In addition to being without several starters due to injury, the Los Angeles Dodgers currently are missing a few relievers as well. Among them are Scott Alexander and Garrett Cleavinger, who have been out for various lengths of time.
Alexander was placed on the 10-day injured list in July due to left shoulder inflammation, which marked his second stint this season. He initially was expected to only miss a short period, but being shut down from throwing caused a delay in returning.
As for Cleavinger, he was placed on the 10-day IL earlier this month with a right oblique strain.
