Dodgers shut down reliever Henriquez for rest of regular season
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-hander Edgardo Henriquez on the 15-day injured list with low back discomfort, ending his regular season. Bobby Miller was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take his roster spot. Henriquez had become a reliable bullpen option in his first full major league year.
The Dodgers’ bullpen will finish the regular season without Edgardo Henriquez, who was placed on the 15-day injured list due to low back discomfort. The move officially ends his first full major league campaign, during which he had emerged as a dependable relief arm for Los Angeles. To fill his roster spot, the club recalled right-hander Bobby Miller from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Miller’s return adds depth as the team heads into the final stretch, though Henriquez’s absence removes a trusted late-inning option from the active pitching staff.
This roster move could affect the Dodgers’ bullpen stability in the closing weeks, potentially influencing playoff seeding and postseason readiness. Fans and fantasy managers may feel the immediate loss, while Henriquez’s health will be monitored into the offseason. The recall of Miller may provide a fresh arm, but the team’s relief depth could be tested under increased pressure.
