The return of Pedro Baez is not something that any Dodgers fans had on their bingo card for the 2022 season. But with their issues on the pitching staff and Baez being designated for assignment by the Astros at the end of April, it felt like an absolute certainty that he would be back.
The Dodgers proceeded to sign him to a minor-league deal just a few weeks later. But Baez is working his way back from a series of issues he dealt with in Houston. A shoulder issue limited him to just 7 total games with the Astros after signing a $12.
