The Los Angeles Dodgers activated Darien Núñez off the injured list and optioned Zach McKinstry to Triple-A Oklahoma City minutes before first pitch of the series finale against the New York Mets.
Núñez was put on the IL on Aug. 7 without a designation, and manager Dave Roberts recently said he could not provide any specifics. That also applies to Joe Kelly, though only the left-hander was with the team in New York prior to being added to the active roster.
Welcoming Núñez back gives the Dodgers a fresh arm in what’s been a taxed bullpen of late.
