• Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Heading back to minors

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Sauer is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. Sauer was unable to prevent Washington from extending the lead during Monday's game, surrendering one run on three hits over 1.2 innings of work in his 2025 debut. His time with the big-league club won't last long, as the team has elected to option him to Triple-A to make room for Justin Wrobleski, who is set to start Tuesday.

• Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Called up from minors

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Sunday's game against the Phillies. Sauer was added to the 26-man active roster as a replacement for southpaw Blake Snell (shoulder), who landed on the injured list Sunday. The Dodgers will need to break in two new starters Tuesday and Wednesday versus the Nationals, and though Sauer made a three-inning start for Oklahoma City on April 2, he may not necessarily be the club's top choice to fill one of the openings in the rotation. Instead, Sauer will be available out of the bullpen Sunday and Monday before potentially getting cycled back to the minors.

  The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday. Sauer was included on the Dodgers' Tokyo Series roster, but he didn't make an appearance in either game versus the Cubs and will not be part of the active roster for his team's domestic opener. The 26-year-old will be used in Oklahoma City's bullpen.

• Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Selected to active roster

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  The Dodgers selected Sauer's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Sauer didn't perform that well during Cactus League play, giving up seven earned runs in 7.2 innings, but the Dodgers brought him to Japan nonetheless and have now added him to their active roster ahead of the second Tokyo Series game. With a 7.71 ERA in 14 career MLB appearances, the 26-year-old is likely to be used only in low-leverage situations, and there's a chance he heads back to Triple-A once the Dodgers' stateside schedule begins. To create roster space for Sauer, Justin Wrobleski was optioned to Oklahoma City, and Clayton Kershaw (toe) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

• Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Making trip to Tokyo

  03/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Dodgers informed Sauer on Friday that he will be part of the team's travel roster during the Tokyo Series versus the Cubs, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Over his four spring training appearances, Sauer has given up seven earned runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out eight batters over 7.2 innings. Despite his poor numbers, the Dodgers have liked what they've seen from the 26-year-old enough to give him a spot in their bullpen while in Japan. Sauer owns a 7.71 ERA over his 14 career MLB appearances, so he'll likely be used only in low-leverage situations.
