The NLCS gets underway Friday night in St. Louis, and the Dodgers have added Carlos Marmol and Edinson Volquez to their bullpen.

The pair replaces Paco Rodriguez and Chris Capuano on the team's roster.

Rodriguez being left off the roster wasn't surprising after he allowed two runs in 2/3 of an inning in Game 3 of the Division Series against the Braves. But Capuano's omission was, as he pitched three scoreless innings in relief to earn the win in Game 3.
