Tarik Skubal Away From Team as Dodgers Call Up Emmet Sheehan in Massive 4-Player Roster Move

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a four-player roster shakeup ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the San Francisco Giants, recalling right-handers Emmet Sheehan and Kyle Hurt from Triple-A. Sheehan is expected to handle bulk innings on Sunday as LA looks to manage its bullpen during the final week of the regular season. Corresponding moves include placing left-hander Tarik Skubal on the bereavement list, keeping him away from the team for “a couple days,” according to manager Dave Roberts, and optioning right-hander Seth Halvorsen. Sheehan, recently demoted after strong MLB starts, allowed one run over 11.2 innings with 15 strikeouts.
