Dodgers pared back to 13 pitchers on the 28-man roster for the wild card round against the Milwaukee Brewers. Alex Wood and Dylan Floro were left off.

This might be the last Dodgers season for Justin Turner, whose unlikely rise from fringe player to Dodgers icon made him a fan favorite. He wants a championship.

Wood began the season in the starting rotation but landed on the injured list with shoulder inflammation after his first start andfive weeks later. He wasn’t effective in the role, allowing eight runs in eight outings, which included a two-inning start as an opener. Floro is the most surprising omission. He allowed seven runs in 24 1/3 innings this season — and three of the runs came in one outing. He didn’t allow a baserunner in 2 1/3 innings over his final three appearances.

Even though the regular-season rule that had extra innings begin with a runner on second is not in force during the playoffs, Gore is on the roster strictly as a pinch-runner. The 29-year-old speedster has 77 career plate appearances in seven major league seasons. He has nine career playoff games on his résumé, but just two at-bats. He struck out both times. He has five steals and was caught once.Ruiz, one of six rookies on the roster, will serve as the team’s third catcher.
