• Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Begins conversion to short relief

  09/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Sheehan didn't factor into the decision Friday, getting the start but working only one inning in a 3-2 victory over the Mariners. He gave up one unearned run on one hit while striking out three. The Dodgers will shift the 25-year-old right-hander to the bullpen in the playoffs, and Sheehan looked like he will have no issues adapting to the role, topping out at 97.6 mph with his fastball as he struck out the side around a single, a wild pitch and an error. If this was Sheehan's final appearance of the regular season, he'll put 2025 in the books with a 2.82 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 89:22 K:BB through 73.1 innings, and he could have a prominent spot in the Dodgers' 2026 rotation plans.

• Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Strong start goes to waste

  09/21/2025 • By RotoWire

  Sheehan allowed one hit and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Sunday. Sheehan had another excellent outing, going at least seven frames for the third time in his last five appearances. He's given up just four runs over 31.1 innings with a 42:7 K:BB in that span, but he wasn't able to get a win after Blake Treinen had a poor performance in the eighth inning. Sheehan lowered his ERA to 2.86 with a 0.97 WHIP and 86:22 K:BB through 72.1 innings across 14 outings (11 starts) this season. He is tentatively projected for one more start in the regular season, which would be in Seattle.

• Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Fares well behind opener

  09/16/2025 • By RotoWire

  Sheehan allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Monday. The Dodgers shielded Sheehan from the Phillies' tough top of the lineup the first time through the order, though the move didn't initially pay off. Opener Anthony Banda gave up a run, prompting Sheehan's entry into the game after Banda faced the minimum three batters. This was still a positive outing for Sheehan, who has allowed just four runs over 24.1 innings over his last four appearances. For the season, he has a 3.17 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 76:22 K:BB across 65.1 innings through 13 appearances (10 starts). His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Giants this weekend, though it's not yet clear if that will be a traditional start or another bulk-relief assignment.

• Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Falls to Pirates

  09/04/2025 • By RotoWire

  Sheehan (5-3) took the loss Thursday against the Pirates, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks across 4.2 innings. He struck out six. While Sheehan was stuck with the loss as the Dodgers were shut out 3-0, it was a fair outing overall for the right-hander, with both of Pittsburgh's runs coming on solo homers in the first and second innings. Overall, Sheehan sports a 3.59 ERA with a 1.16 WHIP and 60:18 K:BB across 52.2 innings this season. It was originally reported that Sheehan's turn in the rotation would be skipped before he was ultimately announced as the starter Wednesday afternoon. It remains to be seen if he'll be relegated to the bullpen or continue to work in the rotation going forward.

• Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Drawing start Wednesday

  09/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  Sheehan will start Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. Shohei Ohtani had initially been listed as the Dodgers' starter, but Ohtani will instead serve only as the team's designated hitter Wednesday. Manager Dave Roberts had said previously that Sheehan's turn in the rotation would be skipped, but the plan evidently changed. Roberts should offer more clarity behind the decision later Wednesday.
