Dave Roberts said on September 26, 2026, that the Los Angeles Dodgers would take September 27 off and hold a workout on September 29 before beginning postseason preparation.
“I thought the pitching did a remarkable job today,” Roberts said, adding that the Dodgers worked to avoid using certain players. Bobby pitched multiple innings for the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Alex recorded a key two-out hit for the team.
Roberts noted that the Dodgers' 100-win season was meaningful as an organizational accomplishment even though it did not change their postseason standing. “it's still a nice, you know, feather in our cap to win 100 games,” he said. He also stated that the result matched him for the most 100-win seasons by any manager, saying, “I'm in some rare air, some good company.”
Roberts explained that the Dodgers remained committed through the challenges of the season: “we just continue to, you know, remain steadfast and play on.” He said Shohei Ohtani's process improved during the game and that “the main thing is that we feel that he came out of it healthy.”
The Dodgers will have hitting available for Ohtani during the week, while Shohei Ohtani will decide whether to face pitchers. Roberts added that the Dodgers would watch the Philadelphia Phillies-Atlanta Braves matchup during their workout before facing either the Philadelphia Phillies or Atlanta Braves in the postseason.
