    Jackson Jobe delivered a strong performance in his final start of the season on Friday night, racking up eight strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings of two-run baseball in a victory over the Pirates.

    The 24-year-old right-hander scattered three hits on the evening while walking two. All of the damage done against him came in the second inning as Ryan O’Hearn smacked an RBI single and scored on an RBI double off the bat of Spencer Horwitz. Jobe generated 14 swings and misses on 86 pitches in the contest — five on his fastball — while registering an elite CSW of 41 percent. He finishes the 2026 season with a 3-3 record, 3.94 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 51/16 K/BB ratio over 46 innings in his nine starts. The arrow is pointing sky high on Jobe heading into the 2027 season.

    Jobe struck out nine, but he managed to allow runs in three separate innings despite giving up just four hits and one walk on the afternoon. He gave up a run in the first on a walk, a steal and then a soft flyball single that left fielder Brett Callahan got a bad jump on. The run in the fifth was a product of a HBP, a single, a walk and a sac fly, and he surrendered a solo homer to Miguel Vargas in the sixth. Jobe is 2-3 with a 3.98 ERA. He’ll face the Pirates next weekend.

    The 24-year-old righty scattered just three hits and one walk in the impressive outing. The only blemish on his day came on a solo blast off the bat of Adael Amador in the top half of the first inning. After that, he was in complete command. Jobe generated 16 swings and misses on 87 pitches on the day, posting a strong CSW of 34 percent. He’ll look to replicate this effort when he brings a 3.89 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a 34/13 K/BB ratio (34 2/3 innings) into Friday’s matchup against the White Sox in Chicago.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    Jobe gave up four hits, walked two and struck out seven. He bounced back after allowing five runs in his last start, a loss to the Twins. Jobe was sharper and his seven strikeouts were the most he’s had in a start since returning from injury and tied his career-high that was set last year. He has a 4.45 ERA. Jobe is lined up to face the Rockies at home next weekend.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    Jobe gave up six hits, walked two and struck out four. He fell to 1-2 in five starts with the loss. Jobe was victimized by two home runs, allowing a solo shot to Kody Clemens in the fourth inning and a three-run shot to Ryan Jeffers in the fifth inning. Jobe has only allowed four home runs in 23 1/3 innings, but more concerning is his 4.63 ERA and 19 strikeouts. He’s lined up to face the Guardians on the road on Saturday.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    Jobe gave up four hits, walked three and struck out four. The 24-year-old right-hander has had four starts since coming off the injured list and allowed one run or less in three of them. Jobe hasn’t completed more than five innings in any of his starts and was removed after 4 1/3 innings Tuesday. He has a 3.93 ERA. Jobe is lined up to face the Twins on the road next week.

    He outdueled Paul Skenes today, but the two-run lead he left with failed to hold up. Jobe finished up with three strikeouts and three walks, giving him an 11/5 K/BB in 14 innings since he came off the IL. His first start back was more exciting and encouraging that the last two, and he seems like a fringe mixed-league option in a lone start at home against the Rays next week.

    The 24-year-old hurler struck out four batters in the ballgame while issuing just one walk. He had only allowed one run through the first three innings, but the wheels fell off for him in the fourth inning. There, the White Sox struck for five runs as Tristan Peters slugged a two-run homer, Munetaka Murakami added a solo shot and Braden Montgomery smacked a two-run triple. Jobe got seven whiffs on 74 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll try to put this rough outing behind him as he brings a 6.23 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and an 8/2 K/BB ratio into Wednesday’s battle against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

    Jobe gave up one hit, walked one and struck out four. You couldn’t have asked for a better outing in his first start since May of last year after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Jobe had never touched 100 mph before in the major leagues, but reached that mark on his first inning strikeout of Bryce Eldridge. In the second inning, he struck out Rafael Devers on three pitches, the last of which being a wipeout changeup. Jobe threw 71 pitches and will continue to be on a pitch count for at least his next few starts. That might hinder his ability to work deep into games right now, but Jobe certainly showed enough to be worth grabbing in mixed leagues. He’s lined up to face the White Sox next weekend.

    While he won’t make his highly anticipated 2026 debut until Saturday, Jobe rejoins the Tigers’ active roster on Friday evening. If the Tigers are going to make a serious push for a playoff berth in the American League, Jobe is going to have to play a major role in making up for the departures of Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize. Brenan Hanifee was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    Jobe will draw into Detroit’s new-look rotation following the departures of Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize at the trade deadline when they kick off a three-game series in San Francisco later this week. The hard-throwing 24-year-old was one of the top pitching prospects in baseball in the not-so-distant past and will be making his return to the majors after missing most of the last two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. He’s struck out 17 batters over 15 1/3 innings during five minor league rehab outings. There are probably going to be some workload restrictions down the home stretch, but Jobe is the type of talent that fantasy managers should at the very least be monitoring closely.

