The Dodgers have announced their 28-man roster for the World Series, making no changes to the team that defeated the Braves in a thrilling NLCS. The roster:
Right-Handed Pitchers
- Pedro Báez
- Walker Buehler (Game 3 starter)
- Dylan Floro
- Tony Gonsolin
- Brusdar Graterol
- Kenley Jansen
- Joe Kelly
- Dustin May
- Blake Treinen
Left-Handed Pitchers
- Victor Gonzalez
- Clayton Kershaw (Game 1 starter)
- Adam Kolarek
- Jake McGee
- Julio Urías
- Alex Wood

Even with the benefit of two off-days in the World Series schedule, the Dodgers have opted to stick with their mix of 15 pitchers and 13 position players. It isn’t a surprise given the lack of uncertainty in the rotation beyond Kershaw and Buehler, as the Dodgers have yet to name a starter for Wednesday’s Game 2. All three of Urias, May, and Gonsolin pitched in Game 7 against the Braves, so Los Angeles could use something of a bullpen-game approach to Game 2 and then use Thursday’s off-day to rest the pen in advance of Friday’s Game 3, and what they hope will be a quality start from Buehler.
