  The Dodgers designated Erlin for assignment Wednesday. Erlin's stay with the big club lasted just four days after the Dodgers summoned him from Triple-A Oklahoma City in advance of Saturday's doubleheader with the Cubs. He made two appearances out of the bullpen for Los Angeles, giving up two earned runs across two innings. If Erlin is able to clear waivers, he'll likely slot back into the rotation at Oklahoma City.

  Erlin's contract was selected by the Dodgers and he will serve as the 27th man in Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

• Dodgers' Robbie Erlin: Returns stateside with Dodgers

  02/22/2022 • By RotoWire

  Erlin signed last week with the Dodgers on a minor-league contract, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports. The 31-year-old lefty will make his return to affiliated ball after spending the 2021 campaign in Japan with the Nippon-Ham Fighters, with whom he appeared in 11 games while submitting a 3.32 ERA and 20.5 percent strikeout rate over 38 innings. Erlin previously saw big-league action over parts of seven seasons from 2013 through 2020 with San Diego, Atlanta and Pittsburgh, compiling a lifetime 4.85 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 14.4 K-BB% across 339.2 innings. Though he has experience both starting and relieving at the MLB level, Erlin is expected to serve as organizational bullpen depth at Triple-A Oklahoma City for the Dodgers.
