PHILADELPHIA – The Phillies announced their NL Division Series roster on Saturday morning.
There were no surprises.
The Phillies will carry 12 pitchers in the best-of-five series. It made sense to carry one fewer pitcher, considering there are three days off during the series, which allow the staff to get plenty of rest. Both Weston Wilson and Otto Kemp made the team. Johan Rojas might have been a consideration for the bench, but he is still recovering from a quad injury.
Rojas could come into play in the NL Championship Series, if the Phillies beat the Dodgers in the NLDS.
Here is the roster:
Pitchers (12): Left-handers -- Tanner Banks, Jesús Luzardo, Tim Mayza, Cristopher Sánchez, Matt Strahm and Ranger Suárez. Right-handers -- Walker Buehler, Jhoan Duran, Orion Kerkering, Aaron No
