Righty reliever Scott Proctor underwent elbow surgery recently which should have him ready for the 2009 season. Proctor is a Torre favorite since his days with the Yankees. Proctor pitched in 41 games (0 starts) for the Dodgers last season and he was 2-0 with a 6.05 ERA and a 1.68 WHIP. In parts of two seasons with the Dodgers, Proctor has pitched in 72 games (0 starts) in which he is 5-0 with a 4.84 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP. The Dodgers need Proctor healthy in 2008 to help them early in games as he has been a workhorse in the past.
