GLENDALE, Ariz. — Right-handed pitcher Josh Ravin broke the radius bone in his left forearm in an automobile accident and will undergo surgery today, the Dodgers announced.
Ravin, 28, was alone in his car Monday when the multi-vehicle crash occurred, according to Dodgers public relations director Joe Jareck. The West Hills native was limited at the outset of camp by the flu and strep throat, which caused him to lose 15 pounds. But he was on the mend and threw a bullpen Monday morning.
Ravin made his major league debut with the Dodgers last season and appeared in nine games, going 2-1 with a 6.75 ERA in 9 1/3 innings out of the bullpen. In 22 appearances at Triple-A Oklahoma City, Ravin went 3-1 with a 3.86 ERA. He finished the season on the 60-day disabled list with a sports hernia.
Last October, Ravin’s older brother Joel was shot five times in West Hills but survived.
Monday evening, Josh Ravin wrote an ominous message on his Twitter account: “It can ALWAYS be worse.#blessed”
