The rookie right-hander might be booted from the Dodgers' rotation after beating the Miami Marlins.
LOS ANGELES ― If Ryan Pepiot’s first major league season is in the books, the rookie right-hander can be proud of how it ended.over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. He threw 97 pitches over six innings, both season highs. Only a two-run home run by Lewin Diaz did any damage among the Marlins’ four hits.“Definitely just taking it day by day, and just kind of build off each inning, each pitch, each outing,” he said.
Other than Diaz’s fourth-inning home run, Miami never got another runner past second base in six innings against Pepiot. After walking five and three batters in his last two starts, respectively, Pepiot issued only two walks Sunday. Normally his best pitch, Pepiot threw only 12 changeups compared to 69 fastballs. But he induced 11 swings and misses on the pitch. The Marlins’ starting pitcher, All-Star Sandy Alcantara, got just two whiffs on his 100-mph fastball all afternoon.
“There will be a point in September where we as an organization have to make a decision on when we go to the 5-man ,” Roberts said, “and put whoever it is in the ’pen, some repetitions as you look out, and get him ready for that role.”Kershaw will not go on a minor league rehabilitation assignment, Roberts said, paving the way for the All-Star starter to rejoin the Dodgers’ rotation once active rosters expand from 26 to 28 on Sept. 1.
