There was chatter that Joe Wieland would get called up and pitch for the Dodgers on Sunday. Instead, the call will go to veteran right-handed pitcher Scott Baker. (Bill Plunkett on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
The 33-year-old has bounced around after spending seven years in Minnesota. He sports a career 4.25 ERA, 1.253 WHIP, and a 3.43 K:BB ratio. He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2013. Baker possesses a low-90s fastball, change-up, slider, and knuckle-curve. Most recently, on April 20th, he took a perfect game into the seventh inning for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He could be an attractive spot-start in San Diego and possibly perform as Mike Bolsinger did against the Giants on Thursday.
