Two spots remain in the 2026 postseason field. While 10 teams have already locked up a postseason bid, there are still some major battles taking place. The Astros and Rangers are fighting for the American League West, while the Phillies and D-backs are competing for the final National League Wild

A week ago, it sure felt as if the Diamondbacks' postseason hopes were slipping away from them. But ever since a series-opening loss to the Yankees last Friday, Arizona has been red hot. Before Saturday’s 10-7 loss to the Padres, the D-backs rattled off six straight wins to stay afloat,

The 2026 postseason picture is nearly set as we enter the final day of the regular season. The Guardians clinched the AL Central with a win on Saturday, pushing the White Sox to the final AL Wild Card spot. In the National League, the D-backs and Phillies continue their battle

DETROIT -- Years from now, when folks mention Vintage Verlander, this is what they’ll mean. For days, the Tigers had joked about sending Justin Verlander out like Billy Chapel. Never mind that the latter is a fictional character, an aging, once-great Tigers pitcher portrayed by Kevin Costner in the 1999

KANSAS CITY -- There were points this summer when it felt like the walls could begin to close in on the Guardians. Cleveland entered a midseason swoon before the All-Star break, for one, when it was trying to tread water without José Ramírez after he underwent left hamate surgery.

SAN DIEGO -- For a second straight postseason, the Padres and Cubs will meet in the National League Wild Card Series. This time, it’ll be at Petco Park.

WEST SACRAMENTO -- One of the most bizarre division races in recent memory will come down to Game 162, because that’s exactly the way things were meant to play out in the American League West in 2026. In a division that no team seemed it wanted to win, the Astros

PHILADELPHIA -- One way or another, it ends on Sunday. The Phillies will either clinch an NL Wild Card and a fifth consecutive trip to the postseason following the 162nd game of the regular season, or they will suffer the second-worst collapse in franchise history, miss the playoffs entirely and

SAN DIEGO -- The Diamondbacks’ postseason fate will come down to Game No. 162. A 10-7 loss to the Padres on Saturday night at Petco Park snapped the Diamondbacks’ six-game winning streak and put their season squarely on the brink. The good news for Arizona is the Phillies' collapse continued

MINNEAPOLIS -- In the span of two weeks, the most important weeks of the season, the Rangers lost their two most productive hitters -- Joc Pederson and Josh Jung -- to a fractured left hand and right wrist, respectively. Manager Skip Schumaker has said repeatedly over the last month that

CHICAGO -- There was one word to describe the overall White Sox sentiment following a 9-6 loss to the Rockies Saturday night at Rate Field. “Excited,” said second baseman Sam Antonacci without hesitation.

DETROIT -- Justin Verlander overcame the rust of six months since his last Major League appearance, the tightness of a hamstring strain that never quite went away, and the simple truth of Father Time and 43-year-old pitchers to deliver one last afternoon of Vintage Verlander. But after 5 1/3 innings

PHILADELPHIA -- Junior Caminero has put up a lot of big, impressive numbers as the best player on the American League’s best team. There are three that mean a lot to him: 40, 100 and 162.

SAN FRANCISCO -- When Blake Snell took the mound for the final time in the regular season on Saturday afternoon, he eased any lingering concerns the Dodgers may have had after the southpaw exited his previous start with left groin tightness.

TORONTO -- Max Scherzer still rocks back and forth and bounces when he talks about baseball. The topic alone electrifies him. Scherzer said Saturday at Rogers Centre that he’s not going to make any decisions yet on his future, but it’s so clear that this game gives him something irreplaceable.

MILWAUKEE – Dustin May’s final outing of the regular season spanned only three innings of Saturday’s 3-2 win over the Cardinals at sold-out American Family Field, but it was enough to give the Brewers’ decision-makers plenty to chew on as they begin to build a postseason pitching plan.

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres made a series of roster moves with major implications for their postseason roster ahead of Saturday’s game against the Diamondbacks: • RHP Casey Mize landed on the 15-day IL with a right ankle sprain • INF/OF/DH Gavin Sheets was reinstated from the IL after missing

TORONTO -- The sun is setting on two of this era’s greatest pitchers. Justin Verlander threw the final pitch of his remarkable career on Saturday afternoon in Detroit, and while Max Scherzer isn’t ready to make a decision just yet, he’ll take the mound Sunday in Toronto knowing it could

If 2026 is “the year of the lefty batter,” given that lefties are taking a higher share of plate appearances and with more success doing so than at nearly any other time in recent Major League history, then the Red Sox may have a pretty effective countermeasure headed into the

MIAMI -- The Braves can’t change the fact that injuries have depleted their rotation to a razor-thin level. But they can confidently hope their bullpen will be capable of carrying the load during the postseason. “The way you get outs from the mound is very different during the postseason, unless

MILWAUKEE – When Christian Yelich learned that the Brewers intended to take the unprecedented step of stitching a “C” on his jersey while naming him team captain, he had only one condition. “He had one request that we ask Robin Yount before we do such a thing, and Robin agreed

SAN FRANCISCO -- Righty reliever Blake Treinen injured his shoulder while warming up in the bullpen during the Dodgers' 4-3 win over the Giants on Saturday afternoon at Oracle Park. Manager Dave Roberts said Treinen's season is over, and he will undergo imaging on his shoulder to determine the extent
