Boricuas Remain in MLB Playoffs

Why this matters: The presence of Heliot Ramos, Edwin Díaz, and Kiké Hernández in the MLB playoffs maintains Puerto Rico’s representation in the competition, giving the island’s baseball fans a continued interest in the postseason.

Puerto Rico maintains representation in the MLB playoffs with three players: Heliot Ramos with the New York Yankees, and Edwin Díaz and Kiké Hernández with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ramos, from Humacao, joined the Yankees in August and participated in the Wild Card Series. Díaz remains a reliever option for the Dodgers, while Hernández brings extensive postseason experience with over 90 games played.

The Puerto Rican representation decreased after the Wild Card round, with several teams eliminated. The 26-man postseason rosters can be modified before each series, so the Puerto Rican representation may change as the postseason advances.
