The Dodgers have been on a search for a fifth starter to keep the rotation afloat until pitchers return from injury. Frankie Montas was a likely candidate before reinjuring his rib, Mike Bolsinger and Nick Tepesch both struggled in their starts, Ross Stripling is just getting back in rhythm in the minors and Zach Lee is in the Seattle organization now.
Brock Stewart was about as far off anyone’s radar as possible to start the season.
