Almonte was reinstated from the paternity list Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte has a streak of nine straight scoreless appearances going into the All-Star break. He has a 1.04 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 8.2 innings over that span.

The Dodgers placed Almonte on the paternity list Thursday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte is allowed to miss up to three days as he tends to more-important matters. If he takes off all three days, his next appearance will come after the All-Star break. The 29-year-old reliever holds a 5.15 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 36.2 innings this season.

Almonte allowed four runs on two hits and one walk over 1.1 innings against the Pirates on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte entered the game with the Dodgers in a jam in the sixth inning, inheriting a two-on, one-out situation. He escaped by inducing a double play, but the right-hander was less effective in the following frame. He allowed four hitters to reach base, and all four came around to score, though two crossed the plate after Almonte departed. The veteran reliever has been charged with multiple runs in three of his 12 outings this season, including in two of his past three trips to the mound.

Almonte (elbow) will face hitters Wednesday for the first time this spring, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte missed much of the second half last season with a right elbow injury, so the Dodgers have eased him into things this spring. It's not clear at this point when he might be game-ready, but the club expects him to be available for the start of the season. Almonte was quite a find for the Dodgers in 2022, sporting a 1.02 ERA over 33 relief appearances.

Almonte signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Dodgers on Friday to avoid arbitration, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite missing roughly two months of the season with an elbow injury, Almonte still put together an outstanding 2022 campaign, allowing just four earned runs over 35.1 frames. Of course, numbers as good as his will be nearly impossible to replicate in 2023, but if he can stay anywhere near where he was last year, he may establish himself as one of the premier pieces of the Dodgers' bullpen.

Almonte (elbow) was activated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte made three appearances during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City and has been cleared to rejoin the big-league roster. The 28-year-old has been a strong bullpen piece for Los Angeles this year with a 1.15 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB across 31.1 innings.

Almonte (elbow) completed his third minor-league rehab outing Sunday and is expected to return to the Dodgers on Wednesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte gave up two runs over two-thirds of an inning for Triple-A Oklahoma on Sunday, though both scored after he exited the contest. The right-hander looked fine despite the unpleasant stat line, throwing 10 of 16 pitches for strikes and getting unlucky on one of the hits (a bloop single). Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has indicated that Almonte will be activated Wednesday as long as he doesn't encounter any physical setbacks, and the veteran reliever should return to a prominent place in the team's bullpen after posting a 1.15 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB while notching seven holds and a save over his first 29 outings.

Almonte (elbow) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte has been out with an elbow injury since early August. He should have time to make it back for at least a handful of appearances this season, though it's unclear exactly when the Dodgers expect him to return.

Almonte (elbow) threw 25 pitches to teammate Gavin Lux (neck) in a sim game Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte was one of several injured Dodger pitchers who threw from a mound Wednesday, though he was the only one of the group who tossed to a hitter. The right-hander reportedly felt good during the sim game, with Dodgers manager Dave Roberts describing his stuff as "coming out hot," per MLB.com. Almonte is expected to toss another sim game soon before potentially heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Almonte (elbow) will throw a simulated game Wednesday, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte continues to take steps forward in his rehab, with the next chance to prove his health coming later in the week. He's been on the 15-day injured list since Aug. 7 due to right elbow tightness.
