Dave Roberts: Dodgers Bullpen Thriving By Reling On 'Next Man Up'

The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen was expected to be a strength of the team this season, and they have been, just in an unconventional way. Evan Phillips, Brusdar Graterol, Joe Kelly and Ryan Brasier are all on the 15-day injured list, while Blake Treinen just recently returned.
