LOS ANGELES -- We had a pretty good idea that Tuesday's Dodgers starter was someone who pitched for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, but it wasn't Scott Baker. a Instead, the Dodgers will call on David Huff to start against the Mariners on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.
Huff, non-roster invitee to spring training signed to a minor league contract on January 9, was told of the news on Saturday and flew to Los Angeles on Sunday. The Dodgers will officially add Huff to the 40-man roster on Tuesday.
Though mentioned during spring training as a possible candidate for this start, the first time the Dodgers need a fifth starter, Huff wasn't thinking about that as a possibility when he was told he didn't make the opening day roster.
