One day after losing Caleb Ferguson to injury, the Dodgers will be getting another reliever back. The team had been operating one player short of the roster limit with Joe Kelly serving out his suspension. Today, they will activate Kelly in time for the series finale against the Padres.
Kelly was activated off of the injured list last Thursday and immediately started serving his five-game suspension. Kelly got that suspension reduced from eight games after an incident you might have heard about by now involving the Astros. The Dodgers will immediately slide him into a bullpen that is in need of some help.
