Pirates Reliever Camilo Doval Ejected in 7th Inning
Per Fabian Ardaya, Doval was apparently ejected in the top of the seventh, removing him from the Pirates' bullpen for the rest of the game.
Camilo Doval was apparently ejected in the top of the seventh inning, per Los Angeles Dodgers beat reporter Fabian Ardaya, leaving Pittsburgh without the reliever for the remainder of the game.
Ardaya's own hedge — "apparently" — means the precise circumstances remain unclear, and no club announcement has followed. What is not in doubt is the operational result: Doval was no longer available to Pittsburgh's bullpen once the ejection took effect.
What to watch
With Doval out of the picture for the final innings, Pittsburgh's remaining relievers would need to cover whatever work he might otherwise have handled. The broader bullpen picture is worth monitoring as the series continues.
