Dodgers Set Playoff Rotation; Yasiel Puig To Make Roster 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Sep 28, 2016 11:04 am

The Los Angeles Dodgers have set their playoff rotation two days after clinching a fourth consecutive National League West title.

Dave Roberts says Clayton Kershaw, Rich Hill and Kenta Maeda will start the first three games of the NLDS, in that order.

In addition, the Dodgers have announced that Yasiel Puig will make the postseason roster.

"He's earned it," Roberts said of Puig, who has made it back from an early August demotion to the Minor Leagues.

After the first three games of the postseason, the Dodgers will either come back to Kershaw on short rest or add a fourth starter to the mix.
