LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Tuesday activated relief pitcher Casey Fien from the disabled list before their series against the Phillies, and optioned pitcher Brock Stewart to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Fien was placed on the disabled list on July 19 with right elbow tendonitis, and the right-hander missed 24 games. He pitched in four games on a minor league rehab assignment, totaling five innings between the Arizona Rookie League and Class-A Rancho Cucamonga, including back-to-back games for the Quakes on Thursday and Friday.
Stewart was up as long man insurance on Sunday, and was very much needed, throwing three innings in relief of starter Brett Anderson, who exited after one inning with a mild left wrist sprain.
