Two of the Dodgers’ best relievers missed part of the postseason with injuries, but general manager Brandon Gomes expects the pair to be healthy for Opening Day.
Gomes said on the final day of the Winter Meetings that the Dodgers are expecting left-hander Alex Vesia (intercostal injury) and right-hander Evan Phillips (shoulder) to be ready to pitch by Opening Day. However, they won’t know for sure until the pitchers get to camp and start throwing with more intensity.
