Alexander Vesia: Breaking News

Vesia struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth inning against the Mets on Tuesday to earn a save. With the Dodgers up one run heading into the ninth inning, it was Vesia -- rather than Edwin Diaz -- who was summoned to close out the game. Vesia more than lived up to the role, needing just 10 pitches to strike out all three batters he faced. It was the lefty's second save of the campaign, with his other coming in an appearance during which he faced only one batter. Vesia clearly has manager Dave Roberts' trust in high-leverage situations and has yet to give up a run through 7.1 frames spanning eight outings this season. With that said, Diaz is likely to get the vast majority of the Dodgers' save chances over the course of the campaign. Per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register, Diaz was unavailable Tuesday after throwing a bullpen session during the afternoon.

Vesia struck out the only batter he faced to earn a save Saturday against the Rangers. The Dodgers took a three-run lead into the ninth inning and turned to Blake Treinen to close things out. Treinen got two outs but also allowed two baserunners on a walk and an error, and Vesia was brought in to face lefty Evan Carter, who was then swapped out for pinch hitter Danny Jansen. Vesia got the job done, fanning Jansen on six pitches to end the contest. The save was Vesia's first of the season after he recorded five saves each of the past two regular seasons. He's one of Los Angeles' top setup men but probably won't see many more save chances since Edwin Diaz, who was unavailable Saturday (per Jack Harris of the California Post) after throwing 23 pitches Friday, is locked into the closer role.

Vesia has allowed one earned run on three hits while posting a 7:1 K:BB over 5.2 innings through seven appearances in Cactus League action. A personal matter resulted in Vesia not being part of Los Angeles' World Series roster last season, but the lefty reliever has been back with the team for camp. He's slated to be one of the Dodgers' top setup men after posting a 3.02 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 80:22 K:BB across 59.2 frames spanning 68 regular-season appearances last year while notching five saves and a team-high 26 holds.
