September MLB Storylines: Playoff Races and MVP Contenders

As September unfolds, MLB teams face critical playoff races, while players like Yordan Alvarez and Pete Crow-Armstrong vie for MVP honors amid injury concerns and managerial changes.

September marks the final month of the 2026 MLB regular season, with critical playoff and awards races heating up. Teams and players are under pressure as they approach the postseason.

The MVP race is particularly competitive, featuring Cubs player Pete Crow-Armstrong and Shohei Ohtani, who is aiming for a historic fifth MVP award. Ohtani's recent injuries have sidelined him since July, impacting his performance and the MVP race.

In addition to the MVP discussions, Yordan Alvarez of the Astros is in contention for the Triple Crown, leading in key categories despite a dip in performance in August. The Dodgers are struggling offensively, and the playoff picture remains uncertain, with the possibility of teams with losing records making the postseason. Managerial changes loom as the season concludes, and ongoing negotiations regarding the collective bargaining agreement may lead to a lockout as the deadline approaches.
