JOHN ELY RUMORS & GOSSIP
Astros' John Ely needs Tommy John surgery
John Ely seemed ready to make the jump. Considering the injury to Alex White, the Houston Astros appeared to be in need of some starting pitching help, and Ely seemed the logical candidate. He was in Major League camp this spring, and has experience now at all levels of the minor league system. Unfortunately, his season is over as he will need to undergo Tommy John surgery...
Dodgers Trade John Ely
The Los Angeles Dodgers traded John Ely to the Houston Astros for former Pasadena Poly High School and UCLA star Rob Rasmussen.
As a native of Arcadia, left-handed pitcher Rasmussen, 23, was drafted by the Dodgers in the 27th round of the 2007 amateur draft, but he chose to go to UCLA instead. In 2010, the Florida Marlins selected him in the 2nd round of the 2010 draft.
He was then...
Dodgers send John Ely to Astros for Rob Rasmussen, and it's a good deal
Not the trade some were expecting, but a trade nonetheless. The Dodgers sent John Ely, the perpetrator of "Elymania" a few years ago to Houston for left-handed pitcher Rob Rasmussen.
With the Dodgers signing Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu, while also shopping starters Chris Capuano and Aaron Harang, Ely was about 15th on the starting pitcher depth chart. It's...

Aaron Harang starting on short rest probably seems like a bad idea because it is
Aaron Harang will likely start Sunday’s game against the Reds on short rest, according to Don Mattingly.
It could be bad.
That leaves Sunday’s slot open, and one day after saying right-hander John Ely — who has made only two appearances in the Major Leagues this season, both in relief — could start, Mattingly said right-hander Aaron Harang likely will go on short rest. Harang...
Dodgers Add Abreu, Federowicz, Ely, Guerra As Rosters Expand
Matt Guerrier returned Friday night from the disabled list after being sidelined with right elbow tendinitis since April 19. Although he gave the deciding run that led to the Dodgers eventual loss, Guerrier is reportedly feeling good and ready for the final weeks of the season. Guerrier figures to be one of Mattingly’s go-to bullpen arms on a daily basis for the rest of the way...
Chad Billingsley's elbow MRI could impact John Ely and Ryan Dempster
News broke this morning that Dodgers' starting pitcher Chad Billingsley was scratched from his start because of an "undisclosed injury."
Undisclosed injury progressed to elbow tenderness which progressed to him needing an MRI.
Oh boy. Elbow MRIs are never a good thing. Even if it isn't the worst (torn ulnar collateral ligament), he'll probably need...
Trade With Cardboard Heaven: ElyMania Lost Its Mojo, But The Beast and The Burner Are Still Trucking
Today, we're taking a trip to a far away place, up high above the clouds, in Cardboard Heaven. I've made stops there before, beginning way back with my first trade and ending with my one hundredth trade. There was even a stop in-between. For our fourth trade, Cam sent me some really great stuff. We'll start off with one of my favorite non-Chargers, Patrick Willis.Numbered...
Rule 5 Draft Update: Ely, Monasterios Outrighted
Well just about 24 hours ago I tried to predict Colletti's next move as it pertains to removing some players from the eligibility list in the Rule 5 draft. Well as you might know, our GM can be quite unpredictable at times, and can do some of the most bizarre and sometimes downright ridiculously stupid things at other times. You might recall I tried to predict what Colletti...
