Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Postseason return not ruled out
Rotowire
President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Saturday that Treinen (shoulder) hasn't been ruled out for a return in the postseason, Jon Paul Hoornstra of Newsweek.com reports.
Treinen landed on the injured list at the end of the regular season due to right shoulder inflammation, but Friedman said that the 38-year-old's injury isn't severe enough to require surgery. His availability for future postseason series (if the Dodgers advance) will likely depend on how quickly he recovers, but there's still a chance he can aid Los Angeles' bullpen as the team pursues a third consecutive World Series title.

Dodgers' Josue De Paula: Listed on NLDS roster
Rotowire
De Paula is listed on the Dodgers' roster for their National League Division Series against Atlanta.
The 21-year-old outfielder spent time with the Dodgers near the end of the regular season while Shohei Ohtani was on the injured list. De Paula showed during his stint with the big club that his bat is already capable of handling MLB pitching, as he slashed .323/.500/.581 with a homer, seven RBI, 7 runs scored an an 11:5 BB:K across 42 plate appearances. However, the Dodgers already have an abundance of firepower in their lineup, so De Paula will almost certainly be limited to a bench role during the NLDS.
Skubal will start Game 1 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The Dodgers have an embarrassment of riches in their rotation, and they'll opt for Skubal over Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 1. Presumably, Yamamoto will take the ball in Game 2, with Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow lurking. Skubal made 10 starts for the Dodgers after landing in Los Angeles at the trade deadline, logging a 2.61 ERA and 70:13 K:BB across 62 innings.
Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Feeling good after live BP
Rotowire
General manager Brandon Gomes said Tuesday that Henriquez (back) is "trending really well" after throwing an encouraging round of live batting practice, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Henriquez ended the regular season on the injured list due to a low-grade back strain, but because the Dodgers have a bye during the wild-card round, he'll have time to heal before the team begins its postseason run. The 24-year-old righty still has a few boxes left to check off, but assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks during his remaining workouts, he'll likely be included in the Dodgers' NLDS roster.
Dodgers' Andy Pages: Caps off strong regular season
Rotowire
Pages went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk Sunday in a 5-1 extra-inning over the Giants.
Pages gave the Dodgers insurance with a three-run jack in the 10th inning. The outfielder certainly appears to have his timing at the plate following a monthlong stay on the injured list, going 6-for-18 with two homers, one double and five RBI in his last six games. He heads into the postseason after hitting .274 with 23 long balls, 85 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 75 runs scored over 511 at-bats in the regular season.

Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Fans two as opener
Rotowire
Dreyer didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Giants, allowing one run on two hits and no walks in two innings. He struck out two.
Auditioning for a spot on the Dodgers' playoff roster, Dreyer surrendered a run in the first inning Sunday as the opener. The left-hander was pretty reliable for Los Angeles in 2026, but it may depend upon how many pitchers Los Angeles carries into the National League Division Series as to whether or not he makes the cut. He ends the regular season with a 3.20 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 73:23 K:BB in 64.2 innings, collecting 11 holds plus two saves (five opportunities).
