Dodgers Get Good News on RHP Yency Almonte
The Dodgers had a little bit of a scare this past week. Reliever Yency Almonte hit the injured list with what the team was calling right elbow tightness. They had an MRI scheduled for him this week to ensure that there was not a deeper issue, but even Almonte didn’t think anything was wrong.
This week, they got some good news on the reliever. Almonte said ahead of the Dodgers game on Tuesday night that the MRI results came back clean. That’s big news for the team and for him because Almonte has definitely been someone they’ve leaned on.
He said on Tuesday that he will start throwing at a light intensity and that the Dodgers are being cautious.
Yency Almonte said his MRI came back clean. He’ll throw today at a lighter intensity and they’re just being cautious with him.

The Dodgers and their fans have not loved Coors Field. It seems like anytime they visit the Mile High City, the wheels fall off and someone gets hurt. But that didn’t stop Tony Gonsolin from saying that it’s one of his favorite parks to visit. That’s pretty wild for a pitcher to say, given that the ball soars out of the stadium.
