CHICAGO — Freddy Fermin is catching Nick Pivetta for the first time this season … in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series. pic.twitter.com/zeAGNHZHGv — San Diego Padres (@Padres) September 30, 2025Fermin was acquired at the deadline to be the primary catcher, but catches can’t catch every day, so Díaz had remained as Pivetta’s personal caddy. “I don’t think it’s a huge challenge,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said of getting Fermin ready to catch Pivetta. Freddy understands the lineup, and I think they’ll work really well together.”In fact, Díaz had caught all but out recorded this year by Pivetta. pic.twitter.com/T3XCzw7omd — Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) September 30, 2025Reliever of the monthRight-hander Mason Miller was named the NL reliever of the month for September.
