manaea SP | NYM
Mets' Sean Manaea: Falls to Nats in finale
Manaea (6-8) took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out three.
It was a tough way to end the year for Manaea, who'd given up just four earned runs across 11.1 innings while striking out 11 in his previous two outings. The veteran left-hander will finish with a 4.78 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 144:44 K:BB across 150.2 innings this season. Manaea is under contract with the Mets again in 2027, though it remains to be seen whether or not he'll remain in the starting rotation.

Carlos Rodon SP | NYY
Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Bullpen role for playoffs
Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Sunday that he expects to have Rodon pitch out of the bullpen for the American League Wild Card series against the Red Sox, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
The Yankees already announced their rotation for the Wild Card series, with Cam Schlittler taking the mound for Game 1 on Tuesday, followed by Max Fried and Gerrit Cole. Rodon will thus be deployed out of the bullpen, though he could return if the Yankees make a deep run in the postseason. He posted a 7-3 record across 16 starts this season with a 2.67 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 84.1 innings.

Yankees' Elmer Rodriguez: Sunday's game canceled
Sunday's regular-season finale between the Yankees and Orioles has been canceled due to inclement weather and will not be rescheduled.
Rodriguez was slated to be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to pitch in Sunday's regular-season finale, but the game has been rained out and will not be made up at a future date. Rodriguez made his major-league debut April 29 and started in six games for the Yankees, going 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 26.2 innings.

Shane Baz SP | BAL
Orioles' Shane Baz: Game 162 canceled
Baz will not start in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Yankees due to inclement weather, and the game will not be rescheduled.
Sunday's game didn't carry much meaning, given that the Yankees are locked in as the No. 4 seed in the American League playoffs and the Orioles are eliminated from postseason contention. Baz will end the 2026 regular season with a 6-15 record across 31 starts and a 4.11 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 154:63 K:BB over a career-high 179.2 innings.

Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Officially placed on IL
The Dodgers placed Treinen (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.
Treinen injured his right shoulder while warming up in the bullpen during Saturday's game against the Giants. Per Fabian, the Dodgers suspect that Treinen suffered a capsule injury, and the right-hander will undergo an MRI on Monday to get more clarity on the matter. Bobby Miller was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

The Astros optioned Blanco to the minors Sunday.
The move corresponds with Raynel Delgado being recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land, and he will provide the Astros with depth in the infield for Sunday's regular-season finale. Blanco will end the regular season with a 6.68 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 33.2 innings.

The Astros recalled Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Delgado will give the Astros some extra depth in the infield for Sunday's regular-season finale. He's appeared in 19 games for the Astros this season, going 9-for-37 (.243) with one home run and four RBI in the majors. Ronel Blanco was optioned to the minors in a corresponding move.

Gabriel Moreno C | ARI
Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Scratched from Sunday's lineup
Moreno (hamstring) has been removed from Sunday's lineup against the Padres, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Moreno was initially slated to serve as the designated hitter for Sunday's must-win game. However, he has now been scratched due to a hamstring issue that cropped up Friday, though he could be available off the bench as a pinch hitter. Pavin Smith will now be the designated hitter, with Jordan Lawlar entering the lineup in center field while Tim Tawa moves to first base.
