The veteran revealed he will miss "a month or two" to start 2026. The Baltimore Orioles took a closer off the market on Saturday, signing Ryan Helsley to a two-year contract. The Dodgers had interest in Helsley at the trade deadline, but distanced themselves from the closer following a horrendous second half of the season."

Kiké Hernández underwent elbow surgery in November and will miss the first month or two of the 2026 season. Surgeons expected an extensor release but found the tendon torn completely off the bone. The Baltimore Orioles signed reliever Ryan Helsley to a two-year contract after Dodgers interest faded following Helsley’s poor second half. An MLB executive identified Tyler Glasnow as a likely trade candidate and suggested the Dodgers could sustain a five-man rotation while trading him to address roster needs. Reports link the Dodgers to Sung-Mun Song from Korea for third-base development, and Teoscar Hernández expressed interest in the World Baseball Classic.
