Pitcher Joe Musgrove was kept on the roster as the San Diego Padres made no changes from their wild-card sweep over the Chicago Cubs. Recovered from Tommy John surgery, the right-handed Musgrove pitched for the first time since 2024 when he worked a scoreless ninth inning in Game 1.
San Diego did put Walker Buehler on the postseason paternity list for one to three days and replaced him during that period with fellow right-hander Randy Vásquez.
Left-hander Kyle Harrison's late-season slide didn't keep him off the Brewers' roster. Harrison was one of the Brewers' top starting pitchers for much of the season and had a 2.79 ERA in late August before allowing 24 runs (21 earned) over nine innings in a stretch of four appearances from Aug. 31 to Sept. 17. He struck out four over two innings in a Sept. 26 relief appearance that showed he might thrive in a bullpen role and finished 11-5 with a 4.20 ERA.
Milwaukee included 13 pitchers, one more than during the 2025 postseason. Right-hander Dustin May made the roster despite a 5.65 ERA in 10 starts after the Brewers acquired him from the St. Louis Cardinals ahead of the trade deadline. Infielder Joey Ortiz was included after missing the final two regular-season games with knee and abdominal issues. Catcher Bo Naylor, utility man Brandon Lockridge and pitcher Grant Anderson were omitted.
