As of September 3, 2026, pitcher Jake Cousins has commenced a rehab assignment with the Oklahoma City Comets, the AAA affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Cousins, who is 32 years old, was placed on the 60-day injured list in April 2026 and subsequently signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers in March 2026.
Cousins possesses four years of Major League Baseball experience, most recently with the New York Yankees in 2024. During his tenure with the Yankees, he achieved his best season, recording a 2.37 ERA over 38 innings pitched with 53 strikeouts. His career MLB ERA stands at 2.78 across 90.2 total innings, with his first three seasons spent with the Milwaukee Brewers. Injuries have impacted his career path.
Following his departure from the Yankees after the 2025 season, Cousins entered free agency before signing with the Dodgers. It remains uncertain if the Dodgers view him as a potential addition to their major league pitching staff for the current season.
