Overview
- The Dodgers agreed Monday to acquire right‑hander Seth Halvorsen from the Colorado Rockies for righty Nick Frasso and outfielder Landyn Vidourek.
- Halvorsen is on the 15‑day injured list with right shoulder inflammation and tossed a scoreless inning on a Triple‑A rehab outing before the trade, and Los Angeles plans to option him to Triple‑A Oklahoma City to continue his rehab.
- The 26‑year‑old is one of baseball’s hardest throwers, averaging near 99 mph on his fastball, but he has struggled with command this season with 15 walks in 19 big‑league innings and a history of elevated walk and homer rates.
- Frasso, 27, has not yet reached the majors and spent 2026 in Triple‑A after shoulder surgery, while Vidourek, 22, is a recent third‑round pick who has struggled in Single‑A this year with an average near .170.
- Teams framed the swap as a pre‑deadline depth move that gives the Dodgers bullpen reinforcements if Halvorsen returns to health and provides the Rockies with prospect depth as new GM Josh Byrnes begins roster turnover.
