RHP Jair Jurrjens, Dodgers (restricted list)
Remember Jair Jurrjens? It’s OK if you don’t — his Orioles career consisted of two forgettable games, one month apart, in 2013. Coming off a knee injury, he showed little of the velocity that once made him an All-Star. He last pitched in the majors in 2014.
This year, the 31-year-old Jurrjens looked like he might be on his way to a renaissance. His performance for Team Netherlands in the 2017 World Baseball Classic — a 2.38 ERA in three games — earned him a minor league deal with the Dodgers. But on June 15, Jurrjens received an 80-game suspension for a positive drug test, putting his career back in limbo.
