Bringing up their top pitching prospect give extra rest to starting pitchers and move Dustin May back to pitch in next weekend’s series at San Diego.
LOS ANGELES — President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has said the Dodgers went into this season having made the decision to “carve out” opportunities at the big-league level for some of their top prospects.
The Dodgers gave Stone the news on Saturday. But Dave Roberts would not confirm the upcoming move, saying only that the Dodgers were “possibly” considering an adjustment to the starting rotation this week.“It would just be more of — we do decide to do anything — to give guys a blow. But right now, we’re going to stay the course. … As of now.”
Perhaps more important, moving May back would give him six days’ rest following his start against the Cardinals in which he threw a career-high 104 pitches. Clayton Kershaw lines up to pitch Saturday in San Diego and Noah Syndergaard on Sunday, both on six days’ rest as well. The 24-year-old Stone has begun the season 2-2 with a 4.74 ERA in six starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City. But that includes a rough start in the season opener and 10 runs allowed in his first 11⅔ innings of the season. Over his past three starts, Stone has allowed three runs on eight hits while striking out 17 in 13 innings.Will Smith made his first start at catcher since returning from a concussion that sidelined him for two weeks. Smith’s first two starts were at DH.
