Kenta Maeda is openly wondering whether the Astros' sign stealing affected the performance of teammate Yu Darvish during the Dodgers' 2017 World Series loss to Houston.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that Hyun-Jin Ryu will be activated from the disabled list Wednesday, while Kenta Maeda and Ross Stripling will be used as relievers.
The Dodgers have put right-hander Kenta Maeda and second baseman Chase Utley on the disabled list.
Dodgers right-hander Kenta Maeda was removed in the second inning of Tuesday night's loss to the Phillies with an undisclosed injury.
The deciding game of the World Series between the Astros and Dodgers will pit Lance McCullers Jr. and Yu Darvish on the mound, but the teams will be ready to call on respective aces Dallas Keuchel and Clayton Kershaw from the bullpen.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, criticized for how he used his bullpen in Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Astros in the World Series, said he would make the same decisions if he had to do them all over again.
