Overview
- The Dodgers called Sheehan back to the big-league roster on Tuesday and he was in Denver ahead of the series against the Rockies.
- The recall follows an early-August option to Triple-A Oklahoma City that the club described as a 'reset' to fix his mechanics and inconsistent velocity.
- Sheehan turned heads in Triple-A with a 5 2/3 scoreless-inning start featuring eight strikeouts, which helped prompt his return.
- He will be used as a flexible multi-inning arm out of the bullpen who can open, piggyback or provide bulk relief depending on game needs.
- The move gives the Dodgers short-term roster depth and a candidate for a postseason relief role while protecting a bullpen facing heavy late-season workloads.
