Roberts acknowledged that it's an uphill battle for Rushing to make a postseason roster given his limitations (and that he's only had 8 PAs since the beginning of August), but "what he's done for us this year certainly deserves some consideration." https://t.co/bRHUr9T2u7

Some positive injury news for the Dodgers: Edgardo Henriquez said he threw a bullpen session yesterday, his first since landing on the IL. His back is in a better spot after dealing with some discomfort for about a month.

He said he thinks he can be ready for the NLDS.
