Dodgers Roster News: RHP Emmet Sheehan Optioned, LHP Ryan Yarbrough Activated

The rotation of arms is starting up the Dodgers’ starting pitchers.

After acquiring left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough from the Kansas City Royals there was an abundance of starting arms for the team out of Chavez Ravine.

While Yarbrough has been used as a starter and reliever before in his career, the Dodgers may have narrowed down his role by optioning rookie pitcher Emmet Sheehan.

Yarbrough will most likely look to fill in the rotation spot left by Sheehan and Michael Grove. The current rotation looks like this:

  1. Julio Urias
  2. Tony Gonsolin
  3. Lance Lynn
  4. Bobby Miller
  5. Ryan Yarbrough

Barring the return of pitchers like Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler, and Ryan Pepiot, the Dodgers have four good veteran pitchers with a lot of innings and a budding rookie star-in-the-making.
