Dodgers adds Bullpen to Brock Stewart, from Twins, Fuentes

With the incorporation of Brock Stewart, from Twins, Dodgers fulfills the idea of reinforcing his bullpen with rights pitchers

Los Angeles Dodgers, who reached the deadline with the desire to strengthen their bullpen with right -handed pitchers, reached an agreement on Thursday to acquire Brock Stewart, from the Minnesota Twins, according to Fuentes to Jeff Passan of AM850.

The Dodgers will send the central gardener James Outman to the Twins as part of the exchange, according to a source to AM850.

Los Angeles has been interested in some of the most prominent and most potential reliefs in the change market in recent days and will probably continue to strengthen the final part of the Bullpen. For now, however, Stewart, originally selected by the Dodgers, brings the necessary depth to a group that leads the major leagues in entries thrown.

The 33 -year -old right pitcher was one of several pending free agents in the twin roster and has had one of his best seasons, registering an effectiveness of 2.38 with 41 strikeouts and 11 bases per ball in 34 entries. Originally selected in the sixth draft of the 2014 draft, Stewart had intermittent minutes in the Major Leagues, with the Dodgers, from 2016 to 2019. Then he returned to Los Angeles in 2020, won speed, he underwent a surgery Tommy John and resurfaced as a dominant relief from Minnesota in 2023.

Stewart joins the gardener Harrison Bader (Philadelphia Phillies), the Jhoan Duran (Phillies) closure, the opener Chris Paddack (Detroit Tigers) and the right pitcher Randy Dobnak (Tigers) among the players transferred on the twins. The Willi Castro Utility and the Griffin Jax coach are also expected to also be transferred before the deadline of 6:00 p.m., east time.

Outman, 28 years old, hit for .108, with two homers and four ranked races, in 22 games for the Dodgers this season.
