Unlike the last two years, the Dodgers didn’t coast into the postseason, instead playing meaningful games deep into September. Will it make a difference?
Facing a third straight postseason that will begin with a five-day bye week — and still reeling from the early eliminations that followed the first two the last couple of years — the Dodgers changed up some things ahead of their Saturday opener in the best-of-five National League Division Series.
” This week there’s also been a greater focus on getting a couple of key players healthy. First baseman Freddie Freeman and shortstop Rojas have been going through baseball activities, Gomes and Roberts said, and remain on track to start in Game 1 — even if they might not be 100%. Roberts noted that Rojas’ injury has bothered him for much of the year, doing little to prevent a .283 batting average, his best since 2020.
