PHOENIX - Cubs manager Lou Piniella announced his 25-man National League Division Series roster after the team's brief workout Tuesday afternoon at Chase Field.
The notable names left off the roster: left-handers Sean Marshall and Will Ohman; right-hander Steve Trachsel; outfielder Craig Monroe; and catcher Hendry Blanco. The notable addition is right-handed reliever Kevin Hart.
That means Piniella will use 11 pitchers and 14 position players.

Piniella delayed announcing his final roster until he checked the health of left-handed pinch hitter Daryle Ward, who is nursing a sprained left thumb. Ward was able to swing and make contact without pain during batting practice, and he could throw, giving him the green light.
