On Thursday evening, it was announced that the Dodgers would be calling up Kyle Garlick in time for Friday’s series opener against the Cincinnati Reds. For Garlick, this will be his first big league call-up and whenever he gets into a game this weekend, it will be his big league debut. Kyle is a southern California native as he is from Chino Hills, was born in La Habra, and went to Cal Poly Pomona.
Kyle played three seasons of college baseball with the Oregon Ducks but left Oregon after his junior season due to his Mother’s battle with breast cancer.
