Conceivably, the next eight weeks may be an audition of sorts to determine which players the Dodgers carry on their first-round playoff roster.
Yesterday, we discussed the potential returns of Chris Taylor, Enrique Hernandez, David Freese and Jedd Gyorko from injury, but what we didn’t talk about was how the team would make room for everyone in the postseason.
Although the rules will change in 2020, after September 1 of this year, MLB rosters will expand to allow any player on the 40-man to join the team’s active roster for the remainder of the regular season.
