By Sunday morning, hours after Mike Bolsinger’s latest unsuccessful start, the Dodgers cleared out his locker and replaced his nameplate with one for Carlos Frias. The team recalled Frias from the minors and optioned Bolsinger to triple-A Oklahoma City after Bolsinger gave up five runs in 2 2/3 innings Saturday.
Frias serves as an emergency arm for a bullpen that has handled three consecutive nights of heavy work. Manager Dave Roberts indicated the team may not stick with a nine-man relief corps for very long. The team will likely option a reliever out on Monday to make room for Yasiel Puig as he returns from the disabled list.
