Overview
- Irvin, 32, agreed to a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, according to multiple reports.
- He returns from the KBO’s Doosan Bears, where he logged 28 starts and a 4.48 ERA over 144 2/3 innings in 2025.
- The left-hander owns a 4.54 ERA across 593 MLB innings with the Phillies, Athletics, Orioles and Twins, profiling more as a control-and-contact arm than a strikeout pitcher.
- Reports indicate he is expected to open in the minors and could be considered for long-relief or spot-start duties if needed.
- The signing follows the Dodgers’ headline additions of Edwin Diaz and Kyle Tucker as the club layers veteran pitching options after last season’s injury challenges.
