Kim wasn't included on the Dodgers' roster for the NLCS against the Brewers, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

The 27-year-old played in 43 games for Los Angeles across the first two months of the campaign, but he was demoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City in late May after posting a .651 OPS. Kim spent the rest of the regular season before being added to the roster for the NLDS, during which he made one appearance as a defensive replacement. Justin Wrobleski will round out the roster for the NLCS.

Misiorowski will start Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Misiorowski took the mound to begin the opening contest of the NLDS against San Diego, and the Brewers will turn to their ace again to begin their best-of-seven series against Los Angeles. The 24-year-old is a strong contender to take home the NL Cy Young Award after posting a 1.80 ERA and 0.80 WHIP across 174.2 innings in the regular season, but he wasn't quite as dominant during his first postseason outing, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while fanning six batters in four innings.

Skubal will start Game 1 of the NLCS against the Brewers on Sunday, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Skubal was brilliant during his start in Game 1 of the NLDS against Atlanta, giving up just one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over six innings. He'll aim to maintain his success as he takes the mound to open the series against the Brewers, whom he gave up six runs (five earned) to over 12 innings in the regular season.

Atlanta designated Williams for assignment Friday, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

Williams spent nearly all of the regular season in the minors but joined Atlanta's roster for the postseason. He was unable to appear in a game before Atlanta's elimination and will now be pushed back off the 40-man roster in favor of Danny Young.

Buehler didn't factor in the decision in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Brewers on Wednesday. He gave up a run on three hits with two walks and no strikeouts over three innings.

The veteran right-hander fought his control at times, throwing just 25 of his 47 pitches for strikes, but he kept San Diego in the game with just one run allowed. Buehler joined the Padres on a minor-year contract in February but made the Opening Day roster and spent all year in the rotation. He struggled to a 5.36 ERA during the first half of the campaign but posted a 3.62 ERA after the All-Star break, finishing the regular season with an overall 4.63 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 131:57 K:BB across 153.2 innings. Buehler will return to the open market this winter, and it remains to be seen if he's done enough to secure a rotation spot somewhere for 2027.

Gasser didn't factor into the decision in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Padres on Wednesday, giving up a run on three hits with three strikeouts and a walk over four innings.

The left-hander threw 40 of 56 pitches for strikes as he held San Diego in check, with the only damage against him being a solo homer from Fernando Tatis. It was Gasser's first playoff start after making two relief appearances during the postseason last year. This performance should be more than enough to solidify his place in Milwaukee's rotation for the NLCS, with him likely lining up to start Game 4 in Los Angeles.

Zuber will undergo UCL surgery with an internal brace on his right elbow Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The internal brace procedure comes with a shorter rehab timetable than a full Tommy John surgery, but Zuber nonetheless could be sidelined until the 2028 season. Zuber posted a 5.67 ERA in 2026 thanks in large part to 10 home runs allowed in 39.2 innings, but a 42:11 K:BB offered more promise.

Marsee will undergo a UCL repair with an internal brace on his left elbow Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Marsee played through elbow soreness down the stretch of the regular season, and surgery was recommended following a visit with Dr. Keith Meister. He is expected to be ready to play in games again in six months, which puts his availability for Opening Day in doubt. Marsee slashed .231/.348/.359 with 11 home runs and 23 stolen bases this season for Miami.

Diaz retired all three batters he faced with one strikeout to earn the save in Game 4 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Wednesday.

It's the second straight day with a save for Diaz, who was shifted to a low-leverage role late in the season and also dealt with a neck injury. Tanner Scott operated as the Dodgers' primary closer down the stretch, but he surrendered two runs in Game 1 and was used in a setup role Wednesday. Diaz's 8.68 ERA in 21 appearances during the regular season will likely prevent him from being viewed as a lockdown closer this October, but he's been unscored upon in his last eight appearances (three postseason) and is clearly back in the high-leverage mix for manager Dave Roberts.

Glasnow didn't factor into the decision in Game 4 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Wednesday. He allowed a run on one hit and five walks with five strikeouts across 4.2 innings.

The right-hander surrendered a run during the opening frame on a single, a stolen base and a wild pitch, but he was otherwise able to overcome his lack of control and keep Atlanta off the board. Glasnow threw just 44 of 78 pitches for strikes and allowed at least one batter to reach in each of the five frames he appeared. The 33-year-old should pick up another start in the NLCS, possibly in Game 4 again since Tarik Skubal, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blake Snell likely locked into the Dodgers' top rotation spots.
