The Cincinnati Reds finalized their playoff roster for their upcoming Wild Card series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Dodger Stadium, and it featured a a notable omission.
Despite the fact that the Reds
leaned on Brady Singer for two starts during the crucial final week of the regular season, Singer has been left off the Wild Card roster altogether. He pitched on Sunday, obviously, and as a starter with no real relief experience lately that meant he wouldn’t even be available on regular rest until a potential Game 3 of this series.
Rather than wait on him, the Reds added extra relievers, including Nick Lodolo – he’ll be a big piece out of the bullpen this series alongside Nick Martinez, as manager Terry Francona opted to give Zack Littell the start for Game 2 of the series on Wednesday night.
Here’s the entire 26-man roster for Cincinnati’s series vs. Los Angeles, which begins on Tuesday at 9 PM ET:
