The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>\u2018 weekend series against the Boston Red Sox is underway. LA and Boston faced off on Friday evening, with the Red Sox picking up a 9-4 win thanks to a big 5-run seventh inning.<\/p>\n Before the Red Sox-Dodgers series opener, Los Angeles made a string of roster moves, which included a few pitchers.<\/p>\n More MLB<\/a> on Heavy: Detroit Tigers Cut 2-Year MLB Player to Clear Roster Space for Max Clark<\/a><\/p>\n Los Angeles Dodgers Announce Roster Moves for Red Sox Series GettyBALTIMORE, MD \u2013 SEPTEMBER 18: Chayce McDermott #59 of the Baltimore Orioles pitches against the New York Yankees<\/a> during the seventh inning at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on September 18, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland.

In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers designated RHP Chayce McDermott for assignment.<\/p>\n Chayce McDermott is the roster casualty, as he is now in DFA limbo. McDermott has pitched in parts of three MLB seasons.<\/p>\n As for Cole Irvin, he made his season debut against the Red Sox on Friday evening and allowed six earned runs over six innings pitched.<\/p>\n McDermott, 27, had pitched just 2.1 innings for the Dodgers this season.<\/p>\n NBCSports.com\u2019s David Shovein wrote<\/a> (about McDermott\u2019s DFA):<\/p>\n \u201cThe Dodgers needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Cole Irvin on Friday and McDermott drew the short straw this time around. The 27-year-old hurler could generate some interest on waivers.\u201d<\/p>\n It is MLB trade deadline season, so there\u2019s a possibility that another squad could want to pick up McDermott in return for cash.<\/p>\n More MLB on Heavy: New York Mets Announce Kodai Senga Decision Before Marlins Game<\/a><\/p>\n Looking at Chayce McDermott\u2019s Career GettyBALTIMORE, MD \u2013 MAY 14: Chayce McDermott #59 of the Baltimore Orioles pitches in the second inning during game two of a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins<\/a> at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on May 14, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland.
