LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers will start Yasmani Grandal at catcher, Joc Pederson in center field and Kiké Hernandez in left field against the Mets in Game 5 of their National League Division Series on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium.
Grandal caught Zack Greinke in Game 2, and delivered a two-run single in Game 3 in New York. But he also grimaced on a swing on Monday night, and on Wednesday manager Don Mattingly estimated Grandal's chances of playing on Thursday at 50 percent.
