The last thing the Dodgers need right now is another injury to a pitcher. With so many guys already down with ailments, losing another arm in the bullpen would’ve made the road trip they are on very difficult.
So when Garrett Cleavinger took a hot shot up the middle off of his pitching arm on Wednesday, everyone held their breath. Cleavinger recovered to make the play at first, though it was later overturned. The Dodgers brought in Dennis Santana for the final out in that win.
On Thursday afternoon, Dave Roberts gave an update on Cleavinger.
