Story summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced their 26-man roster ahead of their National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves, set for Saturday afternoon. Key players like starter Tarik Skubal and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani were included, alongside several fringe candidates such as rookie slugger Josue De Paula and speed specialist Hyeseong Kim. The team opted for a 14-player/12-pitcher split, with Justin Wrobleski, Jack Dreyer, Alex Call, and Dalton Rushing among those left off the roster due to depth considerations or injuries. Manager Dave Roberts expects this mix of talent to help them advance past the Braves and continue their pursuit of a third consecutive World Series title.
