Dodgers Call Up New Trade Deadline Addition For Bullpen
The Los Angeles Dodgers are calling up right-handed reliever Seth Halvorsen from Triple-A Oklahoma City
The Los Angeles Dodgers have added right-handed reliever Seth Halvorsen to their bullpen, according to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. Halvorsen, who has not yet made his debut with the Dodgers, was acquired from the Colorado Rockies at the trade deadline in exchange for Rockies' pitcher Nick Frasso and outfielder Landyn Vidourek.
Halvorsen, who was drafted by Colorado in the seventh round of the 2023 MLB Draft, has shown promise this season with Oklahoma City, posting a 4.74 ERA and striking out 17 batters in 19 innings since the trade deadline. Meanwhile, the Dodgers' bullpen has struggled, ranking 15th in MLB with a 4.01 ERA collectively. Since the All-Star break, the team's ERA has dropped to a disappointing 4.91.
Seven relievers are currently on the injured list. Additional reinforcements, such as Charlie Barnes, who was claimed off waivers from the Rockies in May and later re-signed as a free agent, could provide the Dodgers with the necessary support to finish the regular season strong.
