"The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Yency Almonte to a Minor League contract and have brought him into Major League Spring Training. This marks a return to the Dodgers' organization for Almonte, who also spent 2022-23 with L.A. and posted the best year of his career in his first season with them. During the 2022 season, Almonte posted a 1.02 ERA in 35.1 innings while striking out 24.4% of hitters and walking 7.4%."
"Almonte has been with the Chicago Cubs organization for the last two years, but the right-hander has not pitched in the Majors since the 2024 season, when he posted a 3.45 ERA in 15.2 innings. He also missed much of that year with a right shoulder strain and landed on the 60-day injured list in June, which ended his season. Prior to joining the Dodgers, Almonte spent the first four seasons of his career with the Colorado Rockies, throwing 124 innings with a 5.30 ERA."
"In his career, Almonte owns a 4.44 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP in 223 innings while striking out 22.5% of hitters and walking 9.9%. He joins the Dodgers looking to compete for a spot in a crowded bullpen, but will most likely start the year in Triple-A. Almonte should still get a chance to pitch at the MLB level again this season given how the Dodgers cycle through relievers, as long as he stays in the organization following Spring Training."
Yency Almonte signed a Minor League contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers and received a Major League Spring Training invite. He spent 2022–23 with the Dodgers, posting a 1.02 ERA in 35.1 innings in 2022 before regressing to a 5.06 ERA in 48 innings the next year. He then spent two seasons in the Chicago Cubs organization and has not pitched in the majors since 2024, when he posted a 3.45 ERA in 15.2 innings while missing much of that season with a right shoulder strain. Career totals include a 4.44 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and a 22.5% strikeout rate in 223 innings. He will likely start in Triple-A but could return to the majors if healthy.
