Subterms
When the Dodgers announced their roster for the NLDS, it was as expected; yet many people are upset right-handed Tony Gonsolin was left off the team. The final bullpen spots likely came down to Gonsolin, fellow rookie Dustin May, left-hander Caleb Ferguson, and right-hander Ross Stripling. The Dodgers elected to go with May and Stripling […] More
Even as the Dodgers won their seventh consecutive National League West division title with relative ease, the bullpen continues to be an area of concern heading into the final few weeks of the season. Before the season, left-hander Caleb Ferguson was expected to be a key member of the Dodgers’ bullpen. He had a strong […] More

On Sunday, the Dodgers optioned right-handed reliever Casey Sadler to make room on the active roster for Hyun-Jin Ryu. There has been a lot of skepticism regarding the decision since he has been one of their more reliable bullpen arms since being acquired.

Last season I wrote about how to build a playoff bullpen. I believe the front office absolutely failed in that mission in 2018. Ryan Madson and John Axford did not overwhelm any of us when they were acquired. Madson did well at the end of September and was good in both the NLDS and the […] More
The Dodgers have recalled left-handed reliever Zac Rosscup in addition to corner infielder Edwin Rios and have sent down both right-handed starter Tony Gonsolin and left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson. The Dodgers today recalled IF Edwin Ríos and selected the contract of LHP Zac Rosscup. To make room on the 25-man roster, the Dodgers optioned pitchers […] More
When Kenley Jansen plunked Kris Bryant on Saturday, it was pretty clear to many Dodger fans that Kenley didn’t quite “have it.” Giving up the home run to Rizzo just a few moments later didn’t surprise me. Based on what I saw on Twitter, a lot of Dodger fans saw the end result coming as […] More
The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed left-handed reliever Scott Alexander on the 10-day injured list with left forearm inflammation. Left-hander Caleb Ferguson was recalled to take Alexander’s place on the active roster. Alexander’s trip to the injured list is retroactive to June 8 so he is eligible to be activated on Tuesday, June 18. It […] More
Coming into the season, Caleb Ferguson was supposed to be a key piece for the Dodgers’ bullpen. However, things didn’t go as planned for the 22-year-old left-hander as he struggled, went to the injured list and ended up back in triple-A. In 16 2/3 innings this season, Ferguson pitched to a 5.94 ERA, 6.87 FIP, […] More
