Dodgers' Andrew Heaney placed on IL for second time this season
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Andrew Heaney is headed back to the injured list for the second time this season.
On Friday, the Dodgers placed Heaney on the 15-day IL with left shoulder inflammation.
Manager Dave Roberts said Heaney is also dealing with a shoulder strain. Heaney will be shut down for a few days, and the team hopes he'll only miss a few starts.
Heaney has started just three games for the Dodgers this season. He's 1-0 with a 0.59 ERA in 15.1 innings pitched.
The Dodgers signed Heaney as a free agent ahead of the 2022 season, agreeing to a one-year, $8.5M contract.
Dodgers recalled right-hander Reyes Moronta from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take Heaney's place on the active roster. Moronta has pitched in eight games for the Dodgers this season, posting a 2.00 ERA with nine strikeouts in nine innings.
