LOS ANGELES — Veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel, demoted as the Dodgers’ closer in September, was left off the roster for the best-of-five National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres.
Blake Treinen and Dustin May recovered from their injuries well enough to be included on the roster. Both faced hitters in intrasquad games over the weekend to test their readiness for the NLDS. May made only six starts after returning from a lengthy Tommy John surgery rehab. Three went well, three did not, and a lower-back injury ended his regular season on Sept. 21.
“Hanser took it like a pro,” Roberts said of the decision. “It’s been amazing what he has done for our ball club, on the field, in the clubhouse. I think sort of the thought behind it is Vargas is a hit tool, the bat to ball , and the foot speed. With our roster, we’ve got a lot of coverage infield-wise, outfield-wise, but to have somebody that can run like him, that the bat-to-ball to potentially drive in a run, we feel really comfortable with that.
