The Kansas City Royals revealed their roster for the American League Division Series on Thursday morning, with manager Ned Yost electing to leave veteran right-hander Jeremy Guthrie off his 25-man crew.

Guthrie's omission was hardly unexpected, though, as the veteran right-hander stumbled to an 5.95 ERA over 24 starts and six relief appearances this season.
