League (shoulder) was released by the Dodgers on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports.
League has been sidelined for the entirety of the 2015 season, and it appears the Dodgers have grown impatient with him.

League (shoulder) will pitch in a minor league game Sunday as part of a rehab assignment, the Los Angeles Times' Dylan Hernandez reports.
This will be his first appearance in a minor league game this season, and it is a big step in the recovery process for him. He will still probably be out until at least mid-to-late June, and won't pitch in high-leverage situations when he does return to the Dodgers' bullpen.

League (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Sunday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
It's only an initial step in the recovery process for League, who was placed on the 15-day DL in early April due to a shoulder impingement before ultimately being shuttled to the 60-day DL. He's not expected to be an option out of the Dodgers' bullpen until sometime in June at the earliest.
Sun Apr 26 201515:07League (shoulder) transferred to 60-day disabled list Sunday
League (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Sunday.

Legue is expected to miss at least the first month or two of the season, and it's possible he could eventually land on the 60-day disabled list. If he eventually joins the bullpen, it will likely just be in a middle-relief role.

Manager Don Mattingly indicated Friday that League (shoulder) will miss at least a couple of months, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
League's shoulder issue is apparently serious, and he he will be shut down for three weeks.

When he does return, he'll likely serve in a middle relief role for the Angels.

League will undergo a contrast MRI Wednesday, but hasn't displayed improvement in his shoulder since receiving an injection last week. He reportedly didn't feel right following a bullpen session Tuesday, and a DL stint appears to be on tap for him to begin the season. He'll likely serve in a middle relief role with the club once he returns from the injury.

League (shoulder) reported that his shoulder feels fine and will test it playing catch on Thursday, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports. He expects to be ready for Opening Day.

League experienced a setback with his sore shoulder Sunday and will be shut down for "several additional days", MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports.
This may very well mean that League begins the year on the 15-day disabled list. He was a longshot to close anyway with Kenley Jansen (foot) sidelined.
Wed Feb 18 201513:28League could be dark horse candidate for saves early in season g...
League could be a dark horse candidate for saves early in the season given the injury to Kenley Jansen (foot).
It's probably more likely that League winds himself in lower leverage situations, but we'll have to see how things sort out in March. League lucked into a 2.57 ERA last year after posting a mediocre 1.4 K/BB.
