EDWIN UCETA NEWS

Lands on injured list Uceta was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left lumbar strain, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Uceta was recalled from Oklahoma City on July 4 and wound up allowing five earned runs across three appearances (2.1 innings). It's not entirely clear when or how the lumbar strain was suffered, but it will keep him on the shelf until at least July 20. Given the right-hander's struggles since being recalled, it's definitely possible that he's optioned back to the minors when he ready to return.

Officially recalled from Triple-A The Dodgers recalled Uceta from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Impact As expected, the righty joins the Dodgers to help get through Sunday's bullpen game against the Nationals. Uceta allowed five runs in 1.2 innings in his last outing June 20, so he may not stick around with the big club long after Sunday's game.

Slated to rejoin Dodgers Uceta will be reinstated by the Dodgers ahead of Sunday's game against the Nationals, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The Dodgers plan to have a bullpen game in Sunday's series finale, and Uceta should play a role during the contest. The right-hander has posted a 6.28 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 14.1 innings across eight appearances (one start) with the major-league club this year.

Optioned to Triple-A Uceta was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Impact Uceta hasn't shown much to get excited about in limited big-league action this season. After allowing five runs while recording five outs Sunday against the Diamondbacks, he now owns a 6.28 ERA in 14.1 innings on the year. Outfielder Zach Reks was called up in a corresponding move.

Struggles in Arizona on Sunday Uceta pitched 1.2 innings against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing five runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three.

Impact Uceta was called up to provide bullpen depth earlier in the day and was given a chance to pitch in the seventh inning during what looked to be an easy Dodgers victory. The right-hander did fine in his initial frame, but he allowed Arizona to get back into the contest with a big eighth inning. Uceta walked two and allowed three singles, departing with the Diamondbacks having put up three runs against him. Victor Gonzalez subsequently allowed both inherited runners to score, and Los Angeles barely held on for a 9-8 win. The poor outing pushed Uceta's season ERA to 6.28, though he has registered a solid 10.0 K/9.

Charged with loss Sunday Uceta (0-2) allowed three runs (zero earned) on four hits while striking out four across three innings, taking the loss to the Marlins on Sunday.

Impact Uceta allowed a three-run home run to Adam Duvall in the fifth inning, which was enough for the Marlins to secure the win. However, none of the runs were earned due to a fielding error by Sheldon Neuse to lead off the inning. Uceta has a 2.45 ERA in 7.1 innings. Barring injuries, he isn't in line to receive many high-leverage innings for the Dodgers this year.

Optioned to minors Uceta was optioned off the big-league roster Saturday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Uceta made his big-league debut as an opener Friday against the Brewers but didn't make a particularly strong impression, giving up two runs on four hits over two frames. Alex Vesia was called up in a corresponding move.

Surrenders two as opener Uceta (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over two innings in a loss to the Brewers on Friday.

Impact Manager Dave Roberts opted to go with a bullpen game Friday and awarded Uceta with the opportunity to be the opener. The 23-year-old pitched a 1-2-3 first but allowed four hits in the second, including a two-run homer to Jackie Bradley. He turned it over to the rest of the bullpen after just two innings and 27 pitches and could see some more opportunities in the near future with the Dodgers' bullpen decimated by injuries.
