The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced their 26-man roster for their World Series showdown against the Toronto Blue Jays .
Among the notable omissions are Alex Vesia, Tanner Scott and Ben Casparius.
Scott has been out since the NLDS after undergoing a lower body abscess excision. He was hopeful of returning for the World Series but has seemingly not been cleared.
The Dodgers announced that Vesia is «away from the team as he and his wife Kayla navigate a deeply personal family matter.»

The Dodgers will turn to Snell to start Game 1 of the World Series tonight against Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage.
Yamamoto is lined up to start Game 2, which is expected to be started by Jays righty Kevin Gausman.
Glasnow and Ohtani figure to start Games 3 and 4 for L.A., while Toronto will have Shane Bieber and former Dodger Max Scherzer as options in those contests.
Of course, specific matchups haven't yet been finalized and are subject to change anyhow, given the all-hands-on-deck nature teams tend to employ in critical postseason series.
