I am at Dodger Stadium. So is Luis Avilan. So is Chris Hatcher. Grant Dayton is throwing off a mound. Clayton Kershaw is stretching.

Avilan took a leave of absence due to the birth of his son. Avilan has spent time with the Atlanta Braves and Dodgers throughout his career.
So far this season Avilan has played in 47 games and has posted a 1-1 record with a 3.09 ERA. He has pitched in 32 innings of work.
Los Angeles brought Stewart up for a short stint but now can go back to Avilan for the foreseeable future.
