Despite the fact that the Los Angeles Dodgers are in first place in the National League West, they have officially released a pitcher.
Dave Roberts, the Dodgers’ manager, said in recent days that if Los Angeles were to make any moves, it would be in the bullpen.
Which pitcher did the Los Angeles Dodgers release?
The Dodgers officially released right-handed reliever Luis Garcia after designating him for assignment following his disappointing season with Los Angeles during the 2025 MLB season.
Luis Garcia’s disappointing numbers with the Dodgers
Luis Garcia made 28 relief appearances for the Dodgers, posting a 5.27 ERA in 27.1 innings. Injuries also eventually took their toll on the right-handed pitcher during his time in Los Angeles, which officially came to an end.
Who did the Dodgers trade for Luis Garcia?
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed reliever Noah Davis after designating Luis Garcia for assignment and in his only appearance so far he allowed 10 runs to the Houston Astros in just one and a third innings pitched and was optioned after that performance.
Dodgers’ need to strengthen their pitching
The Dodgers have both starting and relief pitchers injured, so it seems necessary for them to strengthen their pitching staff by the 2025 MLB trade deadline (July 31). Dominican starter Sandy Alcantara could be an option for the rotation, while Seth Halvorsen and Jake Bird, relievers for the Colorado Rockies, could be options for the bullpen.
