Yates gave up a three-run Homerun to the Angels Catcher Logan O'Hippe before he was before his early departure. The right -hander gave up two deserved runs over 0.1 Innerings.

The latest news is not good for an already exhausted Dodgers bullpen and the pitching staff in general. The Dodgers currently have 14 pitchers on the injured list, the youngest are Roki Sasaki.

The Dodgers Bullpen is currently leading the league -ininning, a worrying trend for a team in which several pitchers are expelled through injuries. Manager Dave Roberts said that the current use of the Bullpen was not a sustainable business model.

“It only seems to be certain boys – and I could return to every starter – but you still try your health and … [be] Pay attention to the innings that the bullpen takes and tries to tumble as much as possible and manage all the stuff, ”said Robert's early this month.

“Absolutely not, we want to lead the league in Bullpen Innings.”

It is unclear how serious the injury to Yates is, but it may have been a reason for his poor performance on the hill on Saturday evening. The right -hander has an ERA of 3.86 ERA with 31 strikes and a save in 18.2 Innerings, which were set up for the Dodgers this year.

Yates signed a one-year contract for $ 13 million with the defending champion in the off-season.
