Dodgers Claim Alec Asher, Designate Zach Neal

By Jeff Todd | April 5, 2018 at 2:02pm CDT

The Dodgers have claimed righty Alec Asher off waivers from the Orioles, per a club announcement. Fellow right-hander Michael Kelly, who was also recently designated for assignment, has cleared waivers and been outrighted by the O’s. To clear a 40-man spot for Asher, the Dodgers have designated righty Zach Neal.

Asher and Kelly were each late-spring roster casualties for the O’s. The former is a 26-year-old swingman who has not yet found much success in the majors. In his 170 1/3 innings at Triple-A, though, he owns a useful 3.75 RA with 6.4 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9. Obviously, the Dodgers see something they like.

As for the 29-year-old Neal, he recently had his contract selected and appeared in one inning at the MLB level. The former Athletics hurler had joined the Dodgers on a minors pact. In his 85 2/3 lifetime innings at the game’s highest level, Neal owns a 4.94 ERA with an unusual mix of 3.9 K/9 and 0.7 BB/9.

      Dont understand why this got 1 downvote. Even w/o typo, This would still be funny, because Dodgers utilize waivers more than any other club.

          Women give two snots, huh? I guess men in need of overcompensation just fart out whatever they want, because it makes the brain feel good.

          Just giving props to what I thought was a clever-worded post. I wanted his critic to explain Y. I never thought I’d get a response. But guess we know who. Women? Oh the irony (Compare our posts, and go with your stereotype)

          Oh no did I get downvotes? Oh that’s right I don’t care so I didn’t check…I guess there are men (biologically anyways) that care about that kind of stuff too, sorry about the stereotype

    Dodgers should have claimed Trayce again, just to complete the cycle.

      I’m guessing just about anyone but a LF. They’re on a pace for 100 players claimed/released this season.
