Commissioner Rob Manfred traveled south of the U.S. border to Culiacan on Thursday to build on a dialogue with Mexico’s top baseball officials and strengthen the relationship between Major League Baseball and the country’s leagues.

With three games remaining for each team, here is a look at where things stand and where they might go for each league’s three “Triple Crown” hitting and pitching categories.

After watching John Coppolella do most of the heavy lifting that encompassed the massive reconstruction process their organization has undergone over the past year, the Braves will reward him by naming him their general manager.

Brett Anderson pitched 7 2/3 innings and the Dodgers caught the Mets for home-field advantage in the National League Division Series with a 3-2 win over the Giants on Thursday at AT&T Park in the career farewell of San Francisco starter Tim Hudson.

Manny Machado went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBIs as the Orioles dealt a slight blow to the Blue Jays’ chances of securing home-field advantage throughout the postseason with a 6-4 victory on a rainy Thursday at Oriole Park.

With a pair of stolen bases in the bottom of the fourth inning of Thursday’s 6-4 win against the Blue Jays, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado joined an elite club, becoming just the second player in franchise history to post 30 home runs and 20 stolen bases in a season.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Thursday that after speaking with Madison Bumgarner, the two concluded the ace will not pitch Sunday’s season finale. With San Francisco out of postseason contention, Yusmeiro Petit is scheduled to replace the left-hander.

Catcher Robinson Chirinos was back in the Rangers’ lineup on Wednesday night in what could be the final test to see if he can be on the postseason roster.

Right-hander Chris Young returned to the Royals earlier this week after flying home to Dallas on Sunday to be with his family following the death of his father, Charles, who passed away on Saturday.

During a season in which his body betrayed him, Indians star outfielder Michael Brantley learned the power of his voice.

Twins left-hander Tommy Milone threw a light bullpen session without any issues on Thursday and said he’s ready and excited to take the mound Saturday.

Has left fielder Justin Upton played his final game with the Padres? Upton, who left Wednesday’s game against the Brewers with a neck strain, was sore and not in the lineup on Thursday.

Red Sox slugger David Ortiz will play sparingly, if at all, for the rest of the season. Thursday marked the third time in the past six games Ortiz didn’t start. And there have been multiple occasions when interim manager Torey Lovullo has lifted Ortiz midgame for a pinch-runner.
