Dodgers News: Louis Coleman Has Been Reinstated

Right-hander reliever, Louis Coleman has been reinstated from the Bereavement List, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced today. By doing so, they had to option a player down to the minor leagues and that player was left-handed reliever, Luis Avilan. Coleman missed time following a death in the family.

During his stint with the Dodgers, Avilan appeared in three games and gave up three runs in just two-thirds of an inning. Avilan also gave up three hits and two walks while striking out one batter during his stint. In his defense, all three games did come in the thin air of Denver, Colorado. As always, Coors Field can be quite treacherous.

It had been a rocky start to the season for him, but he should pick up the slack shortly as he gets back into the swing of things.

The full press release is below.
