It seems as if Lorenzo Cain, Ryan Braun and Eric Thames -- all of whom were dealing with some sort of injury in the final week of the season -- are good to go, which is huge news considering they're among the most experienced veterans on the team.
They'll have a damn good defensive infield too with Thames at first, Keston Hiura at second, Orlando Arcia at shorstop, and Mike Moustakas at third. Meanwhile, rookie Trent Grisham will look to provide a spark atop the lineup as the leadoff hitter.

Brandon Woodruff is your Wild Card Game starter after a career year during the regular season. The hard-throwing right-hander finished 11-3 with a 3.62 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 22 starts.
The action kicks off at 8:08 p.m. ET, so get ready for some postseason baseball!
