Dodgers bullpen management raises questions ahead of postseason

As the Dodgers prepare for the playoffs, they face uncertainty regarding their closer position. Andrew Friedman expressed confidence in various relievers stepping up in high-pressure situations, despite not naming a designated closer. The Dodgers concluded their regular season with 100 wins after a recent victory over the Giants. Friedman acknowledged that several pitchers, including Tanner Scott and Edwin Díaz, could potentially take on closing roles depending on matchups. With left-handed hitters on opponent rosters, the Dodgers may employ Scott strategically against them. Postseason plans remain fluid as the team evaluates its options.
