The Los Angeles Dodgers activated relief pitchers John Axford and Tony Cingrani from the disabled list and recalled Yimi Garcia from High-A Rancho Cucamonga ahead of Monday’s series opener with the Colorado Rockies. The moves bring the Dodgers active roster to 39 players.
Both pitchers return after joining High-A Rancho Cucamonga for a rehab assignment that was all of one appearance. Axford, Cingrani and Garcia each pitched in Game 3 of the California League championship series that the Quakes won.
Axford retired two of four batters faced, allowing one run as he gave up a double, issued a walk and threw a wild pitch.
