Story summary

Ahead of Game 1 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) against the Brewers on Sunday, the Dodgers announced their 26-man roster. They added pitcher Justin Wrobleski to the team while dropping speedster Hyeseong Kim from it. Veteran infielder Miguel Rojas was included despite a recent back injury, confirming his availability for the series. The roster features an equal balance of 13 pitchers and 13 position players. Wrobleski, who had a strong All-Star season with a 3.66 ERA but struggled late in the regular season, will likely serve as long relief and provide another left-handed option out of the bullpen. Kim’s removal was unsurprising since he primarily played as a defensive specialist during the NLDS after spending most of the season in triple-A.
