The Minnesota Twins traded right-hander Brock Stewart to the Los Angeles Dodgers for outfielder James Outman, the teams announced Thursday.
Stewart owns a 2.38 ERA and 10.9 K/9 in 39 appearances for the Twins this season. He also ranks in the 89th percentile or higher in several pitching categories.
The 33-year-old will join a Dodgers bullpen that has five key relievers sidelined.
| PITCHER | INJURY |
|---|---|
| Brusdar Graterol | Shoulder surgery |
| Michael Grove | Shoulder surgery |
| Michael Kopech | Knee surgery |
| Evan Phillips | TJ surgery |
| Tanner Scott | Elbow inflammation |
Stewart pitched for Los Angeles between 2016 and 2019 after the team selected him in the sixth round of the 2014 draft.
The 28-year-old Outman finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2023 after hitting 23 homers and posting a .790 OPS. He's appeared in 22 games this season, hitting .103/.205/.282 with two homers and four RBIs.
