Right-hander Mike Clevinger is on the 28-player roster for the San Diego Padres for the NL Division Series and starting Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers after missing the first round of the playoffs. While Clevinger was among the 15 pitchers on the Padres roster released Tuesday, fellow starter Dinelson Lamet was again left off because of injury. Right-handed reliever Dylan Floro (3-0, 2.59 ERA) was the pitcher added for the longer NLDS. Keibert Ruiz, a third catcher, isn’t on the NLDS roster after being active but not playing against the Brewers. The Padres last week became the first team to use eight or more pitchers in three consecutive playoff games.
