It might be hard to believe, but the Los Angeles Dodgers have used a whopping 16 pitchers in relief roles already this year. If you would have told any fan in the preseason that arms like Mike Kickham, Alex Vesia, and Edwin Uceta would throw in the major league bullpen before the calendar turned to June, chances are they would have been extremely skeptical.
As it stands, the team still has 13 players on the injured list, eight of them being pitchers. Surprisingly, five of those eight pitchers are on the 60-day IL.
