Yesterday, the Los Angeles Dodgers outrighted right-handed pitcher Connor Brogdon to Triple-A after clearing waivers, removing him from the 40-man roster.
With the conclusion of the 2024 Major League Baseball season and the start of the 2025 offseason, all players on the injured list were officially reinstated, including those on the 60-day injured list, and placed back on the 40-man roster.
Due to Brogdon’s lack of minor league options, I suggested that the righty could be a candidate to be non-tendered by the Dodgers, as that deadline is set for November 22nd.
Brogdon had decent career numbers, posting a 3.97 ERA in 145.0 innings pitched, but took a steep decline in production for the 2024 season. In a few appearances for the Phillies and Dodgers this year, Brogdon had an outlandish 24.00 ERA, 24.50 FIP, 12.0 HR/9, and an 18.0 BB/9.
Brogdon made only one appearance for the Dodgers on April 4th in a game against the Minnesota Twins, where the righty allowed two home runs in one inning with no strikeouts in one inning of work on twenty-one pitches.
Shortly after that appearance, the Dodgers placed Brogdon on the 15-day injured list with right plantar fasciitis, which ended his regular season after he was transferred to the 60-day injured list in the coming weeks.
Brogdon did attempt two minor league rehab assignments, ending the minor league year with a 3.21 ERA in fourteen innings pitched, collecting twenty-one strikeouts and only allowing five walks.
With Brogdon outrighted, the Dodgers’ 40-man roster currently has thirty-seven players, leaving three open spots for potential free agents. However, another option could be for the Dodgers to add any players who are Rule-5 draft eligible and would like to be added to the roster before the draft, which takes place on December 11th during the MLB Winter Meetings.
