LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Dodgers today recalled left-handed pitcher Adam Liberatore from Triple-A Oklahoma City and placed right-hander Chris Hatcher on the paternity list.
The 28-year-old Liberatore was dominant in three appearances with the OKC Dodgers, allowing just two baserunners (via walk) and striking out eight in 4.0 scoreless innings. He last pitched on Tuesday at Memphis, when he picked up a save by striking out four in 2.0 scoreless frames and threw 33 pitches. Liberatore, who posted a 3.00 ERA (3 ER/9.0 IP) in 10 Spring Training appearances with the Dodgers before being optioned on March 28, went 2-2 with a 4.25 ERA in 39 games with the Dodgers last year in his first MLB season.
