Most notably, De Paula<\/a> was promoted to the big leagues straight from Double-A. So, with this recent roster move, the young prospect made his Triple-A debut on Wednesday in the Oklahoma City Comets’ playoff game. The 6-foot-3 outfielder went 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Oklahoma City’s 7-2 postseason victory over the Las Vegas Aviators, the Athletics<\/a>‘ Triple-A affiliate. But this might not be the only taste of playoff baseball the lefty-swinging slugger gets in 2026. <\/p>\n Will the Dodgers actually consider putting Josue De Paula on their playoff roster?

Mandatory Credit: Isabella Frias-Imagn Images | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n Although De Paula<\/a> was optioned on Wednesday, he’s still eligible for the Dodgers’ National League Division Series roster, according to The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya<\/a>. Ardaya said the young outfielder could “be given heavy consideration” for a spot on the postseason team, but it remains to be seen whether Los Angeles will go down that route. <\/p>\n While his first stint in the majors was brief, De Paula<\/a> regularly showcased his offensive skill set and ability to get on base. Dodgers<\/a> manager Dave Roberts even called him a “special hitter,” according to Ardaya. But Los Angeles mostly used the 21-year-old as a designated hitter, limiting him to two games in the big-league outfield. And now that Ohtani is back, the Dodgers don’t have an immediate need for a DH. <\/p>\n As things stand, it’s unclear if De Paula will be on Los Angeles’ postseason roster. If he is included, it’ll most likely be in a pinch-hit role, unless an injury pops up. Either way, the talented prospect has quickly shown that he can make an impact for the Dodgers<\/a> now and in the future. <\/p>\n![\"Los](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01m3an2nn2be9xwrjmc0.jpg\" "\\"Los")
