When the Dodgers announced that a spot starter would be needed for today’s game, there was speculation that Tony Gonsolin would get called up to make his first big league start. I even broke down the possible candidates to start in place of Hyun-Jin Ryu and figured that the Dodgers would call up a starter since they have two open forty man roster spots.
Instead, the Dodgers will go with Caleb Ferguson who last pitched on Tuesday against the Cardinals. Caleb’s pitch count was worked up in the spring but during the season he has been a one-inning reliever.
