Former Dodgers Pitcher Passes Away, River Ryan Called Up, Graterol Makes Significant Progress

The Dodgers triumphed over the Houston Astros with a 6-2 victory, led by River Ryan who nearly pitched a no-hitter until the sixth inning in only his second career start.

During their day off on the way to San Diego, let’s catch up on the latest headlines:

Tragically, former Dodgers pitcher Reyes Moronta has passed away in a traffic accident in the Dominican Republic at the young age of 31. Moronta, known for his time with the Dodgers and other MLB teams, will be remembered fondly.

Manager Dave Roberts faced a challenging decision in the sixth inning of the Dodgers-Astros game on Sunday. Taking out starter River Ryan, who was in only his second MLB start and his 10th game of the year, led to a tense moment as his replacement, Alex Vesia, allowed the Astros to almost make a comeback. It felt like déjà vu for a moment.

Dodgers’ pitcher Brusdar Graterol is making solid progress in his rehabilitation, completing his first back-to-back games of the season without allowing any earned runs. With six strikeouts in four games, Graterol shows positive signs of returning to the MLB roster soon, a vital step in his recovery from a shoulder injury.
