Dodgers top prospect De Paula, reliever Henriquez make NL Division Series roster

Ahead of their opening playoff matchup on Saturday afternoon, the Los Angeles franchise finalized their twenty-six player roster, highlighted by the inclusion of their premier hitting prospect and a returning relief pitcher. The organization decided to travel with fourteen position players and twelve pitchers, securing an extra spot on the bench for a rapid baserunner and defensive replacement.

The top prospect secured his place as a primary left-handed option off the bench following a strong stint filling in as the designated hitter during the final month of the regular season. Meanwhile, the relief arm successfully returned to the active squad for postseason play after missing the latter half of September due to a back strain.
