 More Dodgers NewsDodgers LinksThe Dodgers purchased the contract of right-handed reliever Justin Miller from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday and designated for assignment reliever Ramon Ortiz. Despite the move, the Dodgers remain a pitcher short. Manager Joe Torre said another move is likely, probably a swing man, and he indicated it wouldn't be made until after the club sees what its latest fifth-starter candidate, Carlos Monasterios, does in Colorado on Friday night. That could mean left-hander Scott Elbert is under consideration. He starts for Albuquerque on Friday. Charlie Haeger has a rehab start for Class A Inland Empire on Saturday, and Torre said, "my guess is he'll join us shortly." Torre said he would use the durable Miller to pitch out of a jam during an inning or for multiple frames. "He can pitch every day. I saw him do that with the Giants last year," said Torre. "In Spring Training, we knew we couldn't take him, even though you want on your staff someone with durability." |
