The Cubs edged the Padres 3-1 at Wrigley in a wild-card clincher, sparked by Dansby Swanson’s glove and a jubilant clubhouse embrace. Crow-Armstrong blossomed into a centerpiece as Happ, Suzuki and the rest fed off the energy, delivering a champagne-soaked celebration that ended Chicago’s postseason drought and set up a NLDS with Milwaukee.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. flipped a disappointing night into postseason momentum, sprinting home in under 10 seconds to lift the Yankees past the Red Sox and force a deciding game. He revealed a unique stress-relief routine—playing MLB The Show with Griffey and Rollins—that helps him reset after not starting. Boone confirmed Chisholm will be in the lineup again, underscoring his value as a speed-and-utility threat in tight October moments. Fantasy managers should monitor his baserunning upside and lineup role as New York pursues more playoff magic.

Chisholm’s blend of speed, defense, and multi-position capability keeps him in the fantasy spotlight, especially in must-win scenarios where stolen bases and runs can swing a series. The surrounding notes touch on a broader playoff landscape, where bullpen depth and pitching matchups—plus veteran arms like Chapman and other stars—shape value across lineups and rosters.
