Dodgers Rumors: Impact Call-Ups that can Stop the Dodgers Dry Spell
By Evan Lovett
The 2017 season has been fairly disappointing for the Los Angeles Dodgers. According to these Dodgers rumors, which call-ups should Dave Roberts turn to?
The Dodgers did not expect to struggle in the beginning of the season. The four-time consecutive National League Western Division champions are under .500 this late for the first time since 2013.
As the Dodgers look to bounce back from a bad start, the same problems that plagued the club in 2016 are evident this season. They still can not hit left-handed pitching, their rotation is in shambles, and their struggles with runners in scoring position are stifling the offense.
So what is the solution? Does manager Dave Roberts simply wait for the team to jell or does the front office pull the trigger on transactions that the fans have been clamoring for since the Spring? The Dodgers have a bevy of prospects in the minor leagues, some of whom may be ready to make an impact in the big leagues.
With the news that the Dodgers are expected to call up uber-prospect Julio Urias this week, we take a look here at the current status and statistics of additional top prospects, and when we can expect any internal help for the big club as they look to win their first World Series since 1988.
