The Dodgers are calling up right-hander , reports . The club has a full 40-man roster and the righty is not yet on it, so a corresponding move will be required to add him. Salazar, 26, John Konchar Jersey signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers in the offseason after previously having spent his entire career in the Reds organization. He was able to make his major league debut last year with Cincinnati, allowing 11 earned runs in 12 1/3 innings. He struck out five opponents but also allowed 11 hits, gave out five walks and hit four batters. He was outrighted off the Reds roster in August and was able to elect minor league free agency at seasons end. The Dodgers clearly saw something they liked, perhaps the ability to generate ground balls. Salazar averaged over 93 miles per hour on both his four-seam fastball and his sinker, while also offering a slider and a changeup. He got grounders at a 51.1% clip in his brief time in the majors and even more than that in the minors last year. Salazar has made three Triple-A starts already this year, having thrown 15 2/3 innings with a 2.87 ERA. His 14.3% strikeout rate is nothing special but his 7.9% walk rate is fine while opponents have pounded the ball into the dirt at a 58.3% clip. The Dodgers pitching staff is getting a bit squeezed. They already opened the season with , , , , , and on the injured list. In recent days, and have joined them. The Dodgers have a four-man rotation of , , and but nonethele s are planning on two straight bullpen games today and tomorrow. Thats due to Millers recent IL stint and the plan to keep Yamamoto on a weekly schedule for now as he transfers from Japan to North America. Glasnow, Paxton and Stone pitched in the last three days and wont be available for the next two games either. With an off-day on Thursday, the club is trying to fight through the next two contests as best they can, with guys like , , and Salazar all being rotated through the roster either today or tomorrow. Pitchers who were already in the mix like and could be called upon to eat some innings as well. Taking all that into consideration, its po sible Salazar is slated for a short stay in the big leagues but he has a couple of options and could therefore be sent back to Triple-A without being exposed to waivers.
