Brewers Don't Make Any Changes To Roster For NL Championship Series

[Steve Drumwright]

 

The Milwaukee Brewers are running it back with the same 26-player roster they opened the postseason with.

There were no changes to the Brewers' roster for the NL Championship Series, which begins Sunday with Game 1 at American Family Field (7:08 p.m., Fox). The Brewers are sending right-hander Jacob Misiorowski to the mound against Dodgers left-hander Tarik Skubal.

That means an even split of position players and pitchers (13-13) for the best-of-seven.

No injuries popped up during the best-of-five NL Division Series against the San Diego Padres, which the Brewers won 3-1. The Brewers used all 13 position players and 10 of their pitchers in the Padres series. The three pitchers who didn't see action in the NLDS were left-handers Kyle Harrison and Shane Drohan and right-hander Chad Patrick.

The Dodgers made just one change to their roster for the NLCS. They added left-hander Justin Wrobleski to the pitching staff and took infielder Hyeseong Kim off. Wrobleski, who has started this season, can go multiple innings out of the bullpen.

Here is how the umps line up for Game 1: Edwin Moscoso behind the plate, crew chief Mark Wegner at first, Ryan Additon at second, Alan Porter at third, David Rackley in left field and John Tumpane in right field. Chris Segal sits out Game 1 but will be behind the plate for Game 2.
