"Kiké Hernández hits a two-run double in the ninth inning to help lead the Dodgers to a 5-3 win over Seattle."
""I guess I'm still in the hope stage right now with his availability on Tuesday," manager Dave Roberts said."
"While the Dodgers' roster discussions remain fluid, Roberts sure made it sound on Friday night like embattled closer Tanner Scott and rookie phenom Roki Sasaki will be on the playoff roster."
The Dodgers defeated the Seattle Mariners 5-3 after Kiké Hernández delivered a two-run double in the ninth. Max Muncy missed a third straight game with leg problems, and the Dodgers remain optimistic he could be ready for Tuesday's postseason opener. Tommy Edman returned as designated hitter while still managing an ankle injury. Will Smith resumed batting practice using softer foam balls while recovering from a right-hand fracture. Roster focus centers on the pitching staff and bullpen; Emmet Sheehan will shift to the bullpen and Tanner Scott, Roki Sasaki, Blake Treinen and Alex Vesia figure into postseason plans. The bullpen finished Saturday with nine straight strikeouts.
