The biggest questions leading up to this series for the Padres surrounded the health of Mike Clevinger and Dinelson Lamet. We have our answers: Clevinger is on the roster, and he’ll start game one, while Lamet will not appear in the NLDS.

The other changes are Allen and prospect Weathers making the roster over Dan Altavilla, Greg Garcia, and Jorge Mateo. Allen is a San Diego native who provides speed and defensive depth in the outfield. Weathers, meanwhile, has yet to make his major league debut – or even pitch above Single-A. The 20-year-old southpaw was San Diego’s #10th ranked prospect on Baseball America’s midseason report. Campusano (#5), Morejon (#7), and Patiño (#2) also appear on both the Padres’ top prospects list and their NLDS roster.
