Yates has been on the injured list since the end of July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Dodgers placed Yates on the 15-day injured list Friday due to lower back pain, retroactive to July 29. Yates hasn&#8217;t made an appearance since this past Saturday against the Red Sox, and that absence was due to a back injury. He&#8217;s been a steady presence out of the Dodgers&#8217; bullpen,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/fantasy\/baseball\/news\/dodgers-kirby-yates-shelved-with-lower-back-pain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS Sports wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please enable cookies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":81040,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
