Overview

  • The Dodgers adjusted their bullpen Monday before the Mets series, recalling right-hander Kyle Hurt and placing Ben Casparius on the injured list.
  • Casparius went on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation after a rough start that included a 9.64 ERA and a 2.143 WHIP in five outings.
  • Hurt returns to the majors with only four MLB appearances after Tommy John surgery cost him 2025, following a strong 2026 spring with 12 strikeouts in 7.1 innings.
  • Closer Edwin Diaz has not pitched since Friday, and manager Dave Roberts declined to share his status, with no IL move announced for Diaz.
  • The IL stint forces a short-term reshuffle of relief roles against New York, with Hurt adding depth as the club navigates late-inning assignments.
