ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers have added left-hander Alex Wood as an extra pitcher for the National League Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers also have back infielder Edwin Rios after he missed the last round with a groin injury. Wood missed a month of the shortened season because of a shoulder injury. Los Angeles is going with 15 pitchers, after having 14 in the NL Division Series against San Diego. Speedy outfielder Terrance Gore was left off the NLCS roster. Rios replaces Gavin Lux, who got only one at-bat against the Padres.
