Dodgers evaluate bullpen options for closing roles ahead of upcoming postseason

The Los Angeles Dodgers are weighing their bullpen options as the postseason approaches. Tanner Scott currently serves as the de facto closer, while Edgardo Henriquez has emerged as a key setup man after a standout season. Manager Dave Roberts is also tracking the status of Roki Sasaki and Edwin Diaz, both of whom are recovering from injuries. Sasaki is expected to return to the active roster by early next week and will likely serve as a reliever during the playoffs. Diaz is currently on a rehab assignment and is slated for a potential return to the bullpen in the coming days. The team continues to assess these pitchers to determine the best strategy for finishing games in high-pressure situations.
