Dodgers Spring Training: Caleb Ferguson Being Built Up As Starter But Role For 2019 Season Still Undetermined

One of the more pleasant surprises for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2018 was the development of young pitcher Caleb Ferguson, who was called up well before was expected due to injuries.

The 22-year-old struggled a bit as a starter after joining the Dodgers, but then developed into a dominant reliever down the stretch of the season. Ferguson’s versatility left some question marks surrounding him going into this spring.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts addressed that uncertainty, explaining Ferguson is viewed as a starting pitcher for the time being.

“Caleb, along with a few other guys have that ability where we see him as a starter,” Roberts said.
