The Los Angeles Dodgers are back in the National League Championship Series for the second consecutive year, and their seventh time in the last 10 years.
This year, the Dodgers will face the Milwaukee Brewers, and the series gets started on Monday night at American Family Field.
On Monday morning, Los Angeles released its NLCS roster, and there was just one slight change from the NLDS roster.
Dodgers release NLCS roster
Who made the Dodgers' NLCS roster?
Pitchers:
- Anthony Banda
- Ben Casparius
- Jack Dreyer
- Tyler Glasnow
- Clayton Kershaw
- Roki Sasaki
- Emmet Sheehan
- Blake Snell
- Blake Treinen
- Alex Vesia
- Justin Wrobleski
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto
The Dodgers pitchers for the NLCS remain mostly the same, except for the addition of Casparius.
Casparius pitched both out of the bullpen and as a starter in the regular season and can give Los Angeles length, if needed.
Baseball fans will be happy to see Kershaw's name on the roster. It would have been surprising for the Dodgers to leave the future Hall of Famer off the list, but he did struggle in the NLDS.

The Dodgers lone change for the position players is leaving catcher Dalton Rushing off of the NLCS roster. Casparius is the one who replaced Rushing.
The Dodgers have announced Blake Snell will start Game 1 of the NLCS against the Brewers.
However, Los Angeles is still waiting on the Brewers to announce their starting pitcher for Game 1.
The 2025 NLCS will be a rematch of the 2018 NLCS when the Dodgers beat the Brewers in seven games.
The Brewers swept the Dodgers in their regular season series this year, 6-0. However, everything changes in the postseason.
The NLCS gets started on Monday night in Milwaukee at American Family Field.
