ST. LOUIS — Hours before the Phillies open up their much anticipated return to the playoffs against the St. Louis Cardinals, the team released its roster for the Wild Card series:

Among the highlights:

Edmundo Sosa (right hamstring strain) is on the roster. He participated in the Phillies’ pre-series workout on Thursday and the club said they will make an evaluation after the fact.
Brad Hand (left elbow tendinitis) is one of the team’s 13 pitchers. Rob Thomson said Thursday “I would think he’s ready.” He has not pitched since Sept. 20.
The Phillies elected to carry Noah Syndergaard, Bailey Falter and Kyle Gibson, even though none of the three are expected to start.

Darick Hall, Daulton Guthrie and Nick Nelson are off the roster.
