The Los Angeles Dodgers again appear close to getting near full health with the likes of Corey Knebel, Jimmy Nelson and Corey Seager are nearing returns from their respective injuries.
Knebel has been out since April 24 because of a right lat strain that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts forecasted would keep him out multiple months. The right-hander then was transferred to the 60-day IL on May 2.
Knebel pitched in a simulated game on Thursday, his second of the week, and now is on the verge of joining a Minor League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.
