All Player News

Kyle Harrison

SF Starting Pitcher #82

Kyle Harrison threw five hitless innings against the Dodgers before being lifted Sunday.

The no-hitter ended immediately after he left, as the Dodgers busted out with five hits and five runs in the sixth. Harrison walked two and plunked three batters, with the last of those eventually forcing Chris Taylor out of the game. While Harrison has always been wild, he’d hit just six batters in 97 1/3 innings this season coming into this one. He ended up walking only 11 in 34 2/3 innings as a major leaguer, which was a positive development. He walked 48 in 67 2/3 innings in Triple-A. If the improvement holds up next spring, he should be a part of the Giants rotation from the get-go.
Bobby Miller

LAD Starting Pitcher #70

Bobby Miller worked four scoreless innings, striking out four, against the Giants on Sunday.

Miller winds up with a 3.19 ERA in his final six starts and an 11-4 record with a 3.76 ERA overall. He’s due to pitch in Game 2 of the NLDS on Oct. 9.
Joey Votto

CIN First Baseman #19

Joey Votto was ejected from Sunday’s game in the first inning for arguing balls and strikes.

That’s a way to go out. Votto was mad about strike two, which was clearly outside, before he struck out on a foul tip. The 40-year-old Votto ends the season at .202/.314/.433 with 14 homers in 65 games. Set for free agency, Votto hasn’t said whether he intends to play in 2024.
Kyle Bradish

BAL Starting Pitcher #39

Kyle Bradish was lifted after striking out five in two hitless innings Sunday against the Red Sox.

Bradish’s postseason tuneup couldn’t have gone any better. He ends the regular season on a 16-inning scoreless streak that lowered his ERA to 2.83. He’ll rank third in the AL in ERA and third or fourth in WHIP, depending on how George Kirby finishes up today.
Jazz Chisholm Jr.

MIA Center Fielder #2

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the Marlins’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Pirates.

Chisholm Jr. propelled the Marlins to their first full-season playoff berth since 2003 with a masterful 3-for-5 night on Saturday. The Marlins decided to give their electric outfielder an extra day of rest before the start of postseason action on Tuesday. On the season, the 25-year-old power/speed threat hit .252/.305/.462 with 19 homers and 22 stolen bases across 384 plate appearances and will likely be selected in the top ten rounds of drafts next spring.
Luis Arraez

MIA Second Baseman #3

Luis Arraez (ankle) is absent from the Marlins’ starting lineup for the regular-season finale on Sunday.

Arraez has missed the last seven games due to a sore left ankle. However, the 26-year-old appeared as a pinch-hitter in Friday’s come-from-behind win against the Pirates. He will get another couple of days of rest before the Marlins begin postseason action on Tuesday.
Miguel Rojas

LAD Shortstop #11

Miguel Rojas (hand) is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Giants.

Rojas was hit on the hand in Friday’s contest and will now miss his second game in a row. The 34-year-old should have plenty of time to rest up before Game 1 of the NLDS next weekend. Enrigue Hernández will handle shortstop duties while Rojas is out.
Cody Bellinger

CHC Center Fielder #24

Cody Bellinger is not in the Cubs’ starting lineup for Sunday’s contest against the Brewers.

Bellinger was a draft day value in his resurgent season with the Cubs. The former MVP hit .307/.356/.525 with 26 homers, 20 stolen bases, and 97 RBI across 556 plate appearances. He has a $25 million mutual option with the Cubs but will likely opt out and hit the free-agent market this winter.
Eduard Bazardo

SEA Relief Pitcher #67

Mariners optioned RHP Eduard Bazardo to ACL Mariners.

The 28-year-old posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 15/4 K/BB ratio across 16 innings with the Orioles and Mariners this season. Bazardo will likely remain in the bullpen mix for the Mariners next season but isn’t relevant in fantasy baseball at this time.
Prelander Berroa

SEA Starting Pitcher #52

Mariners recalled RHP Prelander Berroa from Double-A Arkansas.

The fireball rookie returns to the majors for the season’s final game on Sunday. Berroa has spent most of the season with Double-A Arkansas and posted a 2.89 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 101/39 K/BB ratio across 65 1/3 innings. He will likely get an inning or two on Sunday and should be considered a middle-relief option for the Mariners going forward.
