Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Connor Brogdon elected minor league free agency after being unclaimed on waivers. Brogdon’s decision opens up a spot on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 protection deadline next week.
After Brogdon, 29, wasn’t picked up on waivers, he was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City, according to the transaction log at MLB.com. The right-hander then chose to become a free agent. Heading to the market, Brogdon has a 3.97 ERA in 145 major league innings.
Brogdon appeared in just one game for the Dodgers this season where he allowed a pair of runs in one inning against the Minnesota Twins.
