Padres make 1 change for NL Division Series roster

LOS ANGELES -- The Padres unveiled their National League Division Series roster on Tuesday morning, making only one change from the group that won the NL Wild Card Series against the Mets.
Game 1 starter Mike Clevinger was added to that roster, with utility man Brandon Dixon giving way on the bench -- a move that was largely expected. The bullpen remains unchanged.
Dixon had been viewed exclusively as a pinch-hit bat. But the Padres’ lineup construction doesn’t lend itself to many substitutions, and they didn’t use a pinch-hitter across their three Wild Card Series games in New York.
