Conforto remains off the NLDS roster, trimming the Dodgers' right-handed depth and emphasizing the bullpen-centric strategy over pure bat depth.

Michael Conforto is left off the playoff roster after a down season, despite a lucrative contract. His absence opens bench depth for Call and Dean, while Conforto’s absence removes a potential left-handed spark from a critical three-game slate.

Conforto sits atop the unlucky list with a 3.0 score, delivering a brutal Dodgers debut: .199 average, OPS+ 79 and -0.7 WAR. His season’s collapse contrasts with prior production and signals potential rebound or continued struggle.

Conforto connected for a line-drive hit and later contributed to the Dodgers’ scoring sequence, including driving in a run on a left-field ball and being part of the late-inning offense surge.

Conforto contributed a key seventh-inning single and was part of the late rally that set the stage for Hernández’s dagger double.
