Brogdon cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency.
Brogdon posted a 5.55 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 47 innings with the Angels this season -- both career worsts among seasons he pitched at least 40 frames. He should be able to land another contract during the offseason, though he doesn't project to serve as anything more than bullpen depth in 2026.

Rotowire
The Angels selected Brogdon's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
With Andrew Chafin (triceps) headed for the injured list, Brogdon will rejoin the big club after being designated for assignment in mid-August. The 30-year-old righty has given up three earned runs in 7.1 innings since being sent to Salt Lake and is likely ticketed for low-leverage work with the Angels.

Brogdon has the ability to decline the outright assignment and elect free agency if he wants, but it's unclear what his plans are. The righty reliever posted a 5.30 ERA and 33:16 K:BB over 37.1 innings for the Angels before exiting the 40-man roster.

Angels' Connor Brogdon: Loses 40-man roster spot
Rotowire
The Angels designated Brogdon for assignment Sunday.
Brogdon will lose his spot on the Angels' 40-man roster after he coughed up four earned runs over 1.1 innings between his last two relief appearances to bring his ERA up to 5.30 across 37 outings on the season.

Angels' Connor Brogdon: Credited with victory in relief
Rotowire
Brogdon (2-1) picked up the win over the Rangers on Monday, allowing one run on two hits with out strikeout over 1.1 innings in relief.
Starter Jack Kochanowicz gave the Angels just 4.2 frames, and Brogdon was summoned from the bullpen with two outs and runners on second and third in the fifth. Brogdon struck out Joc Pederson to end the inning, but he gave up a solo shot to Josh Jung in the following frame. Nonetheless, the righty reliever was credited with the win as the Angels held on for the victory. Brogdon has worked primarily in middle relief this season, posting a 4.40 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB over 30.2 innings spanning 29 appearances while notching two holds and zero saves.

Angels' Connor Brogdon: Fans two in perfect relief outing
Rotowire
Brogdon struck out two batters in one perfect inning of relief against the Red Sox on Tuesday.
The contest was tight throughout, and Brogdon helped preserve a 3-3 tie when he breezed through a 1-2-3 frame in the seventh. The right-hander was blown up for four runs over two-thirds of an inning in his third appearance of the campaign May 11, but he hasn't given up an earned run in any of his seven appearances since. During that span, Brogdon has posted a 6:1 K:BB and allowed just three hits across 6.2 frames, though he hasn't seen much high-leverage work and doesn't yet have any holds or save chances.

Angels' Connor Brogdon: Selected from Salt Lake
Rotowire
The Angels selected Brogdon's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Brogdon hasn't exactly had a great Triple-A season so far, posting a 12.89 ERA and 2.61 WHIP through 14.2 innings, though he has impressively struck out 21 batters in that span. Despite his poor numbers, he'll join the Angels' bullpen to give the big club a fresh arm. He'll replace Touki Toussaint, who was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot.

Angels' Connor Brogdon: MiLB deal with Halos
Rotowire
The Angels signed Brogdon to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Taylor Blake Ward of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Brogdon made a total of just 18 appearances between the majors and minors in 2024 due to a foot injury, although he ended the season healthy. The righty reliever flashed some bat-missing ability with the Phillies from 2020 to 2022 with a 25.1 percent strikeout rate.

Connor Brogdon: Enters free agency
Rotowire
Brogdon elected to become a free agent Friday.
A foot injury kept Brogdon out for most of the 2024 season, though he was able to put up a 3.46 ERA in 13 Triple-A innings when healthy. The Dodgers dropped the 29-year-old righty from their 40-man roster Thursday, and rather than stick around as organizational depth, Brogdon will now explore his options on the open market.

Dodgers' Connor Brogdon: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Dodgers outrighted Brogdon to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster. Brogdon -- who missed much of the 2024 season with a foot injury -- will remain in the organization as relief depth.
Brogdon (foot) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Brogdon began a rehab assignment at Single-A on Saturday, and after throwing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts, he'll proceed to Triple-A Oklahoma City. It's unclear how many rehab outings Brogdon will require before being activated from the 60-day injured list.
Brogdon (foot) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Brogdon was placed on the injured list back in April due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He made a pair of minor-league rehab appearances in early May before being shut down suddenly. Updates on Brogdon's status have been few and far between ever since, but he's now feeling well enough to pitch in games again. Given the lengthy layoff, Brogdon will likely require a fairly long rehab assignment and may be multiple weeks away from returning.

Dodgers' Connor Brogdon: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Dodgers transferred Brogdon (foot) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
Brogdon landed on the injured list with plantar fasciitis in mid-April shortly after being acquired from Philadelphia, and he'll be sidelined for at least another month.

Dodgers' Connor Brogdon: Kicking off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Brogdon (foot) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Brogdon is ready for game action again after he was placed on the 15-day injured list April 13 due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He'll likely need at least a couple appearances in the minors before the Dodgers feel comfortable bringing him back from the IL.

Dodgers' Connor Brogdon: Hits 15-day IL
Rotowire
The Dodgers placed Brogdon on the 15-day injured list Saturday with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

Dodgers' Connor Brogdon: Sent to Dodgers
Rotowire
The Phillies traded Brogdon to the Dodgers on Saturday in exchange for Benony Robles, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Brogdon was designated for assignment Tuesday, but he will remain on a 40-man roster as he moves to the Dodgers organization. The 29-year-old righty turned in a 4.03 ERA across 29 innings last season but has struggled to begin 2024, allowing six earned runs across two innings over three appearances. Dinelson Lamet was designated for assignment to clear space on the Dodgers' 40-man, and Brogdon will join the big-league bullpen as he does not have any minor-league options remaining.

Phillies' Connor Brogdon: Takes the loss
Rotowire
Brogdon (0-1) took the loss in Monday's 6-3 extra-inning defeat at the hands of the Reds. He allowed four runs on one hit and three walks while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning.
Making an appearance in three of four games since Opening Day, Brogdon has experienced a shaky early part of the season. The fifth-year pitcher has given up multiple runs in two of his three outings, including Monday's. To make matters worse, he's struggling to find the strike zone, as he's walked six batters despite not pitching more than a single frame in any appearance. With the Phillies missing four different bullpen members due to injury, Brogdon's spot on the roster appears safe for now, but continual poor performances could see him shift to the minors in short order.

Phillies' Connor Brogdon: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Phillies designated Brogdon for assignment Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Brogdon will lose his spot on Philadelphia's 40-man roster one day after surrendering four runs (three earned) over just two-thirds of an inning Monday against the Reds. The 29-year-old righty holds a 3.88 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in his MLB career and may attract interest from other teams in need of bullpen depth. Ricardo Pinto was selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.
