Dodgers recall RHP Jack Little, option RHP Noah Davis
July 5 - The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled right-hander Jack Little and optioned right-hander Noah Davis. Little, 27, made his major league debut for the Dodgers on June 19th against the San Diego Padres. Across two innings, he allowed two runs, four hits, and one walk with one strikeout. At Triple-A Oklahoma City, Little has performed well this season, posting a 3.60 ERA and 33 strikeouts across 35 innings. He will now get his second shot at the MLB level. Davis, 28, is a more experienced option, appearing in 18 career games with the Colorado Rockies, before joining the Dodgers' organization this offseason. In his first four outings with the Dodgers, Davis surrendered three earned runs and four hits in 4 2/3 total innings. However, he had a rough outing on Friday, as the Houston Astros racked up 10 runs, including two homers, against him in only 1 1/3 innings. --Field Level Media

Dodgers Make Unexpected Announcement Before Padres Game
Dodgers Make Unexpected Announcement Before Padres Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to impress with an explosive start to the season, boasting a 46–29 record that has them sitting atop the NL West—four games ahead of the San Francisco Giants and six ahead of the San Diego Padres—while riding a five-game win streak. Advertisement Their offense has been nothing short of dominant, ranking first in MLB in runs per game at 5.6, first in batting average at .265, first in OPS at .801, and leading the league with 116 home runs. However, the pitching staff has struggled at times, as evidenced by their 21st-place ranking in ERA at 4.16—a statistic largely attributed to injuries affecting key starters including two-time Cy Young award winner Blake Snell, All-Star Tyler Glasnow, and rookie sensation Roki Sasaki. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts (30)Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images While the pitching staff battles numerous injury setbacks, reinforcements arrived on the mound with the return of Emmet Sheehan from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in May of 2024. In his appearance against the Padres, Sheehan pitched four innings, yielding just one run while registering six strikeouts. Advertisement Yet, in a surprising roster move just before the upcoming Padres game, the Dodgers made an unexpected announcement. "The Dodgers selected the contract of RHP Jack Little and optioned RHP Emmet Sheehan. In order to make room on the roster, the Dodgers transferred RHP Tony Gonsolin to the 60-day injured list." This move comes as a surprise, as Sheehan had been performing exceptionally well upon his return. After his appearance, he remarked that he had executed his pitches by not giving up any walks. Sheehan's journey with the Dodgers began when he was drafted in the sixth round out of Boston College in 2021. During his rookie year in 2023, he posted a 4–1 record, racking up 64 strikeouts while limiting opponents to a .210 batting average. That early success foreshadowed the potential he demonstrated before his Tommy John setback. Now, with his return generating optimism, many were anticipating a prominent role in the rotation. Advertisement With the roster adjustment that now brings Jack Little on to the active roster and places Tony Gonsolin on the 60-day IL, the Dodgers appear focused on maintaining pitching depth, while Sheehan returns to minor leagues to continue ramping up his pitch count.
