Dodgers' Corey Seager: Parlays huge NLCS into MVP honors
Seager went hitless across five at-bats in the Dodgers' 4-3 win over the Braves in Game 7 of the series. He was named the NLCS MVP as Los Angeles advanced to the World Series.
Though he finished the series with a relative whimper, Seager was the catalyst for the Los Angeles offense in the prior six games, during which he reached base at a .400 clip while mashing five home runs and two doubles and driving in 11 runs. The home run and RBI totals were the most by any player in a single postseason series in National League history.

Dodgers' Corey Seager: Homers yet again
Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's NLCS Game 6 win over the Braves.
Seager opened the scoring with a solo shot off Max Fried in the first inning, kicking off a three-run rally that would provide the Dodgers with all the runs they would need in their 3-1 win. The shortstop had an excellent regular season, hitting .307/.358/.585 with 15 homers in 52 games, and he's been even more productive in the playoffs. Seager has homered six times in 11 postseason games, scoring 13 runs and driving in 15 more while posting a .333/.396/.857 slash line.

Dodgers' Corey Seager: Racks up four RBI in Game 2
Seager went 2-for-4 with a home run, one double, four total RBI, two runs, one walk and two strikeouts in Tuesday's Game 2 loss to Atlanta.
Seager was the Dodgers' top performer Tuesday as the team nearly came back late in the contest. The shortstop has struck out four times over the first two games of the series, but he's still been quite effective since the start of the postseason.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Joins playoff roster
Camargo was added to Atlanta's NLCS roster Tuesday.
Camargo joins the team in place of Adam Duvall, who suffered an oblique injury in Game 1 on Monday. It's possible Camargo sees some time in Duvall's spot in left field, though the Braves have a number of other outfield options they can turn to. It's also possible Pablo Sandoval enters the lineup as a designated hitter, pushing Marcell Ozuna out to left. Camargo is still searching for his first career postseason hit after going hitless in four games back in 2018. He's coming off a season in which he hit just .200/.244/.367 in 35 games.

Dodgers' Corey Seager: Blasts solo shot in Game 1 win
Seager went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's Game 1 victory over the Brewers.
He took Freddy Peralta deep in the seventh inning to give the Dodgers an insurance run. That blast ended up being the last score of a 4-2 win. Seager and Mookie Betts did most of the damage for the Dodgers out of the first two spots in the lineup.
