Dodgers recall Sheehan to face Giants, put Skubal on bereavement, hope to have Ohtani back soon
The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled pitcher Emmet Sheehan for their series finale against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Sheehan is expected to handle most of the pitching duties in that game. The move was part of a series of roster adjustments made by the Dodgers. Other moves included recalling Kyle Hurt to the major league roster, placing Tarik Skubal on the bereavement list, and optioning Seth Halvorsen to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
In a separate development, the Dodgers' right fielder Kyle Tucker will sit out the game due to a precautionary day off for an injured knee. Manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in Sheehan's ability to help the team secure a sweep of the Giants series. The Dodgers are hopeful that Shohei Ohtani will be ready to return soon after his brief stint on the injured list.
Ohtani is currently on the 15-day injured list due to right biceps inflammation and left knee soreness.
