Los Angeles Dodgers face bullpen uncertainty heading into postseason
As the Los Angeles Dodgers prepare for the postseason, the team faces uncertainty regarding its bullpen management and closing roles. President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman noted that while the team possesses its deepest and best pitching staff in franchise history, the specific roles and pitching orders for October remain undecided.
Several candidates are being considered for high-leverage situations. Tanner Scott, who posted a 4.15 ERA in September, is a primary candidate, while Edwin Diaz has shown signs of recovery, recording five scoreless innings and nine strikeouts since returning from neck inflammation. Roki Sasaki also remains a factor in the relief rotation. Additionally, Edgardo Enriquez is viewed as a potential option for late-inning duties following his return from injury.
On the offensive side, prospect Hosue Depolla has impressed the organization after a strong September stint in the majors, where he hit .323 in 11 games, though his inclusion on the postseason roster remains subject to lineup decisions.
