The Phillies have finalized their 2023 National League Division Series roster against the Atlanta Braves with just one change.

Right-handed pitcher Michael Lorenzen is on and outfielder Weston Wilson is off. The Phillies roster is now up to 13 pitchers, the maximum amount teams allowed. Lorenzen will likely work out of the bullpen for the Phillies.

Everything else stays the same from the Wild Card roster. Here is the 26-man Phillies’ Division Series roster:

Pitchers (13): LHP José Alvarado, RHP Seranthony Domínguez, RHP Jeff Hoffman, RHP Orion Kerkering, RHP Craig Kimbrel, RHP Michael Lorenzen, RHP Aaron Nola, LHP Cristopher Sánchez, LHP Gregory Soto, LHP Matt Strahm, LHP Ranger Suárez, RHP Taijuan Walker, and RHP Zack Wheeler

Position Players (13): Hitters: INF Alec Bohm, OF Nick Castellanos, OF Jake Cave, INF/DH Bryce Harper, OF Brandon Marsh, OF Cristian Pache, C J.T. Realmuto, OF Johan Rojas, OF/DH Kyle Schwarber, INF Edmundo Sosa, INF Bryson Stott, C Garrett Stubbs, and INF Trea Turner

Just prior to the Phillies’ roster announcement, the Braves announced theirs.

Right-handed pitcher Kyle Wright, who won 20 games last year and dominated the Phillies in last year’s NLDS Game 2, did not make the roster. He did not pitch well after returning from a shoulder injury. Right-handed pitcher Jesse Chavez is also not on the roster. Charlie Morton will miss the series with a right-finger inflammation.

Here is the 26-man Braves’ Division Series roster:

Pitchers (12): RH Bryce Elder, LH Max Fried, LH Brad Hand, RH Daysbel Hernández, RH Raisel Iglesias, RH Joe Jimenez, RH Pierce Johnson, LH A.J. Minter, RH AJ Smith-Shawver, RH Spencer Strider, RH Michael Tonkin, RH Kirby Yates.

Position Players (13): Hitters: C Travis d’Arnaud, C Sean Murphy, INF Ozzie Albies, INF Orlando Arcia, INF Vaughn Grissom, INF Nicky Lopez, INF Matt Olson, INF Austin Riley, OF Ronald Acuña Jr., OF Michael Harris II, OF/DH Marcell Ozuna, OF Kevin Pillar, OF Eddie Rosario, and OF Forrest Wall.
