Dodgers trade deadline acquisition hits IL as pitching staff curse looms large

The Los Angeles Dodgers thought they got one of the trade deadline's biggest steals, reuniting with old friend Brock Stewart, who has been putting together a truly dominant season while their rivals paid much higher prices for flashier names.

Unfortunately, that taste of victory was short-lived, as the club received news that has felt far too familiar recently. According to manager Dave Roberts, the 33-year-old righty is hitting the IL with shoulder inflammation.

For the Dodgers, this is a huge blow as Stewart served as their biggest acquisition in what was otherwise a quiet trade deadline.
