On a Dodgers Nation ballot, 73.7 % needed the Dodgers to enhance their bullpen.
Not like within the current previous when the Dodgers have one of the best bullpen within the Main Leagues, throughout the 2023 season, the Dodgers’ bullpen have the third worst within the Nationwide League. It has solely twenty saves. True, the highly effective Dodger offense generally creates such a big lead that the bullpen doesn’t have a possibility to earn a save.
However, the Dodger bullpen has toiled, notably in early June. Solely Evan Phillips and Shelby Miller, who’s at present on the IL with a neck concern, have carried out as much as expectations.
Whereas the Dodger bullpen has the fifth most strikeouts within the Nationwide League, it appears to followers the relievers don’t blow away the opposition, particularly in huge spots of the sport. Brusdar Graterol is the one Dodger reliever who can attain triple digits, however he doesn’t miss bats. It appears each good opposition has at the least a reliever who has an unhittable fastball that reaches digits and has motion. Dodger followers are jealous.
Friday, the Dodgers activated Daniel Hudson, and he ought to assist to solidify the bullpen. Earlier than tearing his ACL final June towards the Atlanta Braves, Hudson carried out effectively as a high-leverage reliever. The Dodger entrance workplace needs to evaluate which relievers are good inside their group earlier than making a commerce.
