The Dutch baseball federation reports that Isenia is out with an injury to his left elbow sustained during the second game against Japan. Somehow I managed to miss that while I was watching the entire game

My bad everybody.

He wasn’t on the original roster because he wasn’t sure how well he would recover from heart surgery.
2. It is allowed, but only between rounds (just like it is in the MLB playoffs).
3. Good question.

Who would have to be dropped from the roster to accommodate his inclusion?

1. Why only the final game? we could have used him before.
2. Is it even allowed within the rules of WBC?
