The Los Angeles Dodgers’ bullpen woes are well documented at this point. They just lost their fifth straight game, with all five losses decided in the seventh inning or later. Their bullpen has collapsed, allowing nine runs in the ninth inning alone during that span.
At least some of those results would most likely be different if Kenley Jansen had not been put on the disabled list after an irregular heartbeat in Colorado over the weekend.
Since then, the Dodgers have not been able to find an adequate replacement, with Scott Alexander, Zac Rosscup, Dylan Floro and Kenta Maeda all faltering in the “closer by committee” role.
