Overview

• Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Clayton Kershaw will not be on the Wild Card roster and said he is expected to be available for the Division Series if the Dodgers advance.
• Blake Snell starts Game 1 on Tuesday against the Reds’ Hunter Greene at Dodger Stadium, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto set for Game 2 versus Zack Littell.
• Roberts said Shohei Ohtani is "probably" slated to pitch a potential winner-take-all Game 3 or to open the next round if he is not needed in the Wild Card Series.
• The Dodgers delayed Ohtani’s assignment to leverage the off day and manage his workload for deeper postseason use, according to Roberts.
• Emmet Sheehan, Tyler Glasnow, and Roki Sasaki are available out of the bullpen for the series, while Kershaw is viewed as a flexible option for starts or relief later in October.
