LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers left off infielder Amed Rosario and reliever Ryan Yarbrough from their roster for the NL Division Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks ahead of Game 1 on Saturday.
The NL West champions who won 100 games will carry 13 pitchers and 13 position players for the best-of-five series.
Four rookie pitchers made the roster, including Bobby Miller, who will start Game 2 on Monday. He’s joined by Michael Grove, Ryan Pepiot and Emmet Sheehan.
Rosario was acquired by the Dodgers at the Aug. 1 trade deadline from Cleveland after the team unloaded struggling pitcher Noah Syndergaard to get him. He was brought in to bolster the team’s hitting against left-handed pitchers.
Instead of the right-handed Rosario, the Dodgers chose veteran infielder Kolten Wong, who joined the team on Sept. 1. The left-hander batted .300 in 34 plate appearances.
Yarbrough made his first start for the Dodgers last month, allowing two runs in four innings. He was acquired from Kansas City at the trade deadline and the left-hander had a 1.86 ERA in six games in August.
With Corbin Carroll as Arizona’s main left-handed hitting threat, the Dodgers opted to only carry three lefties for the NLDS — starter Clayton Kershaw and relievers Caleb Ferguson and Alex Vesia.
The D-backs’ roster features five rookies: outfielder Carroll, infielder Jordan Lawler, right-hander Ryne Nelson, left-hander Andrew Saalfrank and right-hander Brandon Pfaadt.
Rookie righty Bryce Jarvis was replaced by lefty Kyle Nelson. Utility player Jace Peterson was added.
Outfielder Jake McCarthy remained off the roster after hurting an oblique in warmups for Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against Milwaukee.
