Dave Roberts Reveals NLCS Rotation, Previews Rematch with Brewers

LOS ANGELES, CA — Dave Roberts will start Tarik Skubal in Sunday’s NLCS opener against the Brewers, then turn to Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2. That moves Yamamoto ahead of Blake Snell, who started the second game against Atlanta. Roberts said the change gives Yamamoto the best path to making two starts in the series. Speaking via Zoom on Friday, the Dodgers manager also outlined plans to add a pitcher and shared updates on Miguel Rojas, Edwin Díaz and Shohei Ohtani.
