Ronald Belisario (strained elbow) is nearing his return to the Dodgers, according to MLB.com. He fared fine while throwing 20 pitches in a simulated game Saturday.
Belisario is likely to start a rehab assignment next week, but feels ready to pitch in a game now. He will provide solid depth to the Dodgers' bullpen if healthy, but his fantasy value will be limited as a middle reliever.
The Dodgers are in the market for a reliever to replace the injured Ronald Belisario (strained elbow), according to MLB.com.
Belisario held a seventh-inning role prior to going down with his injury. The Dodgers are unsure if they have a capable replacement in-house, so they may put out some trade inquiries.
Ronald Belisario will avoid surgery on his right elbow, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Belisario and the team had begun to worry because the reliever thought his elbow was beginning to feel the way it was in 2005 before he had to undergo Tommy John surgery. The elbow is just inflamed, and counting the time needed for a rehab assignment, he isn't expected to be out more than a month. With 10 holds and a 2.46 ERA in 2009, Belisario is a decent option in leagues with middle relievers.
The Dodgers placed reliever Ronald Belisario on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday with a right shoulder strain.
Belisario has been a critical component of the first place Dodgers bullpen this season, striking out nearly a batter an inning and posting a 2.46 ERA. He isn't expected to miss much time, and if you own him in a league with holds or middle relievers, there is no need to drop him.
FoxSports reports that reliever Ronald Belisario may one of the best finds of the offseason. "He throws 95 mph bowling balls," one scout says. "When guys hit the ball, it looks like the bats vibrate in their hands." He was signed by the Dodgers out of the Venezuela Winter League and this is the first time he has played above Double-A.
Belisario has nine strikeouts through 5.2 innings pitched this season. He has allowed just five baserunners, and should be the Dodgers primary setup man if his production remains this good.
