Dodgers Make Roster Move, Bring Back Injured Pitcher Ahead of Series Finale vs Rockies

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated right-handed pitcher Luis Garcia ahead of Thursday’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies.

In order to make room on the roster, the Dodgers optioned right-hander Will Klein to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Garcia joined the team in Colorado, so his activation was expected as manager Dave Roberts confirmed that would be the case. The right-hander was dealing with a right-adductor strain, which landed him on the 15-day injured list.

He made one rehab start with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on June 22, where he tossed a scoreless inning in nine pitches.

The Dodgers signed Garcia to minor league deal in February.
