Despite finishing with the worst record in the National League West, the Colorado Rockies will retain Walt Weiss as their manager through next season, per Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal.

Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich confirmed the news later on in the night.

With six new teams in the mix along with a few familiar faces, the MLB postseason boasts plenty of intriguing storylines.

The Wild Card Game is now in its fourth year and has been a huge success, highlighted by last year's winners—the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals—meeting in the World Series. This season features another pair of exciting matchups.      

The Houston Astros live to fight another day. Behind a gem from Dallas Keuchel on three days' rest, the Astros blanked the New York Yankees, 3-0, to win the American League Wild Card Game.

Keuchel silenced the Yankees through six frames, and the bullpen followed with three hitless innings. While Masahiro Tanaka avoided major damage, home runs from Colby Rasmus and Carlos Gomez proved enough.

Think about what an obituary is.

It's the collaborative effort of a newspaper writer and a deceased's loved one to tell the abridged story of a person's life.

It has to be dignified. You have to paint a picture and do the person justice. But it's still Cliff Notes of elegies, meaning there's not a lot of room in obituaries for stuff like, "He loved every ingredient on Supreme pizzas but the olives."

As difficult a task as it is to finish an MLB season with a playoff spot, the wild-card format leaves all of those 162 games down to one crucial nine-inning stretch of baseball that decides teams' fates.

New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey did not attend Tuesday's mandatory workout as his club gears up for Friday's Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.  

It sure has been a rapid rise for Corey Seager, the rookie phenom of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 21-year-old shortstop isn't the only top MiLB prospect who arrived in the majors just last month and is already making his mark on the big league stage.

What follows is a look around the league at five September call-ups who have the potential to become future game-changers and are playing for teams that are currently in the postseason.

Dan Jennings' tenure as manager of the Miami Marlins lasted just four months, as the team will not bring back the first-year skipper in 2016.   

Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reported that Jennings would not return as manager.

Ichiro Suzuki's career will continue for at least one more season, as the Miami Marlins agreed to a new deal with the veteran outfielder Tuesday.

A lot of the talk surrounding Tuesday night’s American League Wild Card Game between the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros has been about Houston ace Dallas Keuchel, and for good reason.
