Dodgers, Nationals set NLDS rosters
The Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers announced their ALDS rosters Friday, hours ahead of their first-round action in the 2016 postseason.
Los Angeles Dodgers
As Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he would be, outfielder Yasiel Puig is on the roster, along with little-used Andre Ethier.
There are two surprises, though: The Dodgers excluded left-hander Alex Wood, instead opting to roll with three catchers, and outfielder Kike Hernandez didn't make the cut either.
