Brewers Make History

Milwaukee broke its own record with a 98th victory Sunday night, surpassing the single-season franchise mark the club set just last year. The Brewers remain the class of the National League and continue to pad the best record in baseball as October approaches.

NL East and Playoff Clinchings

Atlanta returned to the top of the NL East, capturing its seventh division title in nine years under first-year manager Walt Weiss after missing the postseason a year ago. Boston, meanwhile, clinched a playoff berth, becoming just the fourth team in MLB history to reach the postseason after sitting 14-or-more games below .500.

Dodgers Rotation Shuffle

Los Angeles recalled Emmet Sheehan and placed Tarik Skubal on the bereavement list as the club reshuffles its rotation ahead of a pivotal series against the Padres, with the team hopeful Shohei Ohtani can return for the showdown.

Injury Woes Across the League

Toronto slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exited early with back tightness in the Blue Jays' win at Texas, a concerning development for a Toronto lineup already thin on thump. The Blue Jays also scratched Dylan Cease from his next start while awaiting MRI results on his shoulder. Cincinnati placed ace Chase Burns on the 15-day injured list with a groin strain, and the AL West-leading Rangers lost Cal Quantrill to a lat injury, also a 15-day IL stint.

Scare in Chicago and Bullpen Move

Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman was hospitalized after a foul ball struck him in the face while he was on deck during Sunday's game against the Reds, a frightening moment that overshadowed the action on the field. Philadelphia optioned Orion Kerkering to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following a rough September, signaling the Phillies' bullpen plans are shifting as the postseason nears.
