The Dodgers’ bullpen has had mixed results so far this season. The one thing they do not lack is options. With too many starting pitchers, the Dodgers currently have Julio Urias and Ross Stripling in their bullpen. Those two extra spots have put Caleb Ferguson’s bullpen spot in question when he is ready to return from the IL.
Ferguson was placed on the IL due to an oblique injury although the injury came at an interesting time when it was seemingly a choice between keeping Yimi Garcia or optioning Ferguson to the minor leagues. Yimi Garcia is out of options and he has been pitching very well as of late.
