Penny pushed to the 'pen

In what's become a trend this season with pitchers like Chris Carpenter and Joba Chamberlain, among others, returning from injury to throw in the pen, Brad Penny is next in line to do so.

It's a creative move by the Dodgers, who've gotten good pitching from a number of different sources. Using Penny in the 'pen makes Los Angeles that much tougher late in games.
