Mike Clevinger Removed from Padres' NLDS Roster Because of Elbow Injury

The San Diego Padres announced that right-handed pitcher Dan Altavilla has replaced starting pitcher Mike Clevinger on their 28-man National League Division Series roster because of an injury.

Clevinger started Game 1 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. After pitching one shutout inning, the right-hander left in the second inning with a trainer after experiencing elbow discomfort.

Padres manager Jayce Tingler and Clevinger both explained more after the game, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic:

Per Lin, Clevinger must also miss the National League Championship Series should the Padres get that far.
