Faced with a season-long need for stability to their pitching staff, the Los Angeles Dodgers looked to turn back the clock with the minor-league signing of Andrew Heaney earlier this month. After struggling with the Pittsburgh Pirates this season, the return to the Dodgers' organization likely involved some hope from Heaney that the team could unlock his swing-and-miss profile as they did once before.
Upon his return to the Dodgers' organization, Heaney was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Heaney made his first start on Wednesday, and for Dodgers fans, he offered a reminder of the potential he could bring to the team's pitching staff before the end of the season.
