Dodgers Reshuffle World Series Roster Amid Key Injuries

Los Angeles Dodgers add Alex Vesia and Brusdar Graterol, while Evan Phillips is sidelined with a 'dead arm' for the World Series against the Yankees.

  • Left-hander Alex Vesia and right-hander Brusdar Graterol return to the Dodgers' bullpen after missing previous postseason games due to injuries.
  • Evan Phillips, a crucial reliever, is left off the roster due to an arm injury sustained during the NLCS against the Mets.
  • Shortstop Miguel Rojas rejoins the team despite a season-long groin injury, replacing outfielder Kevin Kiermaier.
  • Vesia had a strong regular season with a 1.76 ERA, providing the Dodgers with a much-needed left-handed option in the bullpen.
  • The Dodgers' starting rotation has been limited to three pitchers, increasing the bullpen's importance in the World Series matchup against the Yankees.
