The only surprise on the roster for some fans is probably that Mike Clevinger didn’t make the roster. Craig Stammen and Nabil Crismatt obviously weren’t going to make it, as they each threw multiple innings on Wednesday.

While Clevinger traveled to New York after testing negative for COVID, the Padres believe they have enough pitching for three games and leaving Clevinger off the roster allows them to save him for a potential NLDS Game 1, which would take place at Dodger Stadium next week.

All 14 position players who were on the roster to end the regular season made the postseason roster.
