LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers minor league pitcher Jharel Cotton got the call on Friday, when Double-A Tulsa manager Razor Shines told the right-hander he was promoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City. If Cotton keeps up his breakout season, it might not be the last such meeting he has in 2015.
"He told me I'm going to Triple-A to relieve out of the pen, and hopefully the Dodgers like what they see," Cotton said. "It's great to know that."
The promotion to Triple-A was well earned for Cotton, the Dodgers' 20th-round pick in 2012.
Cotton, 23, was 5-2 with a 2.
