Dodgers Designate Kevin Quackenbush For Assignment

By Steve Adams | August 12, 2021 at 9:31am CDT

The Dodgers have recalled righty Mitch White from Triple-A Oklahoma City and opened a spot on the roster by designating right-hander Kevin Quackenbush for assignment, tweets Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.

Quackenbush returned to the big leagues for the for the first time since 2018 recently but appeared in just one game with Los Angeles. The 32-year-old surrendered a run on three hits in one third of an inning.

While it obviously wasn’t a great outing for Quackenbush, the former Reds and Padres righty has been nothing short of dominant in Triple-A this year. He’s tallied 29 1/3 innings and pitched to a pristine 0.61 ERA, striking out 25.7 percent of his opponents against an 11.6 percent walk rate. That success in Triple-A at least creates the possibility that another club in need of bullpen depth will claim Quackenbush. It’s been several years since he was a consistently successful big league reliever, but from 2014-16 he did toss 172 1/3 innings of 3.50 ERA ball out of the Padres’ bullpen.

    Got 1/3 of an inning to prove himself and didn’t come through. That’s what happens.

    I’m sure someone will take a flyer on him. I’m a Dodger fan, and to be honest, I am soooooo tired of the running these guys for 1-3 outings. I get it. Friedman is manipulating the Injured List to save arms for the playoffs but it’s freakin’ ridiculous! These guys are being used and abused with no real hope of hanging on.

      I sure hear this, but honestly with so much meat being shoved through the grinder, I’m not sure which arms he’s trying to save anymore. It also must drive the catchers a little crazy having to work out with someone new every week only to have them disappear a few days later.

      Unfortunately this could very well happen, but I’d guess two, three days, max.

    His fastball was topping out at 88. His control was iffy. Curve was so so. Have no idea how he succeeded even at AAA.

      35 base runners allowed in 29 innings, I don’t think even he knows why he had an 0.65 ERA in AAA
