While Pedro Baez had shown recent improvement, he was the odd man out on Wednesday when the Los Angeles Dodgers officially called up Caleb Ferguson for his MLB debut. Baez was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in order to create room for Ferguson on the active roster.
Although the Dodgers bullpen has largely been a strongpoint for the team under manager Dave Roberts, Baez has often been a polarizing member of the group. He’s remained one of Roberts’ most-used and most-trusted options, even if results suggested otherwise.
Those struggles led to Baez often drawing the ire of the fanbase.
