Josue De Paula, Hyeseong Kim Make Dodgers’ Roster for NLDS
Josue De Paula made the 26-man roster after hitting 10-for-31 with 11 walks in 11 games, while Hyeseong Kim was kept as a pinch runner.
- The Los Angeles Dodgers finalized their 26-man National League Division Series roster, adding prized outfield prospect Josue De Paula and infielder Hyeseong Kim for their matchup against the Atlanta Braves.
- De Paula impressed management after being called up in September when Shohei Ohtani went on the injured list, going 10-for-31 with 11 walks and five strikeouts across 11 games. His plate discipline and career-high 27 home runs with Double-A Tulsa earned him the postseason spot.
- The roster includes 14 position players and 12 pitchers, with reserve outfielder Alex Call left off to make room for Kim after hitting.233 in 88 games. Catcher Dalton Rushing was excluded; his right UCL injury limited him to eight at-bats over the final two months.
- Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said De Paula will be a "bullet off the bench in big situations," while manager Dave Roberts praised his "unflappable" demeanor as translating into postseason success.
- The Dodgers host Games 1 and 2 at Dodger Stadium after a five-day layoff while the Braves arrived with one day of rest. Temperatures reached 100 degrees on Saturday, with Braves reliever Brent Suter warning hydration will challenge both teams.
