"The Dodgers' postseason roster against the Brewers figures to change from the NL Division Series as manager Dave Roberts suggested the team is considering adding an extra pitcher. "I think now you're talking about a potential seven-game series versus a potential five-game series, so now obviously pitching becomes more paramount," Roberts said. "I don't know exactly how the roster is going to look, but I think the seven-game series, and then you layer on potential opponent, it's going to look a little bit different.""
"If the Dodgers do decide to carry an extra pitcher on their NLCS roster, Edgardo Henriquez would appear to be one of the leading candidates. He was included on the team's roster for the Wild Card round but got removed for the NLDS. The addition of a pitcher like Henriquez would likely come at the expense of a bench player such as Justin Dean, Hyeseong Kim or perhaps Dalton Rushing."
The Los Angeles Dodgers open the NLCS Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. The postseason roster may change from the NLDS with consideration to add an extra pitcher to prioritize pitching in a potential seven-game series. Edgardo Henriquez is a leading candidate to be added, likely replacing a bench player such as Justin Dean, Hyeseong Kim, or Dalton Rushing. Justin Dean has appeared in all six playoff games as a defensive replacement and pinch-runner. Hyeseong Kim scored the winning run in NLDS Game 4. With Will Smith back, the Dodgers could instead remove a backup catcher.
