The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to add bullpen help ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline.
USA Today MLB insider Bob Nightengale flatly told Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain on Tuesday’s episode of Dodgers Dougout Live: “I’d be stunned if they don’t come away from the deadline with at least one late-inning reliever.”
One of the top relievers expected to be moved is St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Ryan Helsley. The 31-year-old is a two-time All-Star on an expiring contract, and likely to be dealt on a Cardinals team that is 3.5 games back of the third and final Wild Card spot in the National League.
