"This signing gives the Dodgers another right-handed relief arm - an area they made sure to reinforce during the offseason. Middleton last featured in MLB for the New York Yankees in 2023, and spent 2024 in the minors before playing in an independent league in 2025."
"Throughout his seven-year MLB career, Middleton has a 3.84 ERA through 205 appearances, and has struck out 199 batters in 194.1 innings pitched. Other than the Yankees and Angels, he has featured for the Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago White Sox."
"The Dodgers' bullpen situation is odd at the moment, as some of their bigger names will begin the season on the injured list. Right-handers Evan Phillips and Brock Stewart will both miss Opening Day, leaving Edwin Diaz, Blake Treinen, Will Klein, Edgardo Henriquez, Ben Casparius and Brusdar Graterol as the only healthy right-handers on the roster."
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed right-handed relief pitcher Keynan Middleton to a minor league contract, adding depth to their bullpen. Middleton last played in MLB for the New York Yankees in 2023 and spent 2024 in the minors before playing in an independent league. The signing addresses the Dodgers' need for right-handed relief arms, particularly with key relievers Evan Phillips and Brock Stewart beginning the season on the injured list. Throughout his seven-year MLB career spanning five teams, Middleton has posted a 3.84 ERA across 205 appearances with 199 strikeouts. A strong spring training performance could position him as insurance for the Dodgers' bullpen.
