The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially activated RHP Ryan Pepiot off the 60-day injured list, meaning he’s as close as ever to a return. Pepiot was immediately optioned to Triple-A, and RHP Tyson Miller was designated for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, per the team’s transaction log.
It’s been a weird year for Pepiot, who battled in spring training for an opportunity to make the Opening Day after Tony Gonsolin got hurt.
Pepiot ended up beating out Michael Grove and Andre Jackson for the job, however, in his final spring training appearance, he left with an oblique injury that ended up sidelining him for months.
