Dodgers News: Dodgers 26-Man NLDS Roster Announced

PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Los Angeles Dodgers officially announced their 26-man roster for the 2025 National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. 

Much of the roster is the same from the most recent Wild Card Series earlier this week, with a few minor exceptions.

The first major addition was the inclusion of veteran left-hander Clayton Kershaw, who will change roles from a starter to a reliever in the Dodgers’ bullpen.

The Dodgers are running it back with three catchers again, in the wake of Will Smith’s hand injury in September. However, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said it was possible that Smith could play catcher during this series, but would not confirm if that would be today in Game One.

Also rejoining the Dodgers bullpen is lefty Anthony Banda, who was surprisingly left off the team’s Wild Card Series roster earlier this week despite posting a sub-two ERA in the second half of the regular season.

Off the roster is right-handed pitcher Edgardo Henriquez and lefty Justin Wrobleski.

Catchers (3): Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Ben Rortvedt

Infielders (3): Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Max Muncy
