The Dodgers and Padres are likely both going to need a few reinforcements for tonight’s game. Following a 16-inning marathon game in which the 2 teams combined to use 19 pitchers, Los Angeles had to make a few moves to add arms into the mix.
The Dodgers already activated Mookie Betts before the game, but they weren’t done there. They also recalled LHP Darien Nunez to be available out of the bullpen tonight behind Max Scherzer on Thursday. Nunez last appeared in a game with Los Angeles on August 15th i New York.

The hope is that Scherzer can pitch most of the game and give the Dodgers bullpen a break.
