The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled Luke Raley and optioned Darien Nuñez to Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Saturday’s game against the Colorado Rockies.
Raley gives the Dodgers much-needed depth on the position player front as Mookie Betts (right hip irritation) and Cody Bellinger (left hamstring tightness) are dealing with injury, Corey Seager has not yet returned and Max Muncy is on the second of three-day paternity leave.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts remains hopeful Bellinger will be in the lineup for the series finale against the Rockies. Betts isn’t expected to start until Tuesday, when the Dodgers begin a three-game set with the San Francisco Giants.
