Seager dropped from Dodgers’ NLCS roster due to back injuryBy GREG BEACHAM

LOS ANGELES (AP) Shortstop Corey Seager has been left off the Los Angeles Dodgers’ roster for the NL Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs.

The Dodgers announced Seager’s surprise omission due to a back injury on Saturday, several hours before Game 1 at Dodger Stadium.

Los Angeles also dropped reliever Pedro Baez from its roster. Infielder Charlie Culberson and outfielder Joc Pederson were added.

Chicago made only one change from the last playoff round, adding reliever Hector Rondon and removing reliever Justin Wilson.

Seager complained of back soreness during the Dodgers’ NL Division Series clincher in Arizona on Monday, and 2016 NL Rookie of the Year didn’t participate in team workouts this week. Still, manager Dave Roberts said Friday that he was very optimistic that Seager would play in the NLCS.
