The Los Angeles Dodgers reinstated Victor Gonzalez from the 10-day injured list and optioned Mitch White to Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to their series opener against the New York Mets.
Gonzalez is back after being sidelined Aug. 6 due to right knee inflammation. He started one game on a rehab assignment for Low-A Rancho Cucamonga, allowing three runs and recording just one out.
“I think he pitched better than the line score. Feels good, which is most important,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of the southpaw.
The IL stint was the second of the season for Gonzalez, who previously missed nearly two weeks in July because of left plantar fasciitis.
