The Los Angeles Dodgers are placing right-handed pitcher Brock Stewart on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Right-handed pitcher Edgardo Henriquez is being recalled from Triple-A.
Stewart, 33, was acquired by the Dodgers two weeks ago ahead of the July 31 trade deadline in a one-for-one trade for outfielder James Outman.
The right-hander had a 2.38 ERA across 34 innings with the Minnesota Twins, but came with injury concerns, dealing with shoulder and elbow injuries throughout his career.
In four appearances thus far with the Dodgers since the trade, Stewart has allowed two earned runs across 3.2 innings of work for a 4.91 ERA.
This is Stewart’s second stint with LA, as he was drafted by the Dodgers in 2014 and spent parts of four seasons there from 2016-19.
As for Henriquez, the hard-throwing right-hander began the year on the injured list with a foot injury he suffered in spring training. He was reinstated off the injured list and optioned to Triple-A. In late July, he earned a call up and made three appearances, pitching 2.1 scoreless innings.
