The Los Angeles Dodgers’ bullpen feels like a sinking yacht. Manager Dave Roberts and Los Angeles’ leadership are exhausting every possible idea to keep the ‘pen afloat, including activating Roki Sasaki, who threw a scoreless seventh inning of relief on Wednesday in a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Less glamorous moves for the Dodgers have included the re-signing of Matt Sauer, despite the previously DFA’d Sauer owning a 6.37 ERA with Los Angeles this season in 10 appearances (29 2/3 innings).
If the Dodgers appear not-so-quietly desperate about their bullpen, it’s because they are.
