Brock Stewart is back in the fold for the Dodgers just in time for their three-game series against the Minnesota Twins. The right-hander, formerly with the Twins just last season, has been activated after recovering from a bone spur in his left foot. To make room for Stewart, the Dodgers have optioned Chayce McDermott to the minors.

McDermott’s time on the big league roster was brief, featuring in only one game during a recent blowout. He stepped in as a temporary solution following the placement of Blake Treinen on the injured list, serving as a bridge until Stewart was ready to return.

Stewart’s return is significant for Los Angeles, as he has logged just 5.2 innings since rejoining the team last season in a trade that sent James Outman to Minnesota. With Treinen sidelined, the Dodgers are counting on Stewart to bolster their bullpen as a high-leverage option. Earlier this season, he showcased his potential by tossing a couple of scoreless innings with three strikeouts, highlighting his capability to contribute effectively on the mound.
