released their American League Division Series roster on Tuesday, and three major names aren’t listed: DJ LeMahieu, Scott Effross and Oswald Peraza. Effross, who was expected to be a linchpin reliever for the team, is excluded because he needs Tommy John surgery. He’s just the latest in New York’s bullpen to be sidelined with an injury this season. Clay Holmes and Wandy Peralta are both returning for the ALDS series against the Guardians.

The infielder did participate in Monday’s workout, but Aaron Boone said LeMahieu looked “compromised.”
