The Los Angeles Dodgers included a couple mild surprises in setting their 28-man active roster for the Wild Card Series, perhaps most notably leaving Gavin Lux off. Along with the 15 position players and 13 pitchers who are active, the Dodgers have a 10-man taxi squad.
Along with Lux it features Scott Alexander, Dylan Floro, Zach McKinstry, DJ Peters, Luke Raley, Dennis Santana, Josh Sborz, Mitch White and Alex Wood. Alexander, Floro and Santana each pitched substantially during the regular season.
Alexander, who contracted coronavirus (COVID-19) and reported late to Summer Camp, was with the team until Walker Buehler returned from his first stint on the 10-day injured list on Sept.
