The Dodgers are getting some help back in their bullpen that they need. Caleb Ferguson made his long-awaited return to the mound on Monday night after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2020. Immediately after that, he was optioned to Triple-A to make room for fresh arms.
And while Ferguson will be back in a relief role, it’s not nearly as defined for David Price. He went onto the COVID injured list but has apparently been traveling with the team since Pittsburgh. But the Dodgers did not activate him, choosing instead to carry him along on the tax squad.
