The season ends in less than a month, and there are still plenty of questions to be answered.

What happens in the final weeks of September could impact your favorite team’s short- and long-term future.

Want to know how?

Here’s one looming question for each team in the NL West during the last stretch.

D-backs: Has the club found a closer?

D-backs manager Torey Lovullo hasn’t officially named Archie Bradley as the closer, but he sure uses him like one. After a rough start to the season, Bradley has turned his season around, and after the release of Greg Holland and some struggles by Yoshihisa Hirano, the right-hander has solidified the ninth inning. Yes, his saves can sometimes be an adventure, and it’s uncertain how the club will use Bradley next year, but he has value out of the bullpen. And right now, he’s most valuable closing games. It could be his job to lose moving forward.

Dodgers: Which late-inning reliever is going to step up down the stretch?

Here’s what we know: Kenley Jansen has struggled with bouts of inconsistency, and the club does not have a clear replacement for him on the roster. The Dodgers do have options. First, there’s Joe Kelly and Pedro Baez, although neither has much experience closing games. Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin could also fill the role in the short term. Kenta Maeda is also an option. In the best-case scenario, Jansen uses the final weeks of the regular season to get back on track and rolls into October on a high note.

Giants: Will Johnny Cueto return to form after coming off Tommy John surgery?

Cueto was on the verge of rejoining the Giants' rotation after completing his 13-month rehab from reconstructive elbow surgery, but he encountered a setback earlier this week after experiencing back stiffness during his bullpen session. The injury will delay Cueto's return to the big leagues, and the Giants are still hoping the 33-year-old veteran will be able to pitch again before the end of the season. Cueto has said he would like to log a few starts in September to affirm the health of his right arm and gain some peace of mind heading into the offseason. The Giants will have one fewer question mark in their 2020 rotation if Cueto is able to come back and pitch effectively down the stretch.

Padres: What happens at second base?

The rest of the Padres’ long-term infield is set, with Eric Hosmer at first base, Fernando Tatis Jr. at shortstop and Manny Machado at third. But Luis Urias, who is hitting .181 with a .575 OPS this season, is no longer the obvious choice at second base. The club remains optimistic that the 22-year-old Urias will hit in the long run, but if it wants to compete in 2020, it will need better production at second base. If Urias can piece together a strong finish, it would go a long way toward solidifying the Padres’ 2020 infield. It’s also worth noting that Ty France and Greg Garcia will be given a chance at the job next spring.

Rockies: Who’s in and who’s out in 2020?

The Rockies will spend the final few weeks of the season determining which players, especially those without much service time, fit into the plans for the future. That means players like infielder/outfielder Garrett Hampson, outfielders Yonathan Daza and Sam Hilliard and catcher Dom Nunez must show enough production to go from the roster fringes to part of the plan during the final month. There’s a group of young relievers who will also get a chance to show they belong on the big league club next season, or at least in the mix for a job.
