Tony Cingrani has long been looking for his health. Last season it was a haunting shoulder injury that prevented him from throwing and just a few months later, that issue appears to be creeping back.

The Dodgers shut Cingrani down and effectively removed a left-handed reliever from their mix of options.

So, where does that leave LA?

One reliever down in a system of ‘play the next man up’ has Los Angeles simply trying to find the guy to take Cingrani’s role.

Last year, the team released the also oft-injured lefty Adam Liberatore, traded away Alex Wood and lost Edward Paredes to free agency.

So, with some system shifting and some ailments, let’s take a look at the Dodgers lefty options for the bullpen following the injury to Cingrani.
