Vesia was one of the few Dodgers pitchers who had avoided the injured list until now. Only has made more appearances than Vesia, who has gotten into 59 contests. He owns a 2.75 earned run average while striking out 33% of opponents acro s 52 1/3 frames. Vesia has collected four saves and recorded a career-best 21 holds. Its his second straight excellent season. The southpaw allowed only 1.76 earned runs per nine behind a matching 33% strikeout rate over 67 appearances last year. Between that performance and injuries to and , Vesia has been Dave Roberts most trusted reliever of late. He has pitched in the highest-leverage situations of any L.A. bullpen arm in the second half. Scott and Yates recently returned to join and in the late innings. Vesias injury isnt quite as significant for the Dodgers as it wouldve been a week or two ago. Still, its suboptimal to lose one of their best relievers for at least two weeks as they cling to a one-game lead on San Diego in the NL West. David Bednar Jersey
