Dodgers' Roberts: Everyone except Kershaw, Darvish available in Game 6

Kelvin Kuo / USA TODAY Sports

The Dodgers return to Los Angeles on Tuesday to host the final two games of the World Series trailing the Houston Astros three games to two.

With the series on the line in the potential season-ending contest, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts isn't going to take any chances when he has a full arsenal of arms to choose from.

Roberts told reporters, including J.P. Hoornstra of the Orange County Register, everyone will be available out of the bullpen Tuesday with Clayton Kershaw and Yu Darvish as the only exceptions, presumably saving one or both of them for a potential Game 7.

Among the options available for Game 6 is Alex Wood, who started Game 4 for the Dodgers. Wood could provide Roberts with insurance in case Game 6 starter Rich Hill has a short outing,

Hill will pitch opposite Astros starter Justin Verlander in Game 6.
