Madison Younginer

The Dodgers reassigned left-handed pitcher Patrick Schuster and right-handed pitcher Madison Younginer to minor league camp following their Monday afternoon game against the Indians.

Schuster allowed three hits and one run over 7 2/3 Cactus League innings in 10 appearances, also picking up a save. Schuster’s 0.78 WHIP was the second-best among Dodgers pitchers who threw at least five innings, trailing only Luis Avilan (0.71).

Younginer allowed 11 hits, five runs and five walks while striking out nine in eight innings at Spring Training.

The Dodgers now have 51 players remaining at big-league camp (excluding Yimi Garcia, who’s on the 60-day disabled list), following Monday’s 14–5 loss to the Indians.

Joc Pederson added to his team lead in home runs, belting his fifth of the spring, while Chase Utley came a triple short of the cycle, hitting his first home run of the spring as part of a 3-for-4 day at the plate.

Brandon McCarthy started and allowed six hits and five runs while striking out two in 4 1/3 innings, but only two of those runs were earned. McCarthy told reporters afterward he’ll likely pitch in a minor league game to work in a more controlled environment his next time out.

Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has a 1.80 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in five innings over two starts this spring, is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Brewers and Matt Garza.
