The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Garrett Cleavinger on the 10-day injured list due to left forearm inflammation and recalled Alex Vesia from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Tuesday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Cleavinger’s IL stint is retroactive to Monday.
The left-hander last pitched over the weekend against the Miami Marlins, issuing a walk and recording two outs. On the season Cleavinger is 1-3 with a 4.50 ERA in eight games.
Cleavinger previously had a brush with injury when he was struck by a line-drive comebacker in the left triceps. He dealt with some soreness and didn’t appear in the next two games but avoided a stint on the IL.
