PHILADELPHIA -- In the wake of Tuesday night's marathon 16-inning loss to the Phillies, the Dodgers called in pitching reinforcements for Wednesday's series finale.
As planned, Walker Buehler was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start. To make room, Los Angeles optioned reliever Dylan Floro, who pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings Tuesday night.
The club also activated reliever Pedro Baez, who has been out since June 2 with right biceps tendinits, from the disabled list. Baez landed 30 minutes before game time; he had been on a rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City and his return was accelerated by Tuesday's extra-innings affair.
