LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers added a relatively fresh arm to their bullpen, recalling Daniel Coulombe from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and optioning outfielder Chris Heisey back to Triple-A before Thursday's series finale against the Rangers.
This is the fourth major league stint this season for the southpaw Coulombe, who threw 24 pitches for OKC on Wednesday night.
The Dodgers had only six pitchers in the bullpen on Wednesday and an 11-man pitching staff after spending most of the year with either 12 or 13 pitchers. Manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that another reliever would be added, even though Dodgers starters have helped out by averaging 6.
