Dodgers' Joe Kelly: Hurls six pitches in return
Rotowire Sep 30, 2019
Kelly pitched two-thirds of an inning against the Giants on Sunday, retiring both hitters on groundouts.
It was an uneventful return for Kelly, who has been dealing with an undisclosed physical ailment and had not pitched since Sept. 18. He needed only six pitches to retire both hitters he faced in the brief outing. Despite Kelly's recent lack of appearances, the right-hander is expected to be ready to contribute when the NLDS begins Thursday.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Posts another shutout inning
Rotowire 13H ago
May (2-3) pitched a scoreless fourth inning and struck out one batter while picking up the win in the Dodgers' 9-0 win over the Giants on Sunday.
May stepped up big during the last week of the season as he pitched four scoreless innings and striking out six batters during the process. The 22-year-old had to prove to Manager Dave Roberts that he deserved to be included on the team's postseason roster and that exactly what he went out and did. May is young at just 22 years old but has a very strong arm and is riding a bunch of momentum heading into the playoffs after throwing 10 scoreless innings to close out the season. It's unclear how Dave Roberts plans to use May out of the bullpen but the right-hander surely has earned himself a spot as the Dodgers prepare for yet another World Series run.

Offseason decisions loom for Dodgers
Ryu, Hill, Freese, Martin are pending free agents; Jansen to mull opt-out clause
By Ken Gurnick @kengurnick
October 10, 2019
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers' front office has some decisions to make, but the Dodgers also have unfinished business with the front office.
The five-year contract of Andrew Friedman, president of baseball operations, is up. CEO Stan Kasten has said he’s confident Friedman isn’t going anywhere, but it remains an issue, especially since the club never replaced general manager Farhan Zaidi after he left to run the Giants.
As for the players, the biggest pending free agent is ERA champ and Cy Young Award candidate Hyun-Jin Ryu, who loves Los Angeles and playing for the Dodgers, but will probably receive more lucrative offers from other clubs. He’s represented by Scott Boras, so it will be interesting to see if he’ll take a discount to stay, or even if the Dodgers will make a big offer. The Dodgers made him a qualifying offer last winter and he accepted.
Rich Hill is 39, and he was emotional after Wednesday night’s 10-inning, 7-3 loss to the Nationals in Game 5 of the National League Division Series, saying he wanted to return. His durability was tested again this season with injuries to his knee and forearm.
“I would love to, yeah,” Hill said. “I would love to get the opportunity to come back here and wear the Dodger uniform again. That was really cool. It was a great honor. Hopefully something will play out and I can come back into this locker room and be part of this club. It’s just going to be a lot of fun watching these guys. Good young players and a really good pitching staff coming back, too.”
David Freese has hinted that he’ll retire because his body is broken. Russell Martin is 36 and the club is committed to Will Smith behind the plate for the foreseeable future.
The Dodgers are expected to exercise a $1 million buyout of infielder Jedd Gyorko’s $13 million contract. Closer Kenley Jansen has an opt-out, but coming off his worst season it’s a longshot he’ll exercise it and walk away from $38 million over the final two years.

Then if Kenley isn't leaving & stays for the money, he better be gracious about accepting another role. He would be admitting he had a bad year as our closer. He would be admitting no one else would give him that kind of money. |

This will be a very interesting winter. |

I'm thinking we'll see a few more blown saves in 2020 out of him, hopefully he can regain form and be good for post- season. |
