Or play with 24 players — and just one catcher — and pray that Yan Gomes could avoid injury.“We rolled the dice,” Martinez said. “We knew Kurt was probably a day or two from returning, and really didn’t want to burn him for the whole NLCS.

The Nationals made a last-minute roster tweak to account for that, placing Hudson on the postseason paternity list and activating Wander Suero for one game.
