Dodgers Activate Landon Knack From 60-Day Injured List

The move gives Los Angeles a versatile bullpen or spot-start option as the club manages short-term health and performance needs.

Overview

Landon Knack was reinstated to the Dodgers’ active roster on Saturday after a months-long rehab from a right intercostal strain and a three-game tune-up at Triple-A Oklahoma City.
To clear roster space for Knack, the Dodgers optioned right-hander Kyle Hurt to Triple-A to reset his development after a 4.88 ERA across 31.1 major-league innings this season.
Left-hander Charlie Barnes was designated for assignment to open a 40-man spot, which starts the waiver clock for other teams to claim him.
Right-hander Wyatt Mills was exposed to waivers as part of the corresponding moves after compiling a 6.23 ERA in five appearances, removing him from the Dodgers’ 40-man roster.
Knack’s recent seven innings at Triple-A (three runs, 10 strikeouts, 3.86 ERA) and his 2025 big-league experience make him a multi-inning relief option or spot starter that helps the club cover rotation gaps and late-inning needs.
