LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers announced their roster for their National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres and it includes four rookies.
Pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Landon Knack and Edgardo Henriquez are included on the 13-man staff. Yamamoto will start Game 1 on Saturday. Rookie outfielder Andy Pages also made the team.
Not on the roster are veteran reliever Joe Kelly and injured pitcher Clayton Kershaw. Veteran outfielder Kevin Kiermaier, who was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays at the trade deadline, was also left off the NLDS roster. He dislocated a finger during the final series of the regular season.
The 22-year-old Henriquez made the roster despite making his big-league debut just 11 days ago and pitching a total of 3⅓ innings. He allowed one run on two hits while striking out five. The hard-throwing right-hander touched 104 mph with his fastball in the minor leagues and averaged 98.7 mph with the Dodgers.
Here are the full rosters for the Dodgers and Padres:
