The Braves are sticking with what works as they head into the NLCS showdown with the Dodgers. They’ll stick with the same 28-man roster that they took into the NLDS. Here’s a refresher:
Right-Handed Pitchers
- Ian Anderson (Game 2 starter)
- Shane Greene
- Chris Martin
- Mark Melancon
- Darren O’Day
- Josh Tomlin
- Jacob Webb
- Bryse Wilson
- Kyle Wright (Game 3 starter)
- Huascar Ynoa
Left-Handed Pitchers
- Grant Dayton
- Max Fried (Game 1 starter)
- Tyler Matzek
- A.J. Minter
- Will Smith
Catchers
Infielders
Outfielders
The Braves will ride again with a 15-man pitching staff. They may very well need every arm if this 7-game, 7-day series goes the distance. In terms of their starters, they are sticking with the same guys for the first three games of the series, with Fried, Anderson, and Wright going on consecutive days, per the Athletic’s David O’Brien (via Twitter). They survived the first two rounds of the postseason without having to name a fourth starter, but that’s certain to change against the Dodgers. No word yet on who will start that game four, with Ynoa, Wilson, and Tomlin being the most capable of providing length.
