Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Gives up Game 4 grand slam
Hudson allowed a pivotal grand slam to Anthony Volpe to take the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday in Game 4 of the World Series.
After Ben Casparius gave the Dodgers two innings of one-run ball, manager Dave Roberts wanted to avoid having him go through the top of the Yankees' order again and turned to Hudson, who didn't have it Tuesday. After Hudson's inning, the Dodgers avoided using their remaining primary relievers in order to have them all be available for Wednesday's Game 5.

Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol: On World Series roster
Graterol (shoulder) was added to the Dodgers' World Series roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Graterol has been out since the final week of the regular season due to right shoulder inflammation, but he's been throwing recently and showed enough that the Dodgers felt comfortable including him on their roster for the Fall Classic. The hard thrower is capable of handling high-leverage innings and could be needed for them with Evan Phillips (arm) out of commission.

Vesia (ribs) was added to the Dodgers' World Series roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Vesia was left off the NLCS roster because of a rib cage injury, but he threw a successful simulated game Wednesday which convinced the Dodgers he was healthy enough to return. The left-hander made three scoreless relief appearances during the NLDS.
