Cleveland Guardians reliever Nick Sandlin will miss the rest of the postseason with a back strain.
He was replaced on the playoff roster Monday by fellow right-hander Bryan Shaw.
The Guardians open the American League Division Series on Tuesday against the host New York Yankees.
Sandlin, 25, was 5-2 with a 2.25 ERA in 46 appearances out of the bullpen during the regular season.
He was removed from Game 2 of the wild-card series win against Tampa Bay on Saturday after facing three batters.
Shaw, 34, was 6-2 with a 5.40 ERA and one save in 60 games (two starts) with the Guardians in 2022.
