  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Joins NLDS roster

    The Dodgers added Casparius to their roster as a replacement for Michael Grove (shoulder) ahead of Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres on Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Casparius has made just three appearances at the big-league level, with his last outing coming Sept. 27. The rookie right-hander pitched to a 2-0, 2.16 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 8.1 innings, allowing two earned runs on nine hits while generating a 12:4 K:BB. Casparius was able to go 4.1 innings in his most recent outing and could be utilized in a manner similar to Grove, who was frequently deployed as a multi-inning reliever this past regular season.

  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Fans seven in bulk relief

    Casparius (2-0) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over 4.1 relief innings in an 11-4 victory over the Rockies. He struck out seven.

    Making only his third career big-league appearance, the 25-year-old right-hander took the mound at Coors Field after opener Ryan Brasier worked the first inning. Casparius wasn't daunted by the environment, tossing 55 of 85 pitches for strikes and setting a new career high in strikeouts. While he's unlikely to play a big role in the postseason for the Dodgers, Casparius may have put himself in the team's pitching plans for 2025. Between Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City this year, the 2021 fifth-round pick posted a 3.35 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 106:46 K:BB through 88.2 innings before providing Los Angeles with a 2.16 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB in 8.1 September frames.

  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Dodgers optioned Casparius to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    Casparius performed well during his bulk-relief outing Friday, giving up one run and striking out seven batters over 4.1 innings. However, the Dodgers will send him back to the minors in an effort to stack their bullpen with as many fresh arms as possible. Justin Wrobleski will be the choice to take Casparius' place on the active roster.

  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Back in Los Angeles

    The Dodgers recalled Casparius from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

    Just two days after being optioned to the minors, Casparius will return to the Dodgers' bullpen to make up for the loss of Brusdar Graterol (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day IL on Thursday. The 25-year-old Casparius has been solid during his brief time in the majors, allowing just one earned run over four innings, and he figures to work in middle relief during the final four games of the regular season.

  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Returns to Triple-A

    Casparius was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

    Casparius will return to Oklahoma City after being called up Friday, pitching three innings of one-run ball, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out five batters in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Rockies. In a corresponding move, right-hander Edgardo Henriquez was called up from Triple-A on Tuesday.

  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Recalled from OKC

    The Dodgers recalled Casparius from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    With the Dodgers planning on using a bullpen day versus the Rockies, Casparius will come up from Triple-A to add a fresh arm to Los Angeles' pitching staff, replacing Zach Logue. Casparius owns a 3.36 ERA and 1.22 WHIP through 67 innings with Oklahoma City and went unscored upon in one frame during his MLB debut Aug. 31.

  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Dodgers optioned Casparius to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    Casparius was sent back to Triple-A one day after making his MLB debut in the Dodgers' 8-6 victory over the Diamondbacks. He tossed a scoreless inning of relief and scooped up the win, but he'll likely move back into a starting role as he rejoins Oklahoma City.

  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Returns to Los Angeles

    The Dodgers recalled Casparius from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    With Clayton Kershaw (toe) headed for the injured list, the Dodgers will call upon Casparius to fill the roster spot. The 25-year-old righty has turned in a 3.30 ERA and 1.17 WHIP through 60 innings over 14 appearances (13 starts) at Triple-A and will likely be used out of the bullpen while in Los Angeles, though it's also possible that he makes a spot start in Kershaw's place.

  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Dodgers optioned Casparius to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

    The return of Blake Treinen (hip) from the IL will send Casparius back to the minor leagues after just three days in the majors. The 25-year-old righty didn't appear in a game during his stint with the Dodgers, though he could still be a depth option down the stretch after posting a 3.54 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 56 frames with Oklahoma City.

  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Gets first big-league call-up

    The Dodgers selected Casparius' contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    Los Angeles designated right-hander Brent Honeywell for assignment in a corresponding move to clear room on the 40-man roster and the 26-man active roster for Casparius. After getting moved up from Double-A Tulsa to Oklahoma City in May, Casparius made 13 starts at the Triple-A level, logging a 3.54 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 61:29 K:BB across 56 innings. The 25-year-old right-hander will likely operate as a long reliever for the Dodgers, though he could get a look in the rotation if incumbent No. 5 starter Bobby Miller continues to struggle while filling in for the injured Tyler Glasnow (elbow).
