Dodgers left-hander Tony Cingrani will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder, manager Dave Roberts announced Sunday. Roberts said the procedure will “probably” end Cingrani’s season, which never got off to much of a start.
“It’s a decision that he and the docs decided was the best course of action for the short term and the long term,” Roberts said.
Without Cingrani, the Dodgers have carried Caleb Ferguson, Scott Alexander and Julio Urias as left-handed options in their bullpen most of the season. Ferguson, however, was demoted to triple-A last week, leaving the Dodgers with two left-handers. He’s struck out the four batters he’s faced in two outings since joining Oklahoma City.
“We're going to give it another day and that's just more of how we're playing, guys are playing,” Roberts said. “To get those guys to continue to go and not putting him in harm's way at all.”Austin Barnes will play two games for Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday and Wednesday before he is activated from the injured list Friday, Roberts said. Barnes has been on the injured list since Monday with a left groin strain he sustained the previous day in Pittsburgh.
“Most important [thing] is to get Will regular at-bats,” Roberts said. “He was a September call-up in triple-A last year. [He] didn't perform well, off to a great start this year and just to continue to get to finishing school. But for him to get an opportunity this time and play well and to get his feet wet at the big league level is a great thing.”
