The southpaw helped Atlanta clinch the National League East title with an impressive showing, logging just his second save of the season and first since April 12 versus Cleveland. Dodd should continue to be a key high-leverage arm for Atlanta going forward, posting a 2.31 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB with 14 holds across 46.2 innings.

Pockets third win Dodd (3-1) picked up the win Sunday over the Nationals, striking out one in a perfect inning of relief.

Impact The southpaw took the mound for the fifth with the score tied 2-2 after starter JR Ritchie had lasted four innings, and Dodd was the pitcher of record when Atlanta took the lead for good in the bottom of the frame. Dodd has moved into a higher-leverage role since the beginning of July, posting a 1.42 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB over 12.2 innings and 13 appearances while collecting all three of his wins and six of his seven holds on the year.

Impact The 28-year-old southpaw set down the top of St. Louis' order on 14 pitches (nine strikes), punctuating his performance with a strikeout of Alec Burleson. Dodd is adjusting well to a full-time relief role, albeit a low-leverage one, and through 22 innings over 17 big-league appearances this season he's delivered a 2.45 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB.

Back from injured list Atlanta reinstated Dodd (back) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact The left-hander has been on the shelf nearly a month due to left thoracic spine inflammation, but he's ready to rejoin the active roster after a three-appearance rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett. Dodd allowed one earned run with a 4:1 K:BB over four innings for Atlanta prior to the injury and should work as a middle reliever that can also provide some length out of the bullpen.

Dodd has made two appearances with Atlanta this season, giving up one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four batters over four innings.

Officially placed on injured list Atlanta placed Dodd on the 15-day injured list Thursday with left thoracic spine inflammation.

Impact Atlanta has not provided a timetable for Dodd's return, but the nature of the injury suggests it could be a longer than minimum stay on the IL for the lefty. Dodd has been effective in two relief outings with the big club this season, allowing one run with a 4:1 K:BB over four innings.

Bound for IL Atlanta will place Dodd on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a back strain, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Impact Dodd was summoned from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday and gave up an earned run in his appearance against Washington, but he seems to have come away from his outing with a back issue. He'll spend at least a couple of weeks on the injured list as a result, and Carlos Carrasco will come up from Triple-A to round out Atlanta's bullpen.
