Dodgers' Anthony Banda: Playing catch
Anthony Banda (hand) has started to play catch at the Los Angeles Dodgers' spring training complex in Arizona, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.Banda is less than a week removed from going on the 15-day injured list with a fractured left hand, so it's a good sign that he's already throwing. The club remains hopeful that he can make it back before the end of the regular season. Banda has been a nice find for the Dodgers this season, although he had struggled lately before going on the IL, allowing seven runs over his last four appearances.

Dodgers' Anthony Banda: Collects first save
Anthony Banda struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.Banda got the save opportunity after all of Evan Phillips, Blake Treinen, Alex Vesia and Daniel Hudson were deployed between the fifth and eighth innings. It was a drama-free experience for Banda, who needed just 12 pitches (nine strikes) to retire the side. Hudson, who has been the favorite for saves lately, pitched against the heart of the Athletics' order in the eighth inning. Bullpen depth has been a strength for the Los Angeles Dodgers this year, and Banda's been a successful part of that with a 2.16 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 34:14 K:BB over 33.1 innings while adding five holds and a 1-1 record. Banda is still more likely to work in low-leverage spots, but Sunday's outing is proof he can handle bigger moments.

Dodgers' Anthony Banda: Nabs win in team debut
Anthony Banda (1-0) was the pitcher of record in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Reds, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of relief.After being acquired in a trade with Cleveland on Friday, Banda was brought up to Los Angeles on Sunday and was asked to keep the Reds offense at bay in the top of the 10th inning. The southpaw was successful in doing so, keeping the automatic runner from coming home in a nine-pitch frame. Banda bounced between six teams over the past four campaigns and hasn't yet shown an extended run of MLB success, so he's likely to work primarily in lower-leverage spots with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the time being.
