Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Back with LA
Sauer signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Thursday.
Sauer was released by the Dodgers on Sept. 11, but it didn't take long for him to rejoin the organization. He's posted a 6.37 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 29.2 innings in the majors.

Matt Sauer: Released by Dodgers
The Dodgers released Sauer on Wednesday.
Sauer cleared waivers after being designated for assignment, and the Dodgers have now elected to cut him loose. The 26-year-old has spent most of the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he held a 5.86 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 83 innings.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Pushed off 40-man
The Dodgers designated Sauer for assignment Saturday.
Sauer has spent most of the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he owns a 5.86 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through 83 innings. He'll now sacrifice his 40-man spot to make room for Chuckie Robinson's addition to the active roster, though the 26-year-old reliever is likely to clear waivers based on his poor performance.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Returned to OKC
The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.
Sauer was recalled Thursday and yielded two runs on three hits while striking out two over two innings of relief that day against the Rockies. He'll head back to Triple-A on Friday, yielding his spot on the 26-man roster to Tanner Scott. Sauer has a 4.86 ERA and 73:23 K:BB across 76 innings with Oklahoma City this season.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Rejoins bullpen
The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
Sauer holds a 6.18 ERA and 22:8 K:BB over 27.2 innings covering one start and eight relief outings for the Dodgers this season. He'll give manager Dave Roberts a fresh arm after the bullpen covered four frames in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Sent down to minors
The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Sauer was credited with a win Tuesday against the Padres, despite allowing three runs over 2.1 relief innings. He will head back to Oklahoma City to accommodate the return of Emmet Sheehan (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's contest.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Snags win Tuesday
Sauer (2-1) earned the win in Tuesday's 8-6 victory over the Padres, allowing three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings of relief.
The Dodgers opted for a bullpen day Tuesday, with Sauer entering in the top of the fifth in a 3-3 game after starter Jack Dreyer and reliever Lou Trivino worked two innings apiece to lead off the contest. With Los Angeles rallying for five runs in the sixth inning, Sauer ended up getting credited with the win, despite giving three of those runs back in the top of the seventh. Sauer now holds a 6.18 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB through 27.2 innings over nine appearances (one start) this season, and his time with the big club could soon be coming to an end. The Dodgers will activate Emmet Sheehan (elbow) from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's contest, and since Sauer is unlikely to be available for at least another day or two after Tuesday's 54-pitch appearance, he might be pushed off the roster to clear a spot for Sheehan.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Lit up in bulk-relief outing
Sauer (1-1) allowed nine runs on 13 hits and three walks while striking out six over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Padres.
Sauer was terrible, but he was able to absorb some innings for a pitching staff that was lacking in fresh arms. This performance could make Sauer's current stay with the big club a short one, especially after he needed 111 pitches (69 strikes) Tuesday. His ERA spiked up to 5.68 with a 1.38 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 25.1 innings over eight appearances (one start) at the big-league level.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Recalled from Triple-A
The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Sauer is expected to take on the bulk of the workload in Tuesday's game in San Diego, whether it be as a traditional starter or bulk reliever. The right-hander has collected a 3.05 ERA and 13:3 K:BB over 20.2 frames at the big-league level in 2025.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Set to pitch for big club Tuesday
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Monday's win over the Padres that Sauer will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and will pitch in Tuesday's contest, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Although Roberts didn't confirm as much, Sauer is expected to start or serve as a bulk reliever for Tuesday's game in San Diego. The 26-year-old right-hander has made one start and six relief appearances with the Dodgers this season, posting a 3.05 ERA and 13:3 K:BB over 20.2 frames. Sauer went 4.2 innings and threw 82 pitches in his last start with Oklahoma City, so he should be prepared for a full workload Tuesday.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Relegated to Triple-A
The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Sauer pitched three innings and gave up two runs (one earned) in Friday's 13-inning marathon and will now end up as the odd man out of a roster spot with Bobby Miller coming up from Triple-A. Sauer owns a 3.05 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 20.2 innings in the big leagues this season, so there's a good chance we'll see him back in Dodger blue later this year.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Works in relief Monday
Sauer surrendered two earned runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one batter over two innings of relief in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.
