After a dramatic extra-innings win over the Padres, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced the recall of Matt Sauer from Triple-A. The team will officially add Sauer to the roster by designating veteran José Ureña for assignment. Sauer, who made his MLB debut with the Royals before returning to the Yankees' farm system, has had a turbulent career, boasting low walk and high groundball rates but striking out less frequently. He is expected to pitch in a bullpen game due to the team's rotation injuries.
"Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed the team is set to recall pitcher Matt Sauer from Triple-A, designating José Ureña for assignment to add him to the roster."
"Sauer, initially drafted by the Yankees, had a short stint with the Royals after being picked in the Rule 5 draft, where he faced initial struggles."
"Despite having a high groundball rate of 49.2% and low walk rate of 3.8%, Sauer's overall strikeout percentage is relatively low at 16.7% this season."
