(Ross D. Franklin / Associated Press)

Gray started Oklahoma Metropolis's first game and hasn't pitched since. The 23-year-old right-hander's unavailability hamstrung the Dodgers' all of a sudden shallow starting pitching depth.
The club went over a month without a fifth starter when Dustin May tore the ulnar collateral ligament May 1. The Dodgers were left without viable healthy options to replace May and opted for pitcher games in the fifth starter'southward spot until Gonsolin came off the injured list earlier this month.
David Price and Jimmy Nelson have extensive histories as starters – both veterans are total-time relievers for the start fourth dimension this season – but Roberts said neither is currently an option to outset games.
Price is the adjacent choice on the depth nautical chart, but the team prefers to stay away from converting him back to starter because information technology would accept a considerable amount of fourth dimension to stretch him out.

"We also take into consideration what he'southward done in recency equally far as the terminal couple of years," Roberts said. "He'southward been banged up so how tin can we become him from here through the end of the season impacting our lodge and that's kind of right now where nosotros see it and Jimmy's on board, too."

The Dodgers (44-30) have dropped 7 of eight games to the Padres (45-32) later on winning the season'southward first 2 meetings. The Padres moved inside a half-game of the second-place Dodgers with the first-place San Francisco Giants are four games ahead of them. The clubs don't meet again until late August.
"They admittedly kicked our ass from an intensity standpoint," Dodgers starter Trevor Bauer said. "They came to play, we didn't. That's what happens in baseball game. Y'all try to set on the other team and win and when you don't have that mindset, you get rolled. And we got rolled."
