Los Angeles Dodgers activate outfielder AJ Pollock from injured list
With outfielder Cody Bellinger going on the injured list and infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor dealing with a sore neck, the Dodgers elected to bring back Pollock on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. He’s been sidelined since Sept. 5 with a strained right hamstring.
Pollock is expected to be available in a pinch-hit capacity Wednesday with plans to start in left field on Thursday.
“Just making sure we have enough position-player coverage,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts explained. “AJ was progressing really well — just to have him available off the bench will be helpful.”
Pollock, 33, is batting .297 with 16 homers and 58 RBIs this season.
In other moves, the Dodgers designated right-hander Shane Greene for assignment. He appeared in nine games with a 4.05 ERA and one save.
