A day after lasting just 24 pitches in Game 1 of the National League Division Series, Mike Clevinger was removed from the Padres' active roster and replaced by Dan Altavilla, the team announced Wednesday.
Clevinger, who missed San Diego's wild card series against the Cardinals with right biceps tightness, threw only 10 of his 24 pitches in the strike zone, with three walks allowed. He was pulled after throwing two pitches in the second inning, with his last fastball clocking in at 91 mph—more than 5 mph slower than his first-inning fastball velocity.
Clevinger will now be unavailable for the Padres should they advance to the NLCS.
