Dodgers' Curtis Granderson left off World Series roster
Curtis Granderson, who has played in 57 playoff games and two World Series, won't be on the Los Angeles Dodgers World Series roster, the team announced Tuesday.
Rosters for both teams were announced with the Astros keeping their roster the same, but the Dodgers made a few changes.
The veteran outfielder has struggled this postseason, going 1-for-15 in six games, and has struck out eight times.

Corey Seager was left off the Dodgers’ roster for the National League Championship Series because of a lower back sprain suffered while sliding in the final game of the Dodgers’ three-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL Division Series. He received an epidural injection and has worked his way back to the roster.
The Dodgers also added pitcher Brandon McCarthy, who will be making his first postseason appearance. A 12-year veteran who has pitched for seven teams, McCarthy was 6-4 with a 3.98 ERA this season.
