The Los Angeles Dodgers rather effectively navigated a month’s worth of bullpen games after losing Dustin May to Tommy John surgery, and now need to do so twice more before the All-Star break.
L.A. added a fresh arm to their bullpen in the form Edwin Uceta, whom manager Dave Roberts said could throw upwards of 80 pitches if necessary. And despite only getting four innings out of Clayton Kershaw on Saturday because of the rain delay cutting his start short, Roberts was confident in the state of the Dodgers’ bullpen.
“I think we’re in a good spot,” he said.
