LOS ANGELES ― The Dodgers’ newest player is young enough to have seen Clayton Kershaw pitch at Dodger Stadium andFor 24-year-old Jonny DeLuca of Agoura Hills, his welcome-to-the-big-leagues moment came hours before he was officially promoted from Triple-A prior to Sunday’s game against the New York Yankees.DeLuca’s road to the major leagues was much like Kershaw’s: short.
“It still doesn’t feel real because it happened so quick,” DeLuca said. “The turnaround was last night. I got 3 hours’ sleep on a plane. I’m still trying to take in the moment and just enjoy it.” Thompson’s persistent struggles against left-handed pitchers were just beginning to rectify. He had three hits, including two homers, against Rays southpaw Josh Fleming last Sunday in Tampa Bay. He went 1-for-2 with a single against Washington Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin in his last start.
