Dodgers' Ryan Madson: To see save chances over weekend
Mason figures to be one of the top candidates for save opportunities this weekend against Colorado, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.Kenley Jansen (chest) didn't travel with the team as a precaution, so Ryan Madson and Kenta Maeda figure handle save situations if needed. Manager Dave Roberts stated it'll be closer by committee with Jansen out of the picture for now. Given Madson's recent usage (he's pitched in three of the past four games), the Los Angeles Dodgers may elect to avoid using him in Friday's opener, although he should be well rested for the final two games of the series, per Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.

Dodgers' Ryan Madson: Acquired by Dodgers
Ryan Madson was traded from the Nationals to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday in exchange for Andrew Istler, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.The Dodgers acquire a much-needed late-inning arm, as closer Kenley Jansen has allowed seven runs on 10 hits (including four homers) over his last four appearances since returning from a trip to the disabled list due to an irregular heartbeat. The team is reportedly keeping faith in Jansen as its closer, but Madson and his 91 career saves could be an option to take over should his struggles continue. Greg Holland, Justin Miller and Koda Glover are left as the primary options for saves in Washington until Sean Doolittle returns from his toe injury.
