Legendary former MLB player and manager Dusty Baker is returning to broadcasting.

Baker will be joining TBS’ MLB studio coverage primarily for the playoffs but also for occasional regular-season spots, The Post has learned.

The TBS studio show includes analysts Pedro Martinez, Jimmy Rollins and Curtis Granderson and has several hosts, including Lauren Shehadi.

TBS, which has all the ALDS and ALCS games this season, is under the Turner Sports / Warner Bros. Discovery umbrella.

A WBD Sports spokesperson could not be immediately reached for comment.

Baker was a World Series champion both as a player — in 1981 with the Dodgers — and as the manager of the Astros in 2022.
