Phillies notes: Rojas’ playoff status; Strahm’s contract; Painter and Crawford

The Phillies have not revealed yet whether they will carry 13 or 14 pitchers on their NLDS roster, but even if they do carry an extra man for the best-of-five series, it won’t be Johan Rojas.

There had been some thought that Rojas, who spent the final two months of the season at Triple-A, could be a postseason fit for at least one round because of his speed and defense. Theoretically, he could serve more of a purpose than one or both of Otto Kemp and Weston Wilson.

But Rojas is nursing a quad injury and will not be ready for the Divisional Round, which begins Saturday.
