SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Having spent more time on the mend than on the mound over the past five years, newly signed Dodgers right-hander J.T. Chargois said he was already counting his blessings Monday, when he threw his first bullpen session since being claimed off waivers Friday.

Chargois, 27, was a top prospect for the Twins when they drafted him in the second round in 2012, but he soon fell victim to arm troubles. He had Tommy John surgery in '13, missed '14 as he recovered and, after healthy '15 and '16 seasons, was limited to two Minor League appearances in '17 as he dealt with more elbow problems.
