BREAKING NEWS Injury-stricken Los Angeles Dodgers trade for pitcher Will Klein after Evan Phillips was ruled out for season
The Los Angeles Dodgers desperately need some help in the bullpen, with 15 pitchers currently on the injured list. A reinforcement arrived Monday, but it was a surprising name as the World Series holders acquired right-hander Will Klein in a trade with the Seattle Mariners, sending minor league left-hander Joe Jacques the other way. Klein, 25, has eight career major league appearances, all last season for the Kansas City Royals and Oakland Athletics when he had an 11.05 ERA in 7 1/3 innings of relief. He had a 7.17 ERA in 22 appearances at Triple-A Tacoma this season. Those numbers might not spark huge excitement among the fanbase of the World Series winners, especially with their bullpen besieged by injuries at present. Last Friday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that reliever Evan Phillips was ruled out until deep into 2026 with an elbow issue that requires Tommy John surgery. 'It's surprising,' Roberts said, shortly before his team played the New York Yankees. 'More disappointed for Evan, but he just wasn't responding to the rest and then [trying] to ramp back up. 'Ultimately, that was kind of the advice and the route he decided to go.' The Dodgers added Klein and right-hander Ryan Loutos to the active roster in advance of Monday's series opener at home against the New York Mets, while right-hander Noah Davis was optioned to the minor leagues and right-hander Chris Stratton was designated for assignment. Loutos, 26, was recalled after he had one appearance with the Dodgers earlier this season, when he gave up two runs in one inning. He had three appearances with the St. Louis Cardinals last season and has a career 5.40 ERA in 3 1/3 innings. Davis, 28, had a 5.79 ERA in four relief appearances with the Dodgers this season, while Stratton, 34, had a 6.00 ERA in two relief appearances for Los Angeles. Jacques, 30, is 2-1 with a 5.46 ERA and one save in 25 career games (one start) with the Boston Red Sox (2023-24) and Arizona Diamondbacks (2024).

Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips to undergo Tommy John surgery and miss rest of the season
Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips will have Tommy John surgery next week and miss the rest of the season in the latest blow to the World Series champion's pitching staff. "Evan tried to play catch a couple days ago when we were on the road and it didn't go well, so he's going to get Tommy John surgery on the 4th," manager Dave Roberts said Friday. "Unfortunately that's going to be season-ending." The 30-year-old right-hander had been out the last three weeks because of forearm discomfort. He didn't progress in his recovery despite what had been anticipated to be a short stint on the injured list. "It's surprising, more disappointed for Evan," Roberts said, "but he just wasn't responding to the rest and then tried to ramp back up and so ultimately, that was kind of the advice." Phillips began the season on the IL while recovering from a partially torn rotator cuff he sustained in the playoffs last year. He returned in late April and made seven scoreless appearances before getting hurt during the Dodgers' trip to Miami earlier in May. The Dodgers' staff has been riddled by injuries this season. Starters Blake Snell (shoulder inflammation), Tyler Glasnow (shoulder inflammation) and Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki (shoulder impingement) are on the IL. Shohei Ohtani is at least 1 1/2 months away from pitching in a game while rehabbing from 2023 surgery. He's expected to face hitters for the second time this weekend. Relievers Blake Treinen (forearm tightness) and Michael Kopech (shoulder impingement) are sidelined. Phillips was 5-1 with a 3.62 ERA and 63 strikeouts in 54 2/3 innings last season. He is 15-9 with a 2.28 ERA in 194 games since coming to the Dodgers five years ago. He previously played for Atlanta, Baltimore and Tampa Bay.

He previously played for Atlanta, Baltimore and Tampa Bay. Mookie Betts is also out of the Dodgers' lineup against the New York Yankees with an injured left toe. Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that the shortstop was having X-rays and is day-to-day. Roberts said Betts "stubbed his toe, not exactly sure how" after the Dodgers returned from their road trip. "It's just kind of an accident." "I feel confident saying it's day-to-day," Roberts added, "but putting on a shoe today was difficult for him." The manager said Betts was available to pinch hit in the series opener against Aaron Judge and the Yankees in the rematch of last year's World Series, won by the Dodgers. Betts' mishap was reminiscent of first baseman Freddie Freeman slipping in the shower at home in April. He aggravated his surgically repaired right ankle and missed nine games. "It just keeps coming," Roberts said, referring to the team's string of injuries, especially to the pitching staff. "It's Murphy's law, but yeah, this is a weird one." The Dodgers' staff has been riddled by injuries this season. Starters Blake Snell (shoulder inflammation), Tyler Glasnow (shoulder inflammation) and Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki (shoulder impingement) are on the IL.
