Summary

  • Justin Wrobleski joined the Dodgers’ NLCS roster Sunday, giving Los Angeles 13 pitchers and 13 position players for Game 1 against Milwaukee.
  • The move added a multi-inning left-handed relief option, while Miguel Rojas stayed on the roster and Hyeseong Kim was dropped from the previous round’s group.
  • Milwaukee enters the best-of-seven series as baseball’s top regular-season team at 103-59, including a 55-26 home record and an 18-6 mark in September.
  • Los Angeles opens at American Family Field after eliminating Atlanta, carrying recent postseason momentum into a rematch of last year’s NLCS against a Brewers club still seeking its first NL pennant.
