I feel badly spending time on speculation, because we’ll know soon enough which pitcher will start Saturday for the Dodgers.
But I figured I might as well pass along the news that a) Brandon Beachy is going to make another rehab start this weekend for Triple-A Oklahoma City, and b) 2010 first-round draft choice Zach Lee has been mentioned as a possibility to make his Major League debut.
Don’t run any farther with it than that: Lee, after all, has only pitched in two games since being sidelined for more than a month with a circulation problem in his right middle finger, and neither of those starts were even at Triple-A. He pitched five innings in each, however, making it possible that he could come up and take some innings in the Dodgers’ second-to-last game before they take five days off.
Before his June intermission, Lee had a 2.38 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 7.0 strikeouts per nine innings in 10 starts for Oklahoma City.

Who mentioned it?
Jon Weisman
Mattingly
Douglas Ferguson
I don’t understand why they don’t bring up Scott Baker. He has been lights out at Oklahoma……and he is an experienced major leaguer…..
Don Bright
Baker I believe got hurt on the 4th and went on the DL. I just read that Beachy is on his way to LA probably to start to tomorrow, even after DM said he wasn’t.
Mark Hagerstrom
Thanks for the heads up re Lee. Have been anticipating this.
