LOS ANGELES (AP) — Veteran closer Craig Kimbrel has been left off the Los Angeles Dodgers’ roster for their National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres. Kimbrel was demoted from his closer’s role two weeks ago after struggling all season as the replacement for veteran Kenley Jansen, who signed with Atlanta in the offseason. Kimbrel had 22 saves this season and has 394 in his career, the most among active pitchers. Veteran left-hander David Price was also left off the Dodgers’ roster. There were no surprises on the Padres’ roster. Game 1 is Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.
