The Dodgers outrighted Brogdon to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster. Brogdon -- who missed much of the 2024 season with a foot injury -- will remain in the organization as relief depth.
Brogdon (foot) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Brogdon began a rehab assignment at Single-A on Saturday, and after throwing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts, he'll proceed to Triple-A Oklahoma City. It's unclear how many rehab outings Brogdon will require before being activated from the 60-day injured list.
Brogdon (foot) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Brogdon was placed on the injured list back in April due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He made a pair of minor-league rehab appearances in early May before being shut down suddenly. Updates on Brogdon's status have been few and far between ever since, but he's now feeling well enough to pitch in games again. Given the lengthy layoff, Brogdon will likely require a fairly long rehab assignment and may be multiple weeks away from returning.

Dodgers' Connor Brogdon: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Dodgers transferred Brogdon (foot) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
Brogdon landed on the injured list with plantar fasciitis in mid-April shortly after being acquired from Philadelphia, and he'll be sidelined for at least another month. The right-hander began a rehab assignment in early May and appeared close to joining the Dodgers, but he apparently suffered a setback and is now without a clear timeline for his return.

Dodgers' Connor Brogdon: Hits 15-day IL
Rotowire
The Dodgers placed Brogdon on the 15-day injured list Saturday with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

Dodgers' Connor Brogdon: Sent to Dodgers
Rotowire
The Phillies traded Brogdon to the Dodgers on Saturday in exchange for Benony Robles, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Brogdon was designated for assignment Tuesday, but he will remain on a 40-man roster as he moves to the Dodgers organization. The 29-year-old righty turned in a 4.03 ERA across 29 innings last season but has struggled to begin 2024, allowing six earned runs across two innings over three appearances. Dinelson Lamet was designated for assignment to clear space on the Dodgers' 40-man, and Brogdon will join the big-league bullpen as he does not have any minor-league options remaining.

Phillies' Connor Brogdon: Takes the loss
Rotowire
Brogdon (0-1) took the loss in Monday's 6-3 extra-inning defeat at the hands of the Reds. He allowed four runs on one hit and three walks while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning.
Making an appearance in three of four games since Opening Day, Brogdon has experienced a shaky early part of the season. The fifth-year pitcher has given up multiple runs in two of his three outings, including Monday's. To make matters worse, he's struggling to find the strike zone, as he's walked six batters despite not pitching more than a single frame in any appearance. With the Phillies missing four different bullpen members due to injury, Brogdon's spot on the roster appears safe for now, but continual poor performances could see him shift to the minors in short order.

Phillies' Connor Brogdon: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Phillies designated Brogdon for assignment Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Brogdon will lose his spot on Philadelphia's 40-man roster one day after surrendering four runs (three earned) over just two-thirds of an inning Monday against the Reds. The 29-year-old righty holds a 3.88 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in his MLB career and may attract interest from other teams in need of bullpen depth. Ricardo Pinto was selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Phillies' Connor Brogdon: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Philadelphia optioned Brogdon to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Jose Alvarado (elbow) has been activated off the injured list in a corresponding move. Brogdon gave up two earned runs in one inning of relief in his most recent appearance and holds a 4.03 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 29 major-league innings this year.

Phillies' Connor Brogdon: Opening Monday's game
Rotowire
Brogdon will serve as the Phillies' opening pitcher for Monday's contest in San Francisco.
Rather than starting like his usually does, Bailey Falter is expected to serve as a bulk reliever once Brogdon exits the contest, likely after covering an inning or two. Brogdon boasts a 2.61 ERA and 18:6 K:BB across 20.2 innings out of the Philadelphia bullpen in 2023.
Brogdon earned a save against the Marlins on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits while striking out one batter over one inning.
Brogdon entered in the ninth inning with Philadelphia up by two runs and immediately allowed the lead to be halved on a Jacob Stallings solo homer. He surrendered a single to the next batter but rebounded to retire the next three Marlins and secure the save. Seranthony Dominguez (triceps) is on the injured list and David Robertson threw 65 pitches over the past three days, which explains why Brogdon -- who had only one save coming into Wednesday -- was called upon to close. He isn't likely to see many more save opportunities moving forward.

Phillies' Connor Brogdon: Notches first save of 2022
Rotowire
Brogdon struck out one in a perfect 10th inning Friday to record his first save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Pirates.
Brad Hand worked the seventh inning and Seranthony Dominguez the ninth, leaving Brogdon to protect the lead the Phillies claimed in the top of the 10th. The right-hander didn't disappoint and needed only eight pitches (seven strikes) to breeze through the top of the Pirates' order. Brogdon has been one of the most reliable arms in the Philadelphia bullpen of late despite spending time on the COVID-19 list, posting a 1.42 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 12:0 K:BB through 12.2 innings since the beginning of June with two wins and three holds, in addition to Friday's save.

The right-hander has produced a 2.04 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 21 strikeouts over 17.2 innings in 19 appearances this season.

Phillies' Connor Brogdon: Could be back Friday
Rotowire
Brogdon (illness) is scheduled to make his third rehab appearance Wednesday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley and could be reinstated from the COVID-19-related injured list Friday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Brogdon experienced forearm fatigue coming out of his first rehab outing Thursday, but interim manager Rob Thomson said the right-hander felt much better following his second appearance with Lehigh Valley on Sunday. Assuming he remains free of setbacks Wednesday, Brogdon should slot back into the Phillies' bullpen for their final series of the first half this weekend in Miami.

Phillies' Connor Brogdon: Rehab slightly delayed
Rotowire
Brogdon (illness) dealt with tightness in his forearm following his recent rehab outing, though he could still join the Phillies within a week, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Brogdon has been on the COVID-19 injured list for just over two weeks. He struck out two batters in a scoreless rehab appearance Thursday but now seems to be dealing with a minor forearm issue. The Phillies bumped his next scheduled outing from Saturday to Sunday, but if all goes well he'll pitch one more time Tuesday or Wednesday before returning to the active roster during next weekend's series against the Marlins.

Rotowire
Brogdon (illness) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
