The Los Angeles Dodgers will get to add another arm to their bullpen soon. Right-handed reliever Michael Kopech<\/a> will return as the additional pitcher when September arrives, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Kopech, who is rehabbing at Triple-A Oklahoma City, will be the tandem addition next week when the Dodgers roster expands to 28. Infielder-outfielder Hyeseong Kim<\/a> will be the position player who rejoins the roster<\/a>. The right-hander is eligible to come off the 60-day injured list today.<\/p>\n
