Cole Irvin's return to the majors lasted exactly one game. The Dodgers needed someone to eat innings in a bullpen game against the Red Sox. Irvin did exactly that, throwing six innings while allowing six runs on eight hits. The next day, with the bullpen needing a fresh arm, Irvin was designated for assignment. That is the reality of the role Irvin was called up for — absorb innings, spare the bullpen, get DFA'd.
