Callups and returns for September

The start of September means it's roster expansion time, and here's what the Dodgers have cooking:

Callups:
  • Eric Stults, left-handed pitcher
  • James McDonald, right-handed pitcher
  • Jason Repko (remember him?), outfielder
Back from the DL:
  • Andruw Jones, outfielder and overall letdown
  • Delwyn Young, outfielder
  • Scott Proctor, right-handed reliever
3 more pitchers gives the Dodgers more depth out of their bullpen, where guys like Hong-Chih Kuo and Chan Ho Park have been overworked lately. Scott Elbert is already up, and he will be relied upon as well.

I've long since given up on Jones, mostly because he's a joke who has turned out to be the biggest free agent bust this season, and possibly in a long time. Young can provide a good bat late in games when they need some pop. Who knows what to expect from Repko, but if he truly is healthy, he'll give the team good energy.
