Lobaton is not in the lineup for Game 1 of the NLDS against the Dodgers, Chase Hughes of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lobaton has been a bit beaten up all season, and given Pedro Severino's success against left-handers at the end of the season, manager Dusty Baker decided to give the rookie the start for Game 1. Lobaton and Severino could both see time behind the dish during the NLDS, although it's unclear exactly how Baker plans to distribute the innings between them.
