The Dodgers have bolstered their pitching staff by selecting the contract of veteran lefty Irvin from Triple-A Oklahoma City. This roster move occurred on Friday, August 1, 2026, filling the void left by Brock Stewart, who is now on the injured list due to a shoulder ailment. Irvin, aged 32, makes his return to Major League Baseball after last appearing in an MLB game in 2024.
During his time with Oklahoma City this season, Irvin has posted a respectable 3.49 earned run average and a 1.55 walks plus hits per inning pitched across 98 innings pitched. While he has been utilized exclusively as a starter in the minor leagues throughout 2026, his role with the major league club is anticipated to be in long relief.
