LOS ANGELES (AP) — Left-hander Alex Vesia, right-hander Brusdar Graterol and infielder Miguel Rojas were added to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series roster before Friday’s opener and left-hander Nestor Cortes was restored by the New York Yankees. Outfielder Kevin Kiermaier and right-handers Evan Phillips and Edgardo Henriquez were dropped by the Dodgers and infielder Jon Berti by the Yankees. Vesia was left off the NL Championship Series roster after an intercostal injury while warming up for Game 5 of the NL Division Series against San Diego on Oct. 11.
