Jarvis isn't on the Diamondbacks' NLDS roster, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Although Jarvis put up a 3.04 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 23.2 innings in the majors this season, the Diamondbacks didn't use him out of the bullpen during their wild-card series against the Brewers. He'll now be cast off the roster ahead of their Divisional Series matchup against the Dodgers in favor of Kyle Nelson.

Yarbrough isn't listed on the Dodgers' roster for the NLDS, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Yarbrough turned in an ugly performance in his season finale, surrendering nine runs in four innings while striking out just two batters en route to a loss Sept. 28 against Colorado. He'll end up being passed up for the postseason roster while Emmet Sheehan and Michael Grove both earn spots.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Pepiot is "in play" to pitch in Game 3 of the NLDS on Wednesday at Arizona, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

Pepiot could either work in bulk relief behind Lance Lynn or get the start himself as the best-of-five National League Division Series shifts from Dodger Stadium to Chase Field. Pepiot made only eight appearances -- three starts -- in the majors during the regular season but dominated to the tune of a 2.14 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 38:5 K:BB in 42 innings.

Tonkin will be on Atlanta's roster for the NLDS versus the Phillies, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The 33-year-old right-hander essentially won out over Kyle Wright for the primary long relief gig. Tonkin struggled down the stretch in the regular season, but he was a bullpen workhorse for the NL East champs over the course of the year while logging 80 innings across 45 appearances.

Hernandez (forearm) will be part of Atlanta's roster for the NLDS against the Phillies, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez allowed three earned runs over just 3.2 major-league innings during the regular season and finished out the year on the 60-day injured list due to right forearm inflammation. Bowman notes, however, that the 27-year-old reliever "made a great impression" during Atlanta's pair of intrasquad games this week at Truist Park to secure a bullpen spot for the best-of-five National League Division Series versus Philadelphia. Michael Tonkin also made the cut, while Jesse Chavez and Kyle Wright did not.

Chavez was informed Friday that he will not be on Atlanta's roster for the NLDS, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Chavez returned in mid-September after missing three months because of a microfracture in his left shin, but the veteran reliever isn't quite at full strength leading into Atlanta's best-of-five NLDS matchup against the Phillies. Chavez will continue to work out on the side and could be reconsidered for a bullpen spot if the NL East champs advance to the NLCS.

Hudson (knee) is scheduled to pitch in an intrasquad game Thursday at Dodger Stadium, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hudson has been sidelined since early July because of a sprained MCL in his right knee and won't be ready for the NLDS, but he is aiming to return to the Dodgers' bullpen if they advance to the NLCS. The veteran reliever resumed facing live hitters in late September and has progressed without issue so far.

Kimbrel allowed one hit in a scoreless inning to record a save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Marlins in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series.

Kimbrel gave up a double to Josh Bell to put a run in scoring position, but he managed to close the door on the Marlins' hopes of coming back in Game 1. Kimbrel blew two of four save opportunities in September, despite an impressive 1.50 ERA in that stretch. However, the veteran right-hander is now a perfect 8-for-8 in save chances in the postseason over his career while posting a 3.96 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 27 strikeouts across 25 innings.

Nelson is not on the Diamondbacks' roster for their NL Wild Card Series matchup versus the Brewers.

Bryce Jarvis is essentially being carried instead as the Diamondbacks roll with 12 pitchers and 14 position players. Nelson surrendered 10 runs -- nine earned -- over his final 6.2 innings to close out the 2023 regular season.

Weathers is on the Marlins' roster for their NL Wild Card Series matchup against the Phillies.

Weathers finished the regular season on a high note Sunday at Pittsburgh, scattering two hits and three walks over six scoreless innings in what was his longest start since May. The 23-year-old left-hander figures to operate in long relief in the best-of-three series versus Philadelphia.
