Continuing their bid for back-to-back World Series titles, the Los Angeles Dodgers have set their roster for the upcoming National League Championship Series showdown against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Other than one substitution, the Dodgers will have the same team in the dugout that carried them to a four-game defeat of the top-seeded Philadelphia Phillies in the NL Division Series.
The Dodgers have added right-handed pitcher Ben Casparius to the mix in place of third catcher Dalton Rushing, apparently signaling Will Smith should be able to handle a greater share of the duties behind the plate in the NLCS. Smith was limited over much of September and early in the playoffs by a fracture in his right hand.
The Dodgers will also have veteran left-hander Clayton Kershaw on the roster, despite his rocky outing in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Phillies when he gave up five runs (four earned) in two innings of work.
