The Dodgers’ unexpected NLCS exit is already forcing roster moves, starting with backup catcher Ben Rortvedt. Brought in at the trade deadline to shore up the catching depth amid injuries to Will Smith and Dalton Rushing, the 29-year-old was expected to provide valuable cover.

Shohei Ohtani remains one of baseball’s most extraordinary pitchers, which is exactly why the Dodgers face such a difficult decision.
