The Dodgers optioned Heaney to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. Heaney had his contract selected Saturday and threw two innings of relief in his team debut, allowing three earned runs on four hits and one walk. Since Heaney wouldn't have been available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Mariners, the Dodgers opted to call up Landon Knack from Triple-A to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen.

Heaney agreed to a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Heaney was officially released by the Pirates over the weekend and has quickly caught on in a new organization. The left-hander will be assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City for the time being, giving the Dodgers some swingman depth. Heaney posted a 5.39 ERA and 84:39 K:BB over 120.1 innings covering 23 starts and three relief outings for Pittsbugh.

Heaney cleared waivers Saturday and was released by the Pirates, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports. Pittsburgh designated Heaney for assignment Tuesday, and the combination of his $5.25 million salary and 5.39 ERA through 120.1 frames this season makes it unsurprising that he went unclaimed on waivers. The 34-year-old southpaw will now attempt to latch on with another team, and he will need to do so before Monday in order to be eligible for the postseason.

The Pirates designated Heaney for assignment Tuesday. Heaney was demoted to the bullpen earlier this month and will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster one day after allowing five earned runs while recording just two outs in a relief appearance in St. Louis. The veteran southpaw maintained a 3.33 ERA in his first 14 starts this season, so he could land on his feet somewhere, but Heaney's $5.25 million salary means he'll likely pass through waivers first before electing free agency.

Heaney (5-10) took the loss Monday against the Brewers, allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out three. It was Heaney's third straight start with fewer than five innings, and he gave up at least five runs for the fifth time in his last 10 outings. The veteran left-hander has thrown at least five frames on just just two occasions over that latter period, during which he owns a hideous 8.19 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB across 40.2 innings. With a difficult task at Wrigley Field against the Cubs on tap for this weekend, Heaney doesn't set up as the most attractive streaming option for his next appearance.
