Overview

  • The Dodgers claimed left-hander Charlie Barnes off waivers from the Cubs and opened a 40-man roster spot by shifting Tommy Edman to the 60-day injured list.
  • Barnes has logged most of this season at Triple-A Iowa with a 3.04 ERA in seven games, and he made one MLB outing for Chicago with three earned runs over three innings.
  • The 30-year-old debuted with the Twins in 2021, then posted a 3.58 ERA across 94 starts for the Lotte Giants in Korea, giving Los Angeles a starter with extensive pro experience.
  • Los Angeles is light on healthy 40-man starting options with Tyler Glasnow on the injured list because of back spasms and Blake Snell just returning, leaving Jake Eder as the lone ready starter before this move.
  • Edman’s 60-day designation is retroactive to his season-opening stint on the injured list, so he could be eligible to return in late May, though Dave Roberts said his sprint work is not yet where it needs to be.
