In a surprising move, the Los Angeles Dodgers have excluded pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Joe Kelly from their roster for the NL Division Series against the San Diego Padres. Kershaw, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, has been struggling with injuries, while Kelly has recently returned from shoulder issues.

Meanwhile, the Padres made roster adjustments by adding right-handers Martín Pérez and Alek Jacob, while the New York Yankees dropped several key players, including pitcher Marcus Stroman, for their series against Kansas City.

The Arizona Diamondbacks faced a heartbreaking end to their postseason hopes as they were eliminated after the Atlanta Braves secured a 3-0 victory over the New York Mets. Arizona needed the Mets to win both games in a doubleheader to keep their playoff chances alive, but the Mets only managed to win the first game 8-7.

With both teams already clinching their postseason spots, the Mets struggled offensively in the second game, failing to score. The Braves capitalized on a couple of key plays to secure their win, leaving the Diamondbacks with a strong but ultimately insufficient 89-73 record for the season.

The New York Mets concluded the regular season with a 3-0 defeat against the Atlanta Braves, despite a solid pitching performance from Joey Lucchesi, who threw six innings and allowed just one run. The Mets' offense struggled, managing only two hits and a walk.

With the loss, the Mets finished the season at 89-72 and will face the Milwaukee Brewers in the Wild Card round. Pete Alonso made history by playing in every game of the season, while Marcell Ozuna was pivotal for the Braves in Game 2.

The New York Mets faced a challenging defeat against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field, losing 12-2 despite an early lead. A turning point came in the fourth inning when left-hander David Peterson struggled and was replaced by Adam Ottavino, who also faltered, allowing the Phillies to score four runs in the inning.

The Mets' pitching woes continued as the Phillies capitalized, with Trea Turner and Bryce Harper key in their offensive onslaught. The defeat snapped the Mets' four-game winning streak but did not significantly impact the NL Wild Card race.

Chris Bassitt delivered a solid performance over six innings, and Davis Schneider's two-run triple contributed to the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-2 victory against the New York Mets.

This win was crucial for the Blue Jays as they seek to end a three-series losing streak, while the Mets are now tied for the final wild-card spot in the National League after their second loss in 12 games.

Toronto capitalized on a four-run third inning, highlighted by Schneider's critical hit.
