"The Los Angeles Dodgers roster for the 2025 National League Division Series consists of 11 pitchers, 14 position players and Shohei Ohtani in his two-way role. While the Dodgers roster for the NLDS features the same number of pitchers from the Wild Card round, Edgardo Henriquez and Justin Wrobleski are not part of the group. As manager Dave Roberts indicated would be the case, Anthony Banda and Clayton Kershaw were added onto the roster."
"That gives the Dodgers five left-handers in their bullpen to face a left-handed heavy Philadelphia Phillies lineup. The Dodgers also have an extra member of their bullpen to begin the series, lessening the need for another full-time relief pitcher. Tyler Glasnow is scheduled to start Game 4, but due to the extra off day and stretch where he has not pitched, the right-hander is available out of the bullpen Game 1 and potentially Game 2."
""If we don't feel comfortable using certain guys with an eight-run lead, then we've got to think through some things," Roberts said about Henriquez after Game 1 of the Wild Card Series. "But as you pitch guys, you start to learn more about guys. And that's kind of how it goes.""
The Dodgers set an NLDS roster of 11 pitchers, 14 position players and Shohei Ohtani in a two-way role. Edgardo Henriquez and Justin Wrobleski were omitted while Anthony Banda and Clayton Kershaw were added. The bullpen features five left-handers to counter a left-handed-heavy Phillies lineup and includes an extra reliever to reduce the need for another full-time arm. Tyler Glasnow is slated to start Game 4 but is available out of the bullpen early in the series due to the schedule. The Dodgers carry three catchers while Will Smith continues to manage a hairline fracture in his right hand.
