Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Flaherty was removed from his start in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday due to hamstring tightness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Flaherty's hamstring reportedly began bothering him just before he threw the pitch that Giancarlo Stanton sent 412 feet into left field during the sixth inning. While Flaherty's injury was enough to force him out of the game after 90 pitches, the Dodgers don't believe it will affect his availability for the rest of the series, keeping him in line to start a potential Game 5.

Buehler will start Monday against the Yankees in Game 3 of the World Series, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

After allowing six earned runs in his first start of the postseason, Buehler was able to bounce back by throwing four scoreless frames during his outing against the Mets in the NLCS. He'll look to build upon the positive momentum he gained from his last start, though that may be easier said than done against a Yankees offense that led the American League with a .762 OPS during the regular season.

Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Berti was left off the Yankees' World Series roster due to a right hip flexor injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The Yankees skipper noted that Berti's injury occurred while he was running the bases in Game 4 of the ALCS, and he would have been part of the roster had he not gotten hurt. Because of the utility man's absence, Nestor Cortes (elbow) will rejoin New York's roster to provide additional pitching depth for the World Series.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Hernandez will be in the lineup every day during the World Series, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

He's starting in center field and batting sixth in Game 1. His position may change from game to game, but Hernandez should remain in the Dodgers' lineup for each of the Fall Classic games. He's slashing .303/.378/.485 with two homers this postseason and has slugged 15 home runs over 81 career playoff contests.

Lux (hip) will start at second base and bat eighth Friday in Game 1 of the World Series against the Yankees, Travis Sawchik of theScore.com reports.

Lux didn't start Game 6 of the NLCS as he dealt with continued soreness in his hip, but with extra rest between series he's ready to give it a go. The 26-year-old Lux is 5-for-24 with one home run during the 2024 postseason.

Freeman (ankle) will start at first base and bat third Friday in Game 1 of the World Series versus the Yankees, Travis Sawchik of theScore.com reports.

Freeman didn't play in Game 4 or Game 6 of the NLCS as he battles lingering soreness in his right ankle, but nearly a week off between games has the first baseman feeling better. The 35-year-old Freeman is 7-for-32 with zero extra-base hits and one RBI so far this postseason.

Berti is not on the Yankees' World Series roster.

Berti has made three starts at first base against lefties this postseason, but the Yankees have elected to carry Nestor Cortes (elbow) on their World Series roster instead. With Berti off the roster, the Yankees will either start Anthony Rizzo or Oswaldo Cabrera at first base versus left-handers.

Cortes (elbow) was added to the Yankees' World Series roster Friday.

Cortes has been shelved since late September with a left flexor strain but had faced hitters a couple times over the past week and bounced back with no issues. The left-hander is expected to be used in relief by the Yankees, although it's unclear how many innings he might be able to go.

Henriquez is not on the Dodgers' World Series roster, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

The Dodgers have gotten Alex Vesia (ribs) and Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) back and Henriquez is one of the roster casualties. He has allowed four runs over five relief innings this postseason.

Kiermaier is not on the Dodgers' World Series roster, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Kiermaier was included on the NLCS roster instead of Miguel Rojas (thigh), but Rojas is healthy enough to return to action for the World Series. Kiermaier has announced he will retire after the season, so the outfielder has played in his last major-league game, barring him being an injury replacement later in the series.
