Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Picks up first big-league save
Rotowire
Henriquez walked one and struck out two over a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.
Henriquez was able to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning, earning his first big-league save in just his third appearance in the majors. He has allowed one run and two hits with a 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings since his call-up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. The flame-throwing prospect raced through five levels in 2024, and it's not clear yet if the Dodgers plan to keep him in the bullpen for their postseason run.

Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Promoted from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Dodgers called up Henriquez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Henriquez started the season in Single-A ball and has now reached his fifth level within the organization in 2024, propelled by a fastball that's touched as high as 104 mph. The 22-year-old posted a 4.26 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 12.2 innings across 14 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, posting an 18:10 K:BB in the process. Henriquez was not on the 40-man roster ahead of the three game set against the Padres, so a corresponding move is imminent.
The Dodgers will promote Henriquez from Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Henriquez will make the leap to Triple-A after compiling a 3.06 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 24 strikeouts over 17.2 innings in 16 appearances out of the bullpen with Tulsa. The right-hander is now just one step away from making his major-league debut.

Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Recovering from Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Henriquez is on the mend from Tommy John surgery and won't pitch again until the 2024 season, Baseball America reports.
The 21-year-old righty had a 4.54 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 44 strikeouts in 35.2 innings at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga in 2022. Henriquez had the surgery last fall, so he could be ready to participate in minor-league spring training early next year.
