Yamamoto (3-1) earned the win over Toronto in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over nine innings.

Yamamoto's outing got off to a shaky start, as he gave up a double and a single to the first two batters he faced to put runners on the corners for Toronto. However, the right-hander was able to wiggle his way out of the frame without getting scored upon, thanks in part to a key strikeout of Vladimir Guerrero. Yamamoto was touched up for a run in the third on a hit-by-pitch, single and sacrifice fly, but that was the last time the Blue Jays put a runner on base against him. The Japanese hurler finished his outing by retiring 20 consecutive batters, establishing a Dodgers postseason record, per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com. In addition, Yamamoto -- who also hurled a complete game against Milwaukee in Game 2 of the NLCS -- became the first Dodger to toss back-to-back postseason complete games since Orel Hershiser in 1988 and the first pitcher on any team to do so since Curt Schilling in 2001.

Bichette isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Bichette played in Game 1 on Friday -- his first game action in seven weeks -- but the Jays will keep the 27-year-old infielder on the bench Saturday while he continues to nurse a left knee injury. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at second base as a result and bat eighth.

Barger went 2-for-2 with a grand slam during Toronto's 11-4 victory in Game 1 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Friday.

Having already scored three runs in the sixth inning, Toronto was on the verge of taking full control of Friday's contest when Barger entered the game to hit for Davis Schneider. With the bases loaded, Barger slugged a 413-foot home run into center field off lefty Anthony Banda, marking the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history. The 25-year-old Barger has gone deep in two of his last three playoff games and is slashing .324/.405/.622 through 42 plate appearances in the postseason.

Yesavage didn't factor into the decision in Game 1 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters across four innings.

Yesavage got off to a strong start by retiring the side in order in the first -- highlighted by a strikeout of Shohei Ohtani -- but the rookie right-hander eventually fell victim to the strength of Los Angeles' offense. An Enrique Hernandez RBI single gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the second, and Will Smith plated another run with his single in the third. Yesavage's pitch count had reached 80 by the end of the fourth frame, forcing Toronto to turn to its bullpen early and preventing the 22-year-old from benefiting from the Jays' nine-run explosion in the sixth. If the Dodgers are able to win at least one of the next three contests, Yesavage would likely be the choice to take the mound in Los Angeles for Game 5.

Snell took the loss in Game 1 of the World Series against Toronto on Friday after giving up five earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five-plus innings.

Snell had been dominant during Los Angeles' postseason run, but the left-hander struggled with his command Friday. He allowed six men to reach base over the first three innings before giving up a game-tying two-run homer to Daulton Varsho in the fourth. The score remained even until the bottom of the sixth, at which point Snell walked Bo Bichette, gave up a single to Alejandro Kirk and hit Varsho with a pitch before coming out of the game without recording an out. The Dodgers' bullpen allowed all three inherited runners to score, kicking off what would be a nine-run outburst from the Jays in an eventual 11-4 victory. Assuming Toronto doesn't pull off the sweep, Snell is expected to take the mound again in Game 5.

Bichette will start at second base and hit cleanup in Friday's World Series Game 1 against the Dodgers.

Bichette has never played second base at the major-league level, having last seen action at the position in 2019 at Triple-A Buffalo. It's a big ask for him to start at the keystone in Game 1 of the World Series, particularly after he missed the past seven weeks with a PCL sprain in his left knee. However, the Blue Jays are willing to roll the dice in order to get Bichette's bat into the lineup and keep George Springer at designated hitter, where he's thrived.

Scott (lower body) is not on the Dodgers' World Series roster.

Scott underwent a lower-body abscess procedure earlier this month and has not made an appearance this postseason. The reliever had resumed throwing and was hoping to be added to the roster for the Fall Classic, but the Dodgers have decided against it.

Klein is on the Dodgers' World Series roster.

Klein has not pitched in nearly a month, having been left off the roster for each of the Dodgers' first three postseason series. He'll likely be limited to low-leverage appearances during the World Series.

Henriquez is on the Dodgers' World Series roster.

Henriquez was on the roster for the wild-card round but not included on the Dodgers' NLDS or NLCS rosters. The hard-throwing right-hander is now back in the bullpen for the Fall Classic to provide manager Dave Roberts with another relief arm.

Vesia (personal) is not on the Dodgers' World Series roster.

Vesia is away from the club while tending to a personal family matter. Per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Vesia will not be placed on the family medical emergency list, which means he's ineligible to added to the Dodgers' World Series roster at a later date.
