Jason Schmidt will once again try to salvage his once great career by being activated from the 60-day DL and making the start Monday against the Reds. It'll be his first start since June 16, 2007.
This saga just seems to never end. He's been rehabbing in the minors all season. In Class A Inland Empire, he's 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA in two starts. In Triple-A Albuquerque, he's 2-0 with a 4.18 ERA in five starts with six overall appearances. So, not too shabby.
Potentially, he can get up to three starts before the July 31 trade deadline. It's no secret that the Dodgers are looking for pitching help in both the rotation and bullpen. Could he possibly be trade bait with some strong performances? Who knows.
For a look back on his spectacular Dodgers history (yes, sarcasm), click on the link to the article. It's pretty amazing reading all of the injuries he's been through. So much for being the ace of the staff after signing a three-year, $47 million deal before the 2007 season.
