The Dodgers must be getting an entire lot of assist for his or her pitching employees within the subsequent two weeks or so. Clayton Kershaw must be coming off of the injured listing this weekend after experiencing ache in his again earlier in Could. And Andrew Heaney is presently out on a rehab project with Triple-A OKC.
Nevertheless it seems like Heaney will want a couple of extra rehab begins earlier than he can get again to the large league squad. Heaney threw a bullpen with the Oklahoma Metropolis Dodgers this week in preparation for his begin later within the week.
Dave Robers added earlier than the sport on Tuesday night time that Heaney would get 2 extra rehab begins. Meaning the Dodgers might be with out him for nearly 2 extra weeks, assuming every part goes in line with plan.
“Andrew, I believe he threw a ‘pen [Tuesday] in OKC. His subsequent flip, I believe is Thursday or Friday. It’s going to be 4 innings; 4 and 60 (pitches). After that, he’ll do one other one at 5 innings, and we’ll see the place we’re at after that third one.”
The Dodgers completely want the assist in their beginning rotation proper now. The bullpen has been extremely taxed and wishes Mitch White or Tyler Anderson again on the market. They’ll get that this week when Kershaw will get activated.

However when Heaney is able to go, he’ll present additional depth. That might push Anderson to the bullpen or create a scenario the place the Dodgers go along with a 6-man rotation. There actually is not any flawed reply.
