Opening bullpen game Uceta will serve as the opener for what's expected to be a bullpen game Friday against the Brewers, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact The Dodgers entered the season with enviable rotation depth, but injuries to David Price (hamstring) and Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) will cause them to go with a bullpen game already before the first month of the season is complete. Uceta, who's yet to pitch above Double-A, has pitched almost exclusively as a starter in the minors, but it doesn't look as if he'll be asked to go deep in this contest. In 123.1 minor-league innings in 2019, he recorded a 2.77 ERA, 27.0 percent strikeout rate and 9.4 percent walk rate.

Recalled by Dodgers Uceta was recalled by the Dodgers on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Dodgers placed Brusdar Graterol (forearm) on the 10-day injured list, with Uceta's promotion being the corresponding move. He'll provide needed depth in the team's bullpen, which is already missing Joe Kelly (shoulder), Corey Knebel (lat) and David Price (hamstring), among others.

Bound for MiLB camp The Dodgers optioned Uceta to their minor-league camp Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Uceta will likely open the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City. His last minor-league action came in 2019 at Double-A Tulsa, with whom he logged a 3.21 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 76:33 K:BB across 73 innings.
