Josue De Paula Positioned for Dodgers Playoff Roster After Rapid MLB Rise

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie outfielder Josue De Paula is preparing for a potential spot on the postseason roster for the NLDS starting Saturday. The 21-year-old slugger impressed during an 11-game major league stint in September after being called up directly from Double-A, hitting .323 with one home run, five extra-base hits, seven RBIs, and reaching base safely in half of his 42 plate appearances. After a brief Triple-A detour, he is competing with Dalton Rushing for a left-handed bench role.
