Jimmie Sherfy: Heads to independent ranks
Sherfy signed a contract Tuesday with the Gastonia Honey Hunters of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
The veteran reliever made 14 relief appearances between the Giants and Dodgers in 2021, posting a 4.20 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across 15 innings. Before electing free agency and leaving the Dodgers in November, Sherfy didn't make any appearances over the final two months of the season due to right elbow inflammation. His move to the independent ranks signals that he's now healthy again.

Sherfy was placed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Dodgers' Jimmie Sherfy: Takes ugly loss
Sherfy (2-1) took the loss Friday against the Giants after allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits over an inning of work.
Sherfy came out to the mound in the 10th inning trying to preserve a 6-6 ballgame, but he was unable to do so. The Rockies quickly took the lead back with an RBI single by Trevor Story and then tacked on some insurance with a two-run homer from Charlie Blackmon. The 29-year-old had put together three straight scoreless outings coming into Friday, including one against the Rockies, but will come out of it with a 4.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB over 15 innings.

Dodgers' Jimmie Sherfy: Earns win against former club
Sherfy (2-0) secured a win against San Francisco on Tuesday, pitching a perfect inning during which he struck out two.
Sherfy pitched a clean ninth inning with the Dodgers trailing by a run. Will Smith then hit a walkoff home run in the bottom of the frame to give the Dodgers -- and Sherfy -- a victory. The reliever has appeared in three games for Los Angeles after he was claimed off waivers July 13, allowing only one hit while striking out three over 3.1 scoreless innings.

Dodgers' Jimmie Sherfy: Scoreless frame in Dodgers debut
Sherfy pitched a scoreless inning against Colorado on Friday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter.
The right-hander saw his first action with his new club after Los Angeles plucked him off the waiver wire during the All-Star break. Sherfy closed out the win for the Dodgers, hurling eight of nine pitches for strikes and getting Trevor Story to bounce into a game-ending double play after yielding a one-out single. Sherfy figures to be used at the front end of the bullpen for now, as he hasn't seen much high-leverage usage as a big-leaguer -- he has two saves and three holds across 54 career appearances.

Dodgers' Jimmie Sherfy: Added to 26-man roster
Sherfy was officially added to the Dodgers' 26-man roster Friday after being claimed off waivers from the Giants on Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Outfielder Zach Reks was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to make room for Sherfy on the 26-man roster. The right-hander, who posted a 4.22 ERA and 9:4 K:BB during 10.2 relief innings with San Francisco, figures to pitch primarily in lower leverage situations for Los Angeles, at least to start.

Dodgers' Jimmie Sherfy: Claimed by Dodgers
The Dodgers claimed Sherfy off waivers from San Francisco on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
The Giants designated Sherfy for assignment July 6, and he's caught on with the suddenly pitching-needy Dodgers just a week later. The righty posted a 4.22 ERA and 9:4 K:BB in 10.2 relief innings this season with San Francisco. Bobby Wahl was designated for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Sherfy.

Giants' Jimmie Sherfy: DFA'd by San Francisco
Sherfy was designated for assignment by the Giants on Tuesday.
The right-hander had his contract selected by the Giants in early June, and he lost his spot on the 40-man and 26-man rosters after giving up five runs in his past four outings. Sherfy could end up at Triple-A Sacramento if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Giants' Jimmie Sherfy: Yields two runs Friday
Sherfy allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one in one inning of Friday's 11-4 win over Arizona.
While Sherfy got off to a solid start this year, he's now allowed three runs across his last 2.2 innings. Both runs he allowed Friday came via the home run, as Eduardo Escobar and Pavin Smith both took him deep in the eighth inning. The right-hander has a 2.79 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 9:3 K:BB and 1-0 record in 9.2 innings overall.

Giants' Jimmie Sherfy: Picks up first win
Sherfy (1-0) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Tuesday versus Arizona.
Sherfy kept the deficit at three runs after a clean eighth inning. Mike Yastrzemski's go-ahead grand slam in the bottom of the eighth put the right-hander in line for the win. Sherfy has been effective across his first two outings since he was called up, although he'll likely need to continue pitching well to work his way into a more prominent relief role.

Sherfy allowed a hit and a walk with two strikeouts over two scoreless innings in Sunday's 5-0 loss to Washington.

Sherfy didn't allow an earned run in 7.2 innings with Triple-A Sacramento this year prior to his call-up to the big leagues. He figures to work in a low-leverage relief role.

Giants' James Sherfy: Activated by Giants

Sherfy joined the Giants on a minor-league deal in February and began the season with Triple-A Sacramento. During his time in the minors, he posted a 0.56 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB in 7.2 scoreless innings. The right-hander will likely serve as a low-leverage reliever for the major-league club.

Giants' James Sherfy: Heading to San Francisco

Sherfy didn't pitch in 2020 and was cut by Arizona in August while dealing with an elbow issue. He appeared in 17 games for the Diamondbacks during 2019 and had a 5.89 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB over 18.1 innings.

Sherfy is dealing with an elbow injury that could require a scope, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

James Sherfy: Cut by Arizona
Sherfy was released by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
The 28-year-old was included in the 60-player pool, but he was unable to show enough at the alternate training site to maintain a spot. Sherfy made 17 appearances for Arizona in 2019 and had a 5.89 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB over 18.1 innings.

Diamondbacks' James Sherfy: Assigned to Salt River Flats
Sherfy was assigned to the Diamondbacks' alternate camp Saturday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Sherfy will travel to Arizona's satellite camp at Salt River Flats and will not be part of the Opening Day roster. The 28-year-old right-hander spent part of the last three seasons with the Diamondbacks and could return for a fourth consecutive. He compiled a 5.89 ERA over 18.1 innings (17 appearances) in 2019.

Diamondbacks' James Sherfy: Part of 60-man roster
Sherfy will be a part of the Diamondbacks' 60-man summer camp.
Although Sherfy was designated for assignment by Arizona in January, he'll still get an opportunity to break camp as part of the 60-man roster. The 28-year-old has appeared in relief 43 times with the Diamondbacks in the past three seasons, posting a career 2.98 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. He logged both a save and a win in the majors last September.

Diamondbacks' Jimmie Sherfy: Sent off 40-man roster
Sherfy was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Sherfy saw his biggest major-league workload in 2019 by pitching 18.1 innings, but he failed to accomplish much with a 5.89 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. The right-hander has found success in the majors and at the Triple-A level in the past, but it's unclear whether he'll be claimed by another squad after struggling in 2019. Sherfy's removal from the 40-man roster makes room for the newly acquired Hector Rondon.
