Formerly of the Twins, as recently as last season, Brock Stewart has been activated just in time for the Dodgers’ three-game set against Minnesota. Making room for Stewart’s presence on the roster—freshly recovered from a bone spur on his left foot—the Dodgers sent down right-hander Chayce McDermott.
McDermott’s latest stint on the big league club was short-lived, with the right-hander only appearing in one game, Sunday’s blowout, filling in as a sort of bridge between Treinen’s IL placement and Stewart’s
readiness to return to the fold.
Stewart is brought up having appeared in just 5.2 innings, two of them this year, since the Dodgers reacquired him last season for James Outman in a straight swap with the Twins. With Treinen out, Los Angeles will hope to rely on Stewart as another high-leverage arm for this bullpen. The right-hander tossed a couple of scoreless frames with three strikeouts for the big league club in early May this season.
