MILWAUKEE\u00a0\u2014\u00a0The Dodgers<\/a> added left-handed reliever Justin Wrobleski<\/a> to the National League Championship Series roster on Sunday, bolstering their bullpen with a pitcher who can cover multiple innings, as they take on the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>, the best team in the regular season.<\/p>\n

In the Dodgers\u2019 first best-of-seven series of the postseason, they will carry 13 pitchers and 13 position players \u2014 one more pitcher and one fewer position player than the previous round.<\/p>\n

To even the balance, they left pinch-runner\/defensive replacement Hyeseong Kim off the NLCS roster. Kim appeared in just one game in the NLDS, on defense in the ninth inning of Game 4.<\/p>\n

Wrobleski was an All-Star for his first-half performance (2.69 ERA). But an up and down second half included a short stint in the injured list, as the team kept an eye on his workload, and a move to the bullpen. He finished the season strong, allowing just one run in his last eight appearances (8 \u2154 innings).<\/p>\n

\u201cLength, having a guy that can go two or three, is something where you essentially protect downside on the pitching,\u201d manager Dave Roberts said Saturday when asked what traits the Dodgers would prioritize when considering which pitcher to add. \u201cAs far as handedness, they\u2019re pretty balanced, so that really doesn\u2019t come into play. For us, it\u2019s more of who can take down a couple innings.\u201d<\/p>\n
