What happened: Play was halted for an injury delay involving Mickey Moniak in the bottom of the ninth. The advisory came with the score at 7-8, leaving the finish unresolved in the final frame.
Why it matters: The stoppage matters late in the season because Moniak had already been part of a recent defensive shuffle, with Moniak moving to DH while Troy Johnston took right field on Sept. 13. It also arrived in the game's highest-leverage window, with one run separating the sides in the ninth.
By the numbers: The delay hit in the bottom of the ninth with a 7-8 score, putting the advisory in a one-run finish.
What to watch: Watch for any postgame update on Moniak's status and whether his role changes again in the next lineup.
