Los Angeles Dodgers trade for Chicago Cubs reliever Chris Martin

The Los Angeles Dodgers have added to their bullpen by trading for Chicago Cubs right-handed reliever Chris Martin, the teams announced Saturday.

The Cubs are acquiring utility player Zach McKinstry in return.

The Dodgers' bullpen has been shaky at times and dealing with a number of injuries this season, including losing top setup reliever Daniel Hudson to a season-ending torn left ACL as well as injuries to Blake Treinen and Tommy Kahnle.

Even so, the Dodgers entered Sunday with the sixth-best ERA from their bullpen in the majors at 3.
