Before August, right-handed reliever Yency Almonte was an integral part of the Dodger bullpen. Early in August, Almonte suffered a knee injury, which has sidelined him ever since. There still is a slim possibility of him returning this season, but it’s unlikely. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts addressed the media about Almonte on Monday.
“It’s a longer shot for the regular season,” Roberts said. “It’s possible. But there’s a still lot of baseball to be played, talking about the postseason. So I think the main thing for Yency is just trying to get healthy and then when he’s healthy and feels like he can get major league hitters out, we’ll just kind of see and hope the timeline fits for him.
