Named wild-card starter Wainwright will start the NL Wild Card Game on Wednesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wainwright made his final start of the regular season Tuesday, and he'll have additional rest ahead of his postseason start. The right-hander posted a 5.06 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 16 innings across his last three starts, but he'll attempt to bounce back against the team's NL West opponent in the pivotal wild-card matchup.

Earns 17th win Wainwright (17-7) allowed two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four across six innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Brewers.

Impact Wainwright limited the Brewers effectively by inducing 11 groundouts. He generated only four swinging strikes on 102 pitches, but the only damage he surrendered came on a two-run home run by Luis Urias. Wainwright has maintained his success into September having now allowed 14 earned runs across 36.2 frames. However, in that same span, he has only 21 strikeouts as compared to 10 walks. Wainwright could draw a final start to close the regular season, and he'll carry a 3.05 ERA and 174:50 K:BB across 206.1 frames into that outing.

Impact It was the second shortest outing of the season for Wainwright dating back to his first start April 3. The 40-year-old's biggest nemesis of the game proved to be Tyrone Taylor, who hit a grand slam in the first inning and a solo homer in the fourth, accounting for all the damage charged to Wainwright. Fortunately, his offense came through with the win. The right-hander has compiled a 3.05 ERA and 1.04 WHIP overall and lines up for a rematch with the Brewers at home next week.
