On the day after Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts said he believed it was “ridiculous” that Dodgers fans had booed Pedro Baez, the manager said the embattled reliever would retain a prominent place in the Dodgers bullpen.
“I can assure you he is going to pitch big innings for us, from now until the end of the season,” Roberts said.
As the Dodgers prepare a playoff roster, Baez and Brandon Morrow appear to be the Dodgers’ primary setup men.
Baez has a career-best 2.53 earned-run average, ranking seventh among National League setup men with at least 50 innings.
