J.P. Hoornstra is reporting that Alex Vesia is being called up today. As you know the Dodgers’ (and Padres’) bullpens were heavily taxed last night in the big 11-6 12-inning win.

There are two questions I have.

1. Why is it not Brusdar Graterol? I thought he was almost ready.
2. Who gets sent down or put onto the injured list?

However, congratulations to Vesia. He’s a native San Diegan who could make his Dodger debut in San Diego. The Dodgers acquired him from the Marlins in February.

We’ll keep you posted as the news trickles in.
