Andrew Friedman acknowledges that injuries forced the promotions of Gavin Stone and Bobby Miller sooner than expected and the Dodgers might have to look outside for pitching help.
. Right-hander Tayler Scott was returned to Triple-A Oklahoma City without making an appearance with the Dodgers this week.“Yeah, that was the one thing I didn’t do at home,” he said. “I haven’t thrown bullpens before . It’s not a big deal.”
Over his past two starts, Kershaw has given up six runs on 12 hits and four walks in just 7⅔ innings, failing to pitch more than four innings in back-to-back starts for the first time since his rookie season in 2008.Kershaw had been dealing with “body fatigue.”“I talked to Clayton a little bit today. He certainly feels much better than he did the last couple starts,” Roberts said. “There was some kind of overall body fatigue. The ball wasn’t coming out well.
The Dodgers claimed right-hander Zack Burdi off waivers from the Rays on Friday. Burdi was a college roommate of Dodgers catcher Will Smith at Louisville and both were taken in the first round of the 2016 draft. Burdi went six spots ahead of Smith, 26th overall to the Chicago White Sox. Burdi, 28, has a total of 21⅓ innings in the big leagues with the White Sox, Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay. He was designated for assignment by the Rays earlier this week.
“Really good fastball-slider combo,” Friedman said. “Obviously our pitching depth has been depleted some so it helps reset that depth for us. It’s a talented arm that we feel has a chance at some point this year to help us.”
