The Dodgers bullpen needs some major help and that is on the way. However, LA's starting free agent signing has crucial hump to get over before joining team.

LOS ANGELES — It was touted as the biggest series of the month. It was billed as a potential passing of the torch, with the San Diego Padres threatening to win the National League West for the first time in 19 years. Instead, Sunday’s finale ended in a three-game sweep — and a relatively convincing one, at that.

Among the usual top baseball teams this season, there is another, more unexpected name – that of the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Los Angeles Angels on Sunday recalled right-hander Jose Fermin, 23, who is 2-2 with a 6.63 ERA in 23 games this season, from Triple-A Salt Lake, and designated righty Connor Brogdon for assignment prior to the series finale against the Athletics.

Dave Roberts couldn't help but express a little satisfaction after his Los Angeles Dodgers took care of business.
