The Dodgers have designated lefty Scott Elbert for assignment, according to the MLB transactions page. Elbert, 28, had been rehabbing from Tommy John surgery (and subsequent toe injury) on the 60-day DL.
Elbert was a major contributor for the Dodgers over 2011-12, throwing 66 innings of 2.32 ERA ball (with 8.6 K/9 against 3.7 BB/9) over that span. But he has thrown only 20 frames over the last two years, all in the minors. He owns a 4.26 ERA in 12 2/3 innings this year, striking out 9.2 and walking 5.0 runners per nine.
Darren Dreifort 2.0. Good luck Scott Elbert.
Interesting; Barney took the 40th spot yesterday…my guess they want to sneak him through as he comes off the 60 day…
I think Elbert could be a weapon. He hasn’t thrown in 2 years. But it also means the NL West hasn’t had any research done on him in 2 years. If he can work this into his advantage, he could be a much needed weapon in the Dodger pen. It will be interesting. I think there are a lot of people who are rooting for him.
We need some bullpen help everytime i see wilson in the 8 i see runners on all the time. Im surprise brandon league is pitching this well.
Trade going down? No mention of a corresponding move.
Most likely to make room for Darwin Barney tomorrow
