The Los Angeles Dodgers roster for the 2025 National League Championship Series consists of 12 pitchers, 14 position players and Shohei Ohtani in his two-way role.
The Dodgers carried 14 position players and 11 pitches in the NL Division Series, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said they would add at least one pitcher to their NLCS roster due to the longer seven-game series.
The Dodgers elected to now include Ben Casparius while removing Dalton Rushing. Casparius closed out the regular season with Triple-A Oklahoma City as the Dodgers wanted him to improve mechanically and against right-handed batters.
Casparius was 7-5 with a 4.64 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 46 games (three starts) for the Dodgers this season. However, his last appearance with the club came Sept. 5.
Meanwhile, Rushing made just one pinch-hit appearance while active for the Wild Card round and NLDS.
Justin Wrobelski remains on the roster after he was a replacement for Tanner Scott in the NLDS due to injury. Scott was ineligible for the Dodgers’ NLCS roster because he was removed in the last round, but he would be available for a potential World Series roster.
Will Klein became eligible for the first time this postseason after he was optioned just before the end of the regular season, but ultimately did not factor into the Dodgers’ plans.
