On Saturday, the Dodgers selected the contract of right-hander John Ely from Triple-A Albuquerque as roster limits expanded from 25 to 40. John pitched for the Muskies in 2004 and 2005. Ely returns to the Dodgers after a stellar season in the Pacific Coast League that earned him PCL Pitcher of the Year honors. The 26-year-old had 14 wins, a 3.20 ERA and 165 strikeouts with the Albuquerque Isotopes this season. He led the PCL in strikeouts and ERA and he was tied for first in wins entering Saturday. He has gone 4-11 with a 5.35 ERA in 23 MLB games (19 starts) since debuting in 2010.
