SAN DIEGO — The Atlanta Braves have arrived at Petco Park for the National League Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres.

Ahead of Game 1 on Tuesday night, manager Brian Snitker and the team unveiled their complete roster for the series. A notable absence? All-Star pitcher Chris Sale.

General manager Alex Anthopoulos announced on Monday that Sale was scratched from their doubleheader against the Mets for back spasms. He indicated that Sale may not be available to pitch against the Padres.

That appears to be the case with Sale left off the wild card roster. The Braves added Bryce Elder and AJ Smith-Shawver.

Here’s a look at the roster.

Atlanta must win at least two of the next three games to advance to the NLDS.

Game 1 is set for 8:38 p.m. first pitch.
