No official decisions have been made yet, but it appears Josue De Paula will have a role to play this October.
Los Angeles Dodgers top prospect Josue De Paula is preparing for a potential spot on the club's postseason roster ahead of the National League Division Series. The 21-year-old outfielder took part in workouts and batting practice at Dodger Stadium on Thursday, competing with Dalton Rushing for a left-handed bench role for Game 1 on Saturday.
