[情報] Kuo明天可能會上來測投一局.

[gpanda (what)]

SAN FRANCISCO -- Greg Maddux, whose postseason role has yet to be determined,
will start for the Dodgers on Saturday night, and Chad Billingsley is also
scheduled to pitch a couple of innings before his Game 2 start in the
playoffs Thursday.

But the appearance that could have the biggest bearing on the postseason
might come from Hong-Chih Kuo.

The reliever with the golden, but brittle, left arm was able to play catch
without discomfort Friday and manager Joe Torre said he was hopeful he could

use Kuo for an inning Saturday in what would be a critical opportunity to
judge whether he's healthy enough to be on the postseason roster.

Kuo has pitched only once in the last three weeks because of stiffness in the
triceps area above the elbow that has undergone four operations, two of them
Tommy John ligament reconstructions.

Kuo's absence again was noticeable Friday night, when the Dodgers let a
ninth-inning lead get away. It was the third blown save for Jonathan Broxton
since he took over as closer when Takashi Saito was injured in mid-July. The
Dodgers bullpen allowed all six runs in 6 2/3 innings of relief.

Torre said that because of Kuo's status, and with Saito still not at 100
percent after missing two months with a torn elbow ligament, he's decided to
take an 11-man pitching staff into the postseason.

For that reason, and assuming he keeps Jeff Kent as a pinch-hitter, he
expects to take a look at Pablo Ozuna in the outfield Saturday. Ozuna could
sneak onto the club if he shows the versatility to play both the infield and
outfield. He's already been tested at second base.
