Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Monday that Buehler will start Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLCS against the Mets, Nick Hamilton of SiriusXM reports.

The Dodgers elected to go with an opener (Ryan Brasier) and bulk reliever (Landon Knack) in Game 2, setting Buehler up to pitch on the road in Game 3 Wednesday. Buehler allowed six runs and didn't record a single strikeout over five innings in his NLDS Game 3 start versus the Padres. He will be opposed by Luis Severino on Wednesday.

Severino will start Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Severino will not be with the Mets in Los Angeles for Game 2, as he's already headed back to New York in advance of his Game 3 start so that he can get plenty of rest. The right-hander has posted quality starts in each of his two postseason outings so far, allowing a combined seven runs (six earned) with a 10:2 K:BB over 12 innings. He'll be opposed by Walker Buehler in Game 3.

Pages will start in center field and bat ninth Monday in Game 2 of the NLCS versus the Mets.

Enrique Hernandez got the call in center field in Game 1, but it will be Pages there for Game 2 as Hernandez shifts to second base. It will be the first start this postseason for Pages, who went hitless in two plate appearances off the bench in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres after entering as a pinch runner.

McNeil is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the NLCS against the Dodgers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

McNeil was added to the Mets' NLCS roster after missing five-plus weeks with a fractured right wrist, but Jose Iglesias will make a second straight start at second base and Starling Marte will be in the lineup again in right field Monday. After lining out as a pinch hitter in Game 1, McNeil will be a candidate to come off the bench again in Game 2.

Lux (hip) is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the NLCS against the Mets, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Lux had to be lifted from Game 1 in the seventh inning due to hip flexor tightness. He will be available to pinch hit in Game 2 but will not be used on defense. The hope is that Lux will be ready to return to the lineup for Game 3 on Wednesday after two days of rest. Enrique Hernandez is at second base in Game 2.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Freeman (ankle) will be back in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the NLCS versus the Mets, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Freeman was lifted from Game 1 after seven innings, but that was simply to get him off his feet for a few frames since the Dodgers were out to a 6-0 lead at the time. The veteran first baseman is battling through a painful right ankle sprain but is expected to continue to gut it out as long as he doesn't experience a setback. Freeman reached base three times, drove in a run and scored a run in the Dodgers' Game 1 victory Sunday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Knack will serve as a bulk reliever Monday in Game 2 of the NLCS versus the Mets, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Ryan Brasier will be the opener for the Dodgers, with Knack in line to record "most of the outs," per Roberts. Knack made one one-inning relief appearance during the NLDS against the Padres but operated as either a traditional starter or bulk reliever in all 15 of his appearances during the regular season, collecting a 3.65 ERA and 69:18 K:BB over 69 frames.

Brasier will be the Dodgers' opening pitcher Monday in Game 2 of the NLCS against the Mets, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Brasier also served as an opener in Game 4 of the NLDS versus the Padres, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings. Landon Knack is in line for bulk relief on Tuesday against the Mets.

Nimmo revealed Sunday that he's dealt with plantar fasciitis in his left foot since May and aggravated the injury recently in Game 3 of the NLDS, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Nimmo noted that the foot doesn't really bother him while hitting or throwing in the outfield, but running causes discomfort. "I think when I really need it, I'm probably not 100 percent, but I can get going pretty good," he said. "But it's uncomfortable." Nimmo plans to continue playing through the injury during the NLCS and the World Series, should the Mets advance. He's slashing .241/.353/.345 with one home run in eight contests this postseason.

Buehler isn't expected to pitch in Game 2 of the NLCS on Monday as the Dodgers opt for a bullpen game, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said that the Dodgers' bullpen usage in Game 1 would determine whether Buehler would start Game 2. With Jack Flaherty throwing seven scoreless innings in the series opener, the Dodgers have the luxury of throwing a bullpen game Monday. Buehler will likely slot in as the team's Game 3 starter, though that hasn't been confirmed.
