Roberts said multiple times that Ohtani hitting fifth is specifically an approach to Chris Sale. The lineup will look different vs. RHP Tyler Mahle in Game 4.

The Los Angeles Dodgers mourn the passing at age 91 of Fred Claire, whose three decades with the franchise reached their pinnacle as the general manager of the 1988 World Series Champions. We send our deepest condolences to his wife Sheryl and children Jeff, Jennifer and Kim.

Dave Roberts said he would be open to moving Shohei Ohtani lower than second in the lineup. He is also considering making some changes with Chris Sale on the mound tomorrow, but removing Andy Pages (0-for-7 in NLDS) won't be one of them as of now.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto said (via interpreter) that he is willing to pitch on shorter rest and/or in relief if the Dodgers need him to this postseason.
YOSHINOBU YAMAMOTO: Yes, because I'm going to get myself ready for any situation. If they want me to go out, then I go out. But for me, just those are key things for me. Postseason is just focusing on the game right in front of me.

Ray Kerr threw 47 pitches on Thursday. If he can go just one inning, Grant Holmes or JR Ritchie are bulk options. Didier Fuentes may be needed for multiple innings. Iglesias, Lee and Suarez are all well rested

Josue De Paula and Hyeseong Kim made the NLDS roster, Dave Roberts said. Edgardo Henriquez, who ended the season on the IL, is active, as had been the hope. Dodgers will have five righties and three lefties in the bullpen. Jack Dreyer and Justin Wrobleski did not make the roster.

Shohei Ohtani feels "really good overall" and that his swing is "in a better place" after the bye week, he said via interpreter. But he also acknowledged that the lingering biceps/knee issues are "something I'm just going to have to manage."
