Postseason roster remains a wild card

JACK DREYER is part of a recently improved Dodgers bullpen that closed out Saturday's win with four scoreless innings.
The Dodgers’ biggest questions in the final days of the regular season remain health related.
In a 5-3 win against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night, Max Muncy missed a third straight game while battling leg problems, though the Dodgers are still optimistic he'll be ready for Tuesday's postseason opener.
Utilityman Tommy Edman did return to the lineup, but only as designated hitter as he continues to nurse his long bothersome ankle injury.
And in the batting cage pregame, Will Smith resumed taking swings, but only off softer foam balls, continuing to leave his status for next week in doubt as he tries to return from a right hand fracture.
“I guess I'm still in the hope stage right now with his availability on Tuesday,” manager Dave Roberts said.
Beyond that, however, the Dodgers have other roster decisions to make before they open their best-of-three wildcard series. Entering the final day of the regular season, it’s still unclear exactly what their initial postseason roster will look like.
The biggest uncertainties revolve around the pitching staff, and a bullpen in particular that has been better in recent days, including nine straight strikeouts to end Saturday's game.
