NEW YORK (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers signed pitcher Chris Stratton on Sunday and immediately put him in the bullpen for their series finale against the New York Mets.
Stratton was released by the Kansas City Royals last Thursday after compiling a 7.94 ERA in 12 appearances spanning 17 innings this season. The right-hander gave the Dodgers a fresh arm after their bullpen was taxed Friday night in a rain-delayed victory over the Mets that lasted 13 innings.

The 34-year-old Stratton is 41-27 with a 4.63 ERA in 371 games, including 42 starts, over 10 major league seasons with San Francisco (2016-18), the Los Angeles Angels (2019), Pittsburgh (2019-22), St. Louis (2022-23), Texas (2023) and Kansas City (2024-25).

Blue Jays third baseman Ernie Clement leaves game in 9th after banging knee diving for a grounder

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Blue Jays third baseman Ernie Clement left in the ninth inning Wednesday against St. Louis after banging his knee in the eighth when he dove for a grounder. Clement needed some attention but finished the inning. He was replaced in the field by Addison Barger for the ninth, and Toronto beat the Cardinals 5-2. After the game, in an on-field interview with broadcaster Sportsnet, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said: 'Ernie's a hockey player. He should be fine. We just wanted to be careful with him and not make it worse.' Clement had three hits, including his fourth homer of the season that gave Toronto a 5-2 lead in the fifth. He raised his batting average to .280 for the season. ___ AP MLB:
