Dodgers Put Edgardo Henriquez on 15‑Day IL, Ending His Regular Season

The move removes a key late‑inning arm and forces roster adjustments that could shape Los Angeles’s October bullpen choices.

Overview

  • The Dodgers placed right‑hander Edgardo Henriquez on the 15‑day injured list for lower back discomfort on Monday, which by MLB calendar timing prevents him from pitching again in the regular season.
  • Los Angeles recalled Triple‑A pitchers Bobby Miller and Paul Gervase to the big‑league roster as short‑term bullpen depth after the Henriquez move.
  • Henriquez finished the regular season with a 4‑1 record, a 2.85 ERA, 71 strikeouts and a 1.03 WHIP across 61 appearances and last allowed two earned runs over two‑thirds of an inning against Miami.
  • The team has not released MRI results or a structural diagnosis for Henriquez’s back, leaving his ability to return for the postseason, when 15‑day placements become eligible again on Sept. 29, dependent on further medical updates.
  • Henriquez’s absence compounds late‑season uncertainty that already includes Edwin Díaz’s uneven Triple‑A rehab work and Shohei Ohtani’s biceps inflammation, a combination that will influence how manager Dave Roberts assigns high‑leverage innings in October.
