LOS ANGELES -- Struggling starter Kenta Maeda will go to the bullpen to make room for the return of left-hander Alex Wood from the disabled list, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced on Wednesday.
Wood will start on Saturday, with Hyun-Jin Ryu getting the call on Sunday. Maeda will be available for long relief. Wood, the National League Pitcher of the Month for May, went on the DL on May 27 with inflammation in the SC joint near his sternum.
"This is temporary for Kenta. We need him to get back on track and pitch well," said Roberts.
