The Dodgers never revealed why Baez was on the
IL. He reported late to camp earlier this month in advance of
the delayed start to the season.
The hard-throwing Baez, 32, has a career 3.03 ERA in six seasons
with the Dodgers. He was 7-2 in 71 appearances last season, with
a 3.10 ERA and 69 strikeouts in 69 2/3 innings.
Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen also reported late to camp, saying
he had recovered after testing positive for COVID-19. Jansen
said he never considered opting out of the season despite
undergoing multiple heart procedures during his playing career
and is expected to be ready for the start of the season Thursday
against the San Francisco Giants.
In other Dodgers roster moves, outfielder Terrance Gore was
added to the team's 60-man player pool as were infielders Kody
Hoese and Devin Mann.
Gore, who has been used mostly for his speed in a six-year major
league career, has 40 steals and 77 career plate appearances
with the Kansas City Royals and Chicago Cubs. Hoese and Mann do
not have any major league experience.
