Dodgers' Chris Vallimont: Joins Dodgers organization
Rotowire
Vallimont signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Wednesday and reported to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Vallimont made his big-league debut as a member of the Orioles organization last season, recording two outs in a July 3 relief appearance against the Yankees before he was traded to the Guardians shortly thereafter and eventually removed from the 40-man roster. He became a free agent this offseason and eventually caught on with the York Revolution of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. After posting a 3.29 ERA and striking out 33 batters over his five starts with York, the 27-year-old Vallimont was able to catch the attention of the Dodgers. He'll be plugged into the Oklahoma City rotation right away and will start Wednesday in Albuquerque.

The Orioles traded Vallimont to the Guardians on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
The Orioles designated Vallimont for assignment Wednesday, and he now finds himself in a new organization just one day later. The 26-year-old has been used as both a starter and reliever, and he could find himself in the majors if Cleveland is in need of a fresh arm later this season. Vallimont holds a 5.02 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 57.1 innings in Triple-A. Triston McKenzie was transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room for Vallimont on the Guardians' 40-man roster.
