Story summary

Ahead of Game 1 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) against the Brewers on Sunday, the Dodgers announced their 26-man roster. They added pitcher Justin Wrobleski to the team while dropping speedster Hyeseong Kim from it. Veteran infielder Miguel Rojas was included despite a recent back injury, confirming his availability for the series. The roster features an equal balance of 13 pitchers and 13 position players. Wrobleski, who had a strong All-Star season with a 3.66 ERA but struggled late in the regular season, will likely serve as long relief and provide another left-handed option out of the bullpen. Kim’s removal was unsurprising since he primarily played as a defensive specialist during the NLDS after spending most of the season in triple-A.

🔮 Veteran infielder Miguel Rojas was also included in the group, confirming he will be available for the series despite battling a back injury in recent days.
🔮 That’s why the team could help but notice the recent “dinosaur” comment made by new Padres owner José E. Feliciano –– even if he was trying to refer to the actual collection of fossils kept by Dodgers owner Mark Walter.
🔮 “We’ve just got to be certain that if we do have him on [the roster], he can stay healthy,” Roberts said, wary of the possibility of having to remove Rojas from the roster mid-series because of his injury, which would leave him ineligible for a potential World Series under MLB’s playoff roster rules.
🔮 For a second straight series, Tarik Skubal will once again be the team’s Game 1 starter against the Brewers on Sunday, manager Dave Roberts announced during a Friday video conference with reporters, setting up the reigning two-time Cy Young Award winner to square off with this year’s presumptive Cy Young winner in Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski.
🔮 While Game 1 of the team’s NLCS rematch against the Brewers will kick off at 5 p.m. Pacific time on Sunday night from American Family Field in Milwaukee, Game 2 on Monday will begin at 2 p.m. local time in Los Angeles –– similar to the late-afternoon weekday starts the Dodgers had in Games 3 and 4 of their NL Division Series defeat of the Atlanta Braves this week.
🔮 But when one potential change might have to do with Shohei Ohtani — the Dodgers’ biggest star and most troublesome question mark so far this postseason — then an exception on Wednesday night was warranted.
🔮 Alas, Friedman’s wish wouldn’t be granted.
🔮 Now, the Dodgers will await either the Milwaukee Brewers or San Diego Padres in the NLCS.
🔮 ATLANTA –– The Dodgers will be playing a man short for Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Wednesday.
🔮 Andy Pages, meanwhile, was dropped into the nine-hole, where he will look to build off a two-hit performance in Game 3 that snapped his previous 0-for-8 slump to start the series.
