Salazar

Salazar is coming up with Jordan Weems going on the injured list. He’s appeared in one game with Washington this season and threw two scoreless innings. Claimed off waivers from the Dodgers this year, Salazar had an 0.75 ERA in 10 appearances with Rochester this year.

Salazar will head back to Triple-A with the Nationals recalling DJ Herz for a start Tuesday against the Padres. The right-hander will be an up-and-down arm for the Nats for the remainder of 2024.

Salazar made one relief outing earlier this year for the Dodgers and holds a decent 4.53 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 37/17 K/BB ratio across 47 2/3 innings (20 appearances, seven starts) this season at the Triple-A level. The 26-year-old righty was claimed off waivers last month from the Mariners and will be making his Nationals debut when he gets into a game.

Salazar didn’t pitch in the majors with the Mariners after being claimed off waivers from the Dodgers last month. The 26-year-old does have nine major league appearances under his belt, and he’s sporting a 6.91 ERA in 14 1/3 innings. He has a 7.23 ERA lifetime in seven starts and 31 relief appearances in Triple-A.

The Mariners added a pair of players to the 40-man roster, so Salazar gets the heave-ho from the roster. If the 26-year-old goes unclaimed, he will report back to Triple-A Tacoma.

Los Angeles was probably hoping to sneak Salazar through waivers after designating him for assignment earlier this week, but he’ll head to Triple-A Tacoma as extra relief depth for Seattle. The 26-year-old righty threw a pair of scoreless frames in his lone appearance for the Dodgers this season.

Salazar had two quick stints with the Dodgers this season and allowed one unearned run in two innings. By clearing him from the 40-man, the Dodgers are picking Yohan Ramírez over giving Salazar an extended look.

Salazar heads back to the minors after allowing one run (zero earned) with three strikeouts over two innings on Wednesday in his Dodgers debut. The 26-year-old righty figures to oscillate between Los Angeles’ bullpen and Triple-A Oklahoma City as extra organizational relief depth for the next few months.

With a bullpen game on tap for the Dodgers on Wednesday, the club wanted a couple of fresh arms to help the cause, so Salazar will get another shot at the big league level. He holds an uninspiring 5.61 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and a 21/12 K/BB ratio over 33 2/3 innings in seven starts at the Triple-A level this season.

Salazar was up with the Dodgers for just a couple days this week and didn’t end up making an appearance. The 25-year-old righty heads back to the minors to continue serving as emergency relief depth for Los Angeles.