After making a four-inning start in his previous appearance for the Dodgers on Thursday against the Athletics, Sauer shifted back to the bullpen after Los Angeles added Clayton Kershaw to its rotation over the weekend. The Dodgers still went without a traditional starter in Monday's game, as Jack Dreyer covered the first two frames before Landon Knack tossed the next five innings. Sauer then came on to finish out the contest, but Knack looks like he'll be prioritized in bulk relief ahead of Sauer the next time the fifth spot in the Los Angeles rotation comes up.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Lasts four innings in start
Sauer allowed two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two over four innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Thursday.
Sauer was fine in his first big-league start, but he didn't pitch long enough to qualify for the win in a 19-2 blowout. He gave up a run in each of the first two innings before settling in. Over 15.2 innings this season, Sauer has a 2.30 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB. He's got some starting experience in the minors, but he's been utilized as a middle reliever for the bulk of his time in the majors. Clayton Kershaw (toe) is poised to make his season debut this weekend, with Landon Knack a likelier bet to stick in the rotation than Sauer.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Drawing start Thursday
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Sauer will start Thursday's game against the Athletics, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Sauer will pick up his first MLB start Thursday, as all 14 of his appearances with the Royals in 2024 as well as his first four with the Dodgers in 2025 had come out of the bullpen. The right-hander made three starts at Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier this season and worked as a bulk reliever or piggyback pitcher in two of his relief outings with Los Angeles, pitching five innings April 29 and four innings May 7. The Dodgers will likely look for Sauer to cover 4-to-6 innings Thursday before turning the game over to the bullpen.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Earns first major-league save
Sauer came away with the save in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Marlins, allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out four across four innings.
The Dodgers needed only two pitchers Wednesday, with Landon Knack serving as the starter before Sauer relieved him to toss the final four innings. The right-hander's lone blemish came in the ninth frame on a sacrifice fly, but he finished the game with seven whiffs on 42 pitches (31 strikes) to register the first save of his major-league career. Sauer should continue to serve in the Dodgers' bullpen as a bulk reliever after Evan Phillips (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list, but the former made three starts with Triple-A Oklahoma City and is capable of stepping in as a spot starter.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Rejoins big club
The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Though he was optioned to Triple-A after tossing five innings of one-run ball while working in bulk relief in last Tuesday's win over the Marlins, Sauer was able to rejoin the Dodgers before the minimum 15 days lapsed because Los Angeles placed reliever Evan Phillips (forearm) on the injured list in a corresponding move. Los Angeles had an opening in its six-man rotation for Wednesday's game in Miami, but the Dodgers turned to Landon Knack to start rather than Sauer, who will be available in relief for the series finale.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Optioned after first win
The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Sauer registered his first major-league victory Tuesday versus the Marlins, allowing one run over five frames in a bulk-relief role. His removal from the 26-man roster creates a spot for Tony Gonsolin (back), who was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start in Wednesday's game against Miami.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Nabs first MLB win in bulk role
Sauer (1-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 15-2 rout of the Marlins, allowing one run on five hits over five relief innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.
Jack Dreyer worked two innings as the opener before handing the ball, and a 4-1 lead, over to Sauer, who tossed 78 pitches (55 strikes) en route to his first career win in the majors. Tony Gonsolin (back) will join the Dodgers' rotation Wednesday, but the team is still one starter short with Blake Snell (shoulder) and Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) on the shelf and Shohei Ohtani still limited to bullpen sessions. It's not clear how Los Angeles intends to plug that hole, but Sauer's performance Tuesday should keep him in the mix either as a bulk reliever or traditional starter.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Back in big leagues
The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Sauer gave up a run in 1.2 innings during his lone MLB appearance April 7. Since then, he's surrendered just two runs in 11.2 frames while striking out 12 batters and walking one in Triple-A. Sauer may be a candidate to replace Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) in the starting rotation, though the Dodgers haven't yet specified what the former's role will be while he's with the big club. Noah Davis was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Heading back to minors
Sauer is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Sauer was unable to prevent Washington from extending the lead during Monday's game, surrendering one run on three hits over 1.2 innings of work in his 2025 debut. His time with the big-league club won't last long, as the team has elected to option him to Triple-A to make room for Justin Wrobleski, who is set to start Tuesday.
