There are just 11 days left in the 2026 Major League Baseball regular season.

Despite the short time period, only two teams have secured spots in the postseason: Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers.

That means at least one former Mississippi State player will be in the postseason.

Brandon Woodruff and the Brewers not only have a spot in the postseason, they have the NL Central division title clinched and No. 1 overall seed clinched, too.

If the season ended today, only one other former Bulldog would be in the postseason. Nathaniel Lowe and the Red Sox have a 2.5 game lead for the final AL wild card spot.

Here’s an update on each of the former Mississippi State players’ seasons and how far back their team is from a wild card spot.
