The Atlanta Braves released their 26-man roster for the National League Division Series Tuesday morning, for their NLDS series against the Philadelphia Phillies beginning Tuesday afternoon.

The most notable addition to the Braves postseason roster is starting pitcher Spencer Strider. Strider has been nursing an oblique injury and has not pitched in a game since Sept. 18.

It remains unclear how the Braves will use him in the NLDS or if they will use him as a starting pitcher or a reliever, but he will be available.

The Braves will carry 14 position players and 12 pitchers on their NLDS roster.
