Dodgers Option Seth Halvorsen After One-Inning Debut

The club recalled Landon Knack to shore up short-term bullpen rest and roster flexibility despite Halvorsen’s effective outing.

Overview

  • Seth Halvorsen, who made his Dodgers debut on Tuesday, Aug. 11, threw one scoreless extra-inning frame, totaling 11 pitches with seven strikes and earning the win.
  • Los Angeles announced on Wednesday that it recalled right-hander Landon Knack and optioned Halvorsen back to Triple-A Oklahoma City as the corresponding roster move.
  • Halvorsen was acquired from the Colorado Rockies on July 20 and had worked six scoreless innings with Triple-A Oklahoma City after the trade, striking out eight batters.
  • The Dodgers framed the change as a bullpen-management decision to preserve rest and flexibility while they try to stabilize late-inning relief work.
  • Halvorsen remains in the Dodgers’ organization and can be recalled again, while Knack’s return gives the team a more experienced arm for the immediate series finale and short-term relief needs.
