Tommy Kahnle Not Making Late Return To Dodgers Bullpen

One focus for the Los Angeles Dodgers this past offseason was addressing their bullpen, which included the signing of Tommy Kahnle to a two-year contract.

The right-hander reportedly chose to sign with L.A. over the Boston Red Sox, who were believed to have offered contract similar to the $4.75 million deal he signed. Kahnle’s contract additionally included a signing bonus and incentives for appearances.

However, the addition appeared to be more of a play for the 2022 season as he was recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Kahnle did express a desire to return late this season, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts ruled out the possibility, per Bill Plunkett of the Southern California News Group:

Roberts said Saturday that Kahnle’s rehab timetable had changed in the spring.
