The Los Angeles Dodgers announced their 26-man roster for the NLDS against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday.
The Dodgers were required by the new MLB rules to have an even 13 pitchers and 13 position players on the NLDS roster. On the pitchers side, the Dodgers went with right-handers Blake Treinen and Dustin May. Both players were on the injured list heading into the postseason but are healthy now.
Treinen hasn't pitched since Sept. 4, but apparently the Dodgers have seen enough over the last several days to feel confident he's healthy enough to pitch in the postseason. The additions of May and Treinen left Craig Kimbrel, Craig Ferguson and David Price off the roster . There's only one surprise on the position player side, rookie Miguel Vargas made the roster over veteran Hanser Alberto. Vargas has a dynamic upside, but Alberto has been one the cheerleader's of this team and calls himself"the NL Shohei Ohtani" after multiple relief appearances in blowouts this season.
Thankfully, players on the taxi squad will still be allowed to travel and be in the dugout with their team, so the Dodgers will still have the energy and spirit of Alberto with them in the locker room and dugout during games.This article tagged under:
