SP TOR
Bieber will start Wednesday's Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against the Mariners, Nick Camino of WKYC Channel 3 Cleveland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bieber was unable to provide the Blue Jays with much stability during his last outing in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Yankees, surrendering three runs (two earned) over 2.2 innings of work. Toronto desperately needs Bieber to come through with a quality appearance in Seattle after dropping the first two games of the ALCS at home, though he'll likely be on a short leash considering the club can't afford to go down 3-0 in the series.
Roki Sasaki P LAD Mon 10/13/25 11:44 PM
Roki Sasaki
P LAD
Sasaki was unable to convert the save in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Brewers on Monday and was removed after allowing one run on one hit and two walks in two-thirds of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
This shaky outing comes less than a week after skipper Dave Roberts praised Sasaki for his performance during his first few appearances of the NLDS against the Phillies, noting that the right-hander was the team's primary option at closer. That could change after Monday's showing, especially after Blake Treinen was able to come up big by cleaning up Sasaki's mess in the bottom of the ninth inning. However, it would be difficult to imagine that Sasaki wouldn't still be in the mix for high-leverage innings considering his elite stuff along with the state of LA's unreliable bullpen.
Blake Treinen RP LAD Mon 10/13/25 11:32 PM
Blake Treinen
RP LAD
Treinen picked up the save after issuing one walk and striking out one in one-third of an inning during Monday's 2-1 win over the Brewers in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.
EDGE Analysis
Treinen was called upon in a sticky situation after Roki Sasaki failed to shut down Milwaukee in the bottom of the ninth, taking the mound with runners on first and third and two outs in a one-run game. The veteran reliever responded by walking William Contreras, then retiring Brice Turang via the strikeout with the bases loaded to secure the Game 1 victory. Treinen has had his struggles down the stretch of the regular season and into the postseason, melting down to allow two runs on three hits while failing to retire a batter in Game 3 of the NLDS against Philly, but he's shown flashes of reliability and could be deployed in a future NLCS save opportunity now that Sasaki's confidence has likely taken a hit.
Freddie Freeman 1B LAD Mon 10/13/25 11:24 PM
Freddie Freeman
1B LAD
Freeman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 2-1 win in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman got the Dodgers on the scoreboard by hitting a roof scraper of a solo home run during the top of the sixth inning off Chad Patrick. Freeman nearly hit his second long ball of the game in the top of the eighth, doubling off the wall in right field before ultimately being stranded. Freeman looked strong in plate appearances against righties Patrick and Trevor Megill on Monday and will draw another matchup against a right hander in Game 2 on Tuesday with Freddy Peralta scheduled to toe the rubber for Milwaukee.
Quinn Priester SP MIL Mon 10/13/25 11:21 PM
Quinn Priester
SP MIL
Priester allowed three hits and three walks while striking out one over four scoreless innings Monday in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Priester followed Milwaukee's opener, Aaron Ashby, who tossed a scoreless first inning before stepping aside. The 25-year-old right-hander bounced back from a tough outing in Game 3 of the NLDS against Chicago, delivering four scoreless frames despite navigating around some traffic on the bases. Priester was assisted by an incredible 8-6-2 double play in the top of the fourth inning, helping him out of a bases-loaded jam. He also managed to induce a key double play to end the fifth, exiting his appearance in a scoreless game.
Blake Snell SP LAD Mon 10/13/25 11:17 PM
Blake Snell
SP LAD
Snell picked up the win after allowing one hit while striking out 10 over eight scoreless innings during Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Brewers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Snell relied heavily on his offspeed stuff throughout Monday's dominant outing and pounded the strike zone, firing 69 of 103 pitches for strikes. He faced the minimum through eight innings, with his only blemish occurring in the bottom of the third on a leadoff single by Caleb Durbin, who was later wiped away after Snell picked him off. Snell has been fantastic through three postseason appearances, posting a 3-0 record with 28 strikeouts and two runs surrendered over 21.0 innings.
Trey Yesavage P TOR Mon 10/13/25 9:03 PM
Trey Yesavage
P TOR
Yesavage took the loss after allowing five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings during Monday night's Game 2 of the American League Championship Series against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
It's worth noting that two of the runs Yesavage was charged with came around to score after he'd been pulled from the matchup, but even with that in mind, he didn't have a sharp night on the bump. The rookie right-hander surrendered a three-run shot to Julio Rodriguez in the top of the first inning to immediately spot the opposition a three-run lead. Yesavage was removed in the top of the fifth after giving up an infield single and issuing an intentional walk, which was followed by a three-run home run by Jorge Polanco. Monday's showing certainly wasn't on the same level as Yesavage's dominant 11-strikeout showing during Game 2 of the ALDS, but he could get an opportunity to redeem himself later in the series if Toronto is able to steal a game or two in Seattle.
Logan Gilbert SP SEA Mon 10/13/25 8:59 PM
Logan Gilbert
SP SEA
Gilbert didn't factor into the decision during Monday's 10-3 win in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series against the Blue Jays. He allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out two across three innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert dealt with plenty of traffic on the bases in the bottom of the first inning, giving two runs back after his offense spotted him a three-run lead in the top half of the frame. The right-hander would surrender another run in the bottom of the second on an RBI single by Nathan Lukes. Gilbert hurled 58 pitches before his removal, likely indicating that he'll be available either out of the bullpen or for another start later in the series if needed.
Jorge Polanco 2B/DH SEA Mon 10/13/25 8:56 PM
Jorge Polanco
2B/DH SEA
Polanco went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 10-3 victory over the Blue Jays in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.
EDGE Analysis
Polanco proved yet again to be a clutch hitter for the Mariners this postseason, launching a three-run homer in the top of the fifth inning to put his club ahead 6-3. This marks his third long ball of the playoffs, with his previous two coming against Detroit ace Tarik Skubal in Game 2 of the ALDS.
Isaac Collins 2B/LF/RF MIL Mon 10/13/25 5:26 PM
Isaac Collins
2B/LF/RF MIL
Collins is starting in left field and batting eighth in Monday's Game 1 of the NLCS versus the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Collins entered two games off the bench during the NLDS against the Cubs, but this will be his first start of the postseason. To make room for Collins in left field, Jackson Chourio is sliding over to right field and Sal Frelick is playing center field.
