ERA in five games through June 10 before going on the disabled list again, this time not returning until July 17. His ERA rose to 10.54 on August 5 before Worrell posted a 2.74 ERA over his next 20 games. From September 14 through 22, he converted four saves in five opportunities while Gott was resting with an injured shoulder. Worrell made 35 appearances for the Dodgers in 1993, posting a 1–1 record, a 6.05 ERA, 31 strikeouts, 11 walks, and 46 hits allowed in innings pitched. He converted five saves but blew three. A 1993 article by the Los Angeles Daily News called him "perhaps the biggest free-agent bust in baseball this season." 1994 In 1994, Worrell was set to assume his role as the closer. However, he went on the disabled list in May and missed 17 games with a rib-cage pull. After pitching a scoreless inning in his return on May 24, he blew saves in two straight games, then was pulled from a game on May 29 with one out in the ninth after allowing a walk and a single. A disappointed Worrell said after the game, "I guess the only way I can respond is to say I've never been taken out of a game before as the stopper. The job of the stopper always has been you win or lose with him. At least, that's the way I've been handled in the past." After that comment, he stopped talking to reporters for about a month. On August 8, after pitching in three straight games, Worrell entered a game against the Colorado Rockies in the ninth inning with the Dodgers leading 6–3. He allowed three runs before getting removed, and Gott allowed another one of his runners to score, giving him the loss as Colorado won 7–6. After the game, Worrell finally spoke to reporters again but was critical, saying, "If you knew anything about baseball, you wouldn’t have to hide behind players' quotes." In 38 games, Worrell had a 6–5 record, a 4.29 ERA, 44 strikeouts, 12 walks, and 37 hits allowed in 42 innings. He converted 11 saves but blew eight as well. 1995 In 1995, Worrell opened the year with a scoreless streak, not allowing a run until July. Counting his final game of the 1994 season, he threw scoreless innings, a streak not broken until he gave up a two-run home