    Blue Jays sent LHP Joe Mantiply outright to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Mantiply will elect free agency and get a head start on the offseason after being removed from Toronto’s roster last week. The 35-year-old veteran reliever posted a respectable 3.33 ERA across 27 innings last season.

    Diamondbacks sent OF Jesús Sánchez outright to Triple-A Reno.

    Sánchez will head to free agency this offseason after a six-game stint with the Diamondbacks where he went 2-for-15 after being claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays in mid-September. The 28-year-old corner outfielder hit just .260/.318/.416 with eight homers and one steal in 299 plate appearances before Toronto decided to pull the plug. He should be able to land on his feet as a strong-side platoon outfield option somewhere this offseason.

    Cubs sent LHP Antoine Kelly outright to Triple-A Iowa.

    Kelly will remain with Chicago as organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 26-year-old lost his spot after the Cubs claimed Julian Aguiar from the Reds over the weekend. He made one appearance in the big leagues earlier this season, tossing 1 1/3 scoreless frames.

    Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Edgardo Henriquez (back) has progressed to facing hitters in a live batting practice session.

    Gomes noted that Henriquez is trending in a positive direction, which seems to indicate that he’ll be on Los Angeles’ playoff roster when they kick off an NL Division Series matchup this weekend. The hard-throwing 24-year-old high-leverage specialist posted a strong 2.85 ERA and 71/25 K/BB ratio across 60 innings before hitting the injured list with lower back discomfort on September 14.

    Liam Hendriks announced his retirement from professional baseball.

    For all Hendriks accomplished during his lengthy major-league career, it will be his inspiring comeback after beating non-Hodgkin lymphoma that he is remembered for most. The 37-year-old reliever hangs up his spikes after a 14-year odyssey where he spent time with six different organizations, compiling 116 saves along with a 3.88 ERA across 663 2/3 innings. He was a three-time All-Star in addition to being a two-time winner of the Mariano Rivera Reliever of the Year Award.

    Alex Bregman is at DH and hitting second for Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Padres.

    Bregman is ready for the start of the postseason after returning to Chicago’s lineup less than one week after suffering multiple facial fractures when he was hit by a foul ball in the on-deck circle. It’ll be rookie Pedro Ramírez filling in at the hot corner with Bregman limited to DH as he continues to recover. Here’s the full lineup for Tuesday’s series opener in San Diego: Pete Crow-Armstrong (CF), Bregman (DH), Michael Busch (1B), Seiya Suzuki (RF), Ian Happ (LF), Nico Hoerner (2B), Ramírez (3B), Carson Kelly (C) and Dansby Swanson (SS).

    Zebby Matthews has been diagnosed with a flexor pronator strain in his right elbow.

    Matthews is expected to be ready for the start of next season, but it’s a variable that could potentially impact his availability. The 26-year-old continues to show flashes of fantasy potential, but struggled to an inflated 4.90 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 116/39 K/BB ratio across 130 1/3 innings over 23 starts this past season.

    Walker Jenkins will undergo surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow on Wednesday.

    One of the top prospects in baseball, Jenkins hit just .226/.293/.393 with four homers, 10 RBI and one steal in 93 plate appearances over 26 games after receiving a late-season promotion to Minnesota. The 21-year-old former top-five pick should be a full-go at the start of spring training given the nature of the procedure, but fantasy managers should monitor his status throughout the offseason to ensure that he’s on track for the outset of the regular season.

    Fernando Tatis Jr. is in right field and hitting leadoff in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Cubs.

    The biggest surprise here is sparkplug Samad Taylor getting a chance to face Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd in the second spot in the order with Dustin Harris presumably set to come off the bench in his place once Chicago goes to the bullpen. Here’s the full lineup as San Diego kicks off the postseason at Petco Park with Michael King on the hill: Tatis Jr. (RF), Taylor (LF), Manny Machado (3B), Ty France (1B), Jackson Merrill (CF), Austin Hays (DH), Xander Bogaerts (SS), Jake Cronenworth (2B) and Luis Campusano (C).

    Tyler Mahle will start Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Phillies.

    Mahle was phenomenal for Atlanta, compiling a microscopic 1.99 ERA across 54 1/3 innings over nine starts after coming over from the Giants as an under-the-radar trade-deadline pickup. The 32-year-old will be making his first career postseason start when he gets the ball with a chance to eliminate the division-rival Phillies.
