2017 Dodgers review: Luis Ysla

Luis Ysla didn’t pitch for the Dodgers in 2017, but he did spend 33 days on the 40-man roster, earning much-coveted future old friend status.

Coming

The Dodgers acquired the 25-year-old left-hander from the Red Sox for cash considerations on July 29 and optioned him to Double-A Tulsa.

Ysla pitched seven games in relief for the Drillers, including four scoreless outings in his first five appearances. He allowed five runs in 4 innings in his final two games, and in total with Tulsa opposing batters hitting .319/.407/.489.

Going

To clear some space on the 40-man roster once active roster limits expanded, the Dodgers designated Ysla for assignment on Sept. 1.

Game of the year
