- Dodgers left-handed reliever Tony Cingrani, who has yet to play this season, will likely see his season come to an end, per The Athletic’s Pedro Moura. Cingrani will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder, which “probably” marks the end of his season, manager Dave Roberts told Moura. Currently on the 10-day injured list with shoulder soreness, Cingrani suffered a setback during his rehab assignment that required the club to shut down the 29-year-old. After undergoing an MRI, it’s been determined that the injury will require surgery, a disappointing and frustrating development for both Cingrani and the Dodgers, who acquired the southpaw from the Reds at the 2017 trade deadline. He has thus far been able to pitch in just 52 games for the Dodgers, and with Cingrani eligible for free agency at season’s end, he may have already appeared in his last game in Los Angeles.
- Third baseman Justin Turner will return to the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks, tweets J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California Media Group. His absence from Sunday’s game marks the fourth consecutive game that Turner is out of the lineup thanks to right hamstring tightness, and Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports that Turner’s injury is “a little more severe” than anticipated, but evidently the 34-year-old is healthy enough to play in tomorrow’s series opener in Phoenix.
- Catcher Austin Barnes, who recently landed on the injured list with a groin strain, is on track to return in time for Friday’s series opener against the Giants, tweets Castillo, who adds that Barnes is slated to make a pair of rehab appearances for the Dodgers’ Class A-Advanced affiliate before coming off the injured list late this week. Barnes has posted a solid .738 OPS in 40 games for the Dodgers this year, working in tandem with Russell Martin to form a serviceable catching combination for a first-place team.

Why is Cingrani on the 10 day IL if the Dodgers knew he would be out for a long stretch. Does the 60 day IL have a limited number of spots?
I think it was on Hope’s he wouldnt be done for the season.
Thanks!
I’ve seen other teams do this with serious injuries so I was wondering…..
I believe you can only place a player on the 60 day IL if your 40 man roster is full. The Dodgers isn’t there for no 60 day IL.
Thanks ramfan22!
Now it is inescapable that the Dodgers are in need of both a reliable lefty specialist and a quality setup arm.
Bullpen is their only glaring weak point. They could use multiple pieces.
alex colome…. is one i see the dodgers going after…. anyone else i don’t know….
Shane Greene is having a great season too
Sean Doolite and Alex Colomé would be ideal but knowing this team it will be Jake Deikman and Shawn Kelly or something
Don’t know that either the White Sox or the Nats are ready to throw in the towel on the season quite yet and I’m not totally sold on Doolittle (who I wonder if they’d want to trade anyway). But the Dodgers do have the luxury of a big lead in the division so that gives them some room to wait it out.
Really disappointed with Cingrani’s dodger tenture or lack there of. I wouldn’t mind seeing a Jake Diekman out there. He won’t cost an arm and a leg at this stage in his career. Maybe quietly go after Michael Givens if Hahn wants the world for Colombe.
The main problem is that Friedman doesn’t recognize the importance of a solid bullpen, and that will likely be the Achilles’ heel for the Dodgers again. It doesn’t help that he stupidly overpaid a scrub like Joe Kelly.
He is going to have to change that this year since its staring them right in the face. Its clear as day this is a World Series caliber team with an elite rotation and lineup. They dont need help anywhere but the pen. Past 2 years they had to get Machado and Darvish. If there is a splash this year it will be in the pen.
