The Dodgers announced today that Mike Bolsinger has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and will start today’s game against the Miami Marlins. Outfielder Chris Heisey was optioned to Oklahoma City to clear a spot on the Dodgers’ 25-man roster.
Bolsinger has never faced the Marlins in his career.
In his only major-league start with the Dodgers on April 23, Bolsinger allowed one run in 5 ⅔ innings. He took a shutout into the sixth inning against the San Francisco Giants, but did not factor into the decision.
In four starts at Triple-A, Bolsinger has allowed only three runs. He has a 1.42 earned-run average and 28 strikeouts in 19 innings.
The Dodgers have rotated their fifth starter’s position among five different pitchers this season (Bolsinger, Baker, Wieland, Frias and David Huff) due to Hyun-Jin Ryu’s shoulder injury. Combined, they have a 4.97 ERA.
