He struggled in a mop-up situation last night, but he threw just 16 pitches. Belisario's save was his first of the year after 21 holds. He's been a big asset with his 2.75 ERA in 52 1/3 innings this season.

Belisario is out of options, so he'd have to pass through waivers if the Dodgers try to send him to the minors.

Dodgers reinstated RHP Ronald Belisario from the restricted list. Belisario missed all of the 2011 season while receiving treatment for a substance abuse problem. He's still required to serve a 25-game suspension this year but should be ready to join the Dodgers' bullpen soon after.
