Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Brock Stewart is being placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, manager Dave Roberts told reporters Tuesday.
Roberts said he believes that the team caught this situation early. Stewart last appeared in a game on Aug. 9 vs. Toronto, tossing a scoreless inning. He’ll undergo testing on Wednesday, per Roberts.
Stewart, who was drafted by the Dodgers in 2014, returned to the organization as a trade-deadline acquisition from the Minnesota Twins. He’s made four appearances for the Dodgers, allowing two earned runs over 3 2/3 innings.
The right-handed pitcher has posted a 2.63 ERA over a career-high 37.2 innings this season while making a career-high 43 appearances, 15 more than he’s made in any prior season.
The Athletic reported that RHP Edgardo Henriquez (1.59 ERA over 5.2 career major-league innings) has joined the Dodgers in Anaheim to take Stewart’s roster spot for Wednesday’s cross-city matchup with the Angels.
