Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reported that Leon had been struggling with soreness.
#Dodgers giving Jose De Leon lots of rest since he reported sore arm after his only 2016 start (May 3). Not listed as starting thru May 17.

The Dodgers have one of the best minor league systems in all of baseball and Leon is one of the bright stars in the farm system. Last season going between High-A and Double-A he posted a 2.99 ERA.
It looks as if the injury is not too serious and he will be reevaluated next week. As more information surfaces on the Dodgers and their injury news we will keep you up to date.
