Dodgers World Series Roster Revealed Evan Phillips Out Graterol and Vesia In

The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced their final roster for the 2024 World Series, featuring some notable changes to their pitching lineup as they prepare to face off against the New York Yankees. In a surprising decision, top reliever Evan Phillips has been left off the roster due to arm fatigue. The Dodgers, opting for caution and compliance with MLB rules, made the difficult choice to sideline Phillips to preserve his health for future seasons.

To fill the gap left by Phillips, the Dodgers have added Brusdar Graterol and Alex Vesia, both of whom bring solid experience and reliability to the bullpen. Graterol’s powerful fastball and Vesia’s left-handed pitching will provide the team with the depth it needs in the bullpen, especially in high-stakes situations against a strong Yankees lineup. Along with the versatile Miguel Rojas, who also returns to the roster, the Dodgers are aiming to maintain a balanced team capable of handling the intense pressure of the Fall Classic.

Manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in the revised lineup, stating that the team has the depth and talent necessary to compete at the highest level. The absence of Phillips is certainly a loss, as his consistency and skill have been key assets throughout the season. However, Graterol and Vesia’s addition could prove to be crucial as the Dodgers look to secure another World Series title.
