While the Los Angeles Dodgers have recently welcomed back the likes of Cody Bellinger, Zach Mckinstry, AJ Pollock and Jimmy Nelson, multiple relief pitchers — including Garrett Cleavinger — remain on the 10-day injured list.
The southpaw had been at Camelback Ranch while recovering from left forearm inflammation, but joined Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday to begin a rehab assignment. Cleavinger was put on the IL on May 18.
He appeared in the second game of Oklahoma City’s doubleheader, which was a makeup of last Saturday’s contest that was postponed due to rain. Cleavinger issued a walk, recorded one strikeout and faced the minimum in his lone inning of work.
