Walker Buehler holds Yankees to one run in no-decision

Pagán was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the final frame and managed to work around a one-out walk to Michael Busch to preserve the win. The 35-year-old veteran stopper has converted all 17 of his save opportunities since the All-Star break.

Burns didn’t stick around long enough to factor into the decision as the Reds continue to carefully manage his workload down the home stretch. The hard-throwing phenom was permitted to throw 67 pitches over three frames in his penultimate outing. He struck out four and also issued a pair of walks. He allowed four hits, including a solo homer to veteran outfielder Ian Happ. He’ll wrap up the season with a road tilt against Atlanta on Thursday. Burns offers enough strikeout upside to be worth starting in deeper mixed leagues, but the workload limitations cap his realistic upside and make it difficult to justify rolling with him in shallow fantasy leagues.

Holmes dealt with plenty of traffic on the basepaths, handing out five walks while only notching four strikeouts. It was his second meltdown in his last three starts after giving up a season-high eight runs to the Marlins back on September 6. It’s extremely challenging for fantasy managers to trust Holmes when he wraps up the regular season with a home matchup against those same Marlins on Thursday.

The 31-year-old right-hander was designated for assignment earlier in the week and passed through waivers unclaimed. He’ll now have the option to accept the outright assignment or hit the open market.

Bericoto had been shelved since late August due to a bone bruise in his right knee that he suffered after running into the outfield wall in Boston. He’ll replace the injured Nate Furman (oblique) on the Giants’ bench.

The Giants had been hopeful that Furman would be able to play through the issue, but after a couple of days it made more sense to sit him down and let the injury heal properly. Victor Bericoto was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Friday night.

Davitt will get his first opportunity to show the Giants what he can do after he was plucked off of waivers from the Braves earlier in the month. the 26-year-old hurler holds a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 1/1 K/BB ratio over two innings in two appearances at the MLB level this season.

That will unfortunately end the 29-year-old right-hander’s season prematurely. Webb finishes the 2026 campaign with a 4.31 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 134/41 K/BB ratio over 160 2/3 innings in his 27 starts. He obviously has plenty of time to overcome the blister issue before the start of the 2027 season.

Chisholm has been shelved since September 9 due to a right thumb sprain. It sounds like he’s making considerable progress in his recovery though and could only be days away from a return to the Yankees’ lineup.

The 32-year-old outfielder had a labral repair with decompression and a cam resection procedure. Everything went according to plan, and Buxton is expected to be fully recovered and ready to go in time for spring training.
