Dodgers add Kershaw into mix for NLDS

THE DODGERS' Clayton Kershaw will pitch out of the bullpen in what could be his final postseason series.

When Clayton Kershaw was left off the Dodgers' roster for the best-of-three wildcard round against the Cincinnati Reds, it marked the first time since his 2008 rookie season that he didn't pitch in one of the team's playoff series when healthy.

But on Saturday, ahead of Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Dodgers decided to add Kershaw back in the mix, ensuring he will likely get the chance to take the mound at least one more time before entering retirement this offseason.

"We just wanted Clayton," manager Dave Roberts said. "Clayton's earned the opportunity to be on this roster. I'm going to use him accordingly."

Kershaw and fellow left-handed pitcher Anthony Banda were the only two changes the Dodgers made to their NLDS roster Saturday, swapping them in on an 11-man pitching staff in place of multi-inning left-hander Justin Wrobleski (who didn't pitch in the wildcard series) and rookie right-hander Edgardo Henriquez (who walked two batters and gave up a hit while recording no outs in Game 1 against the Reds).
