US EditionDodgers Left-Hander Clayton Kershaw Will Not Be on Wild Card Series Roster
Dodgers face key decisions on pitching depth and player health for their wild-card roster as they prepare for a best-of-three postseason series, Dodgers manager said.
- After a 5-3 victory Saturday at T-Mobile Park, the Dodgers still face roster uncertainties ahead of the wild-card series, with decisions on pitchers and veterans pending.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says pitching depth is the main puzzle, with bullpen uncertainty the biggest roster concern before the best-of-three Wild Card Series.
- Veterans Blake Treinen and Alex Vesia appear locked into bullpen roles, Roberts signaled Tanner Scott and rookie Roki Sasaki are likely on the playoff roster, and Ben Casparius remains a postseason candidate.
- On Sunday, Clayton Kershaw will make his final regular-season start but will be left off the Dodgers' Wild Card Series roster, though he could be recalled if the team advances.
- With two-way dynamics and bullpen balance, roster math will be critical as the Dodgers consider carrying 13 pitchers, which could squeeze bench players like Alex Call and Hyeseong Kim.
