Dodgers Release Right-Hander Nick Nastrini

High walk rates left little room on a deep pitching staff.

Overview

  • The Dodgers, according to MLB.com's transaction log Thursday, released right-hander Nick Nastrini.
  • In his lone Double-A Tulsa outing this season, he recorded no outs and walked all three batters he faced.
  • He debuted for the White Sox in 2024 and went 0-7 with a 7.07 ERA, issuing 36 walks against 26 strikeouts in 35.2 innings.
  • Last year at Triple-A he logged an 8.56 ERA in 47.1 innings across three organizations after waiver claims by the Marlins and then the Dodgers, and he walked 50 while striking out 49.
  • The release makes him a free agent eligible to sign with another club, with better command likely needed to reach the majors again.
