Just because someone may have not have made the playoff roster doesn't mean you won't see them, however. MLB rules allow for six players to suit up as extras in the dugout during the playoffs. For the Brewers, they are RHP Ben Sheets, OF Gabe Kapler, 3B Russell Branyan, C Vinny Rottino, RHP David Riske, and UTIL Joe Dillon.
Guys like Alcides Escobar, Tim Dillard, and Mark DeFelice will also travel with the team, just not in uniform. Todd Coffey decided to ask to join the Brewers for the playoffs even though he is ineligible to play, and his wish was granted.
Meanwhile, Angel Salome has traveled to Arizona for fall ball, and Mike Lamb chose to go home to his wife, who is expecting.
And as reader Jonk pointed out, this is the roster for the NLDS. Should the Brewers advance, changes could be made at that time.
Twenty-three hours until first pitch.

It should be noted that this is not a "playoff roster" but rather the Divisional series roster. If the Brewers manage to advance to the NLCS, they can re-arrange the roster at that time.
Also, both here and at the JS Online article, it says 12 pitchers are rostered but just 11 are listed. I assume Guillermo Mota is the missing man.
Alright, well, I guess you did note (though not explicitly) that this is the divisional series roster. My bad.
