Joe Kelly - Likely out until World Series Kelly (shoulder) isn't expected to be able to pitch again this season unless the Dodgers reach the World Series, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Kelly tweaked his shoulder in a simulated game this week. The issue explains why the right-handed reliever was left off Los Angeles' NLDS roster. Though Kelly posted an unimpressive 4.78 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 32 innings during the regular season, he recorded a 9.8 K/9 and tied for third on the team with 13 holds.

Clayton Kershaw - Won't pitch again this season Kershaw's injured toe has not improved, and he won't be available to pitch again in 2024 regardless of how far the Dodgers advance in the playoffs, Bill Plunkett of The Orange Coun...
Impact Kershaw is dealing with a bone spur in his left big toe and hasn't pitched since Aug. 30. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Saturday that the issue may have gotten worse as the veteran southpaw has tried to prepare for a return, and that will prevent Kershaw from pitching again this season. The future Hall of Famer was limited to a career-low seven appearances in 2024 and posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB over 30 innings.

Freddie Freeman - Status for Game 1 uncertain Freeman (ankle) isn't certain to play in Game 1 of the NLDS, and manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that he is "not as hopeful" about the first baseman's status as he was Friday, B...
Impact Freeman told reporters Friday that he intends to play in the first game of the divisional series, but Roberts' comments one day later suggest that such a scenario is far from certain. It's not clear if Freeman has suffered a setback or if he was being overly optimistic when he said he expected to play, and it's worth noting that the severity of his sprain --- which he suffered just over a week ago (on Sept. 26) -- typically has a recovery period of 4-to-6 weeks. Freeman is on the Dodgers' NLDS roster, but if he's unable to play Saturday, Enrique Hernandez could get the start at first base.

Michael Grove - Gets spot on NLDS roster Grove is included on the Dodgers' roster for the NLDS versus San Diego.
Impact Grove recorded 39 appearances -- including two starts -- during the regular season and posted a 5.12 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB over 51 innings. The right-hander was sent to the minors in mid-September but was activated Saturday to serve as a bullpen piece during the divisional series. Grove will give Los Angeles a bit of length out of the bullpen, as 14 of his 39 outings during the campaign went longer than one inning.

Clayton Kershaw - Not on NLDS roster Kershaw (toe) does not have a roster spot for the NLDS versus San Diego.
Impact Kershaw's absence from the roster doesn't come as a surprise, as the veteran left-hander is still recovering from a toe injury. There is a possibility that he could play if the Dodgers advance to the NLCS or World Series, though that's far from a guarantee. The starting pitchers included on Los Angeles' NLDS roster include Jack Flaherty, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Walker Buehler and Landon Knack.

Joe Kelly - Doesn't get spot on NLDS roster Kelly is not included on the Dodgers' roster for the National League Division Series against San Diego.
Impact Kelly had a shoulder injury that sidelined him late in the season, but he was able to return from the injured list Sept. 18 and gave up only one run while posting a 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings thereafter. However, the right-handed reliever won't be an option out of the bullpen for Los Angeles during the NLDS. The Dodgers did give a roster spot to hard-throwing rookie Edgardo Henriquez, who logged just three regular-season appearances.
