Dodgers Cut Pitcher After Only Two Games

The Chris Stratton era in Los Angeles is over.

The journeyman reliever was designated for assignment Monday, one day after he allowed one run in two innings against the New York Yankees in Sunday's 7-3 loss.

Stratton, who signed with the Dodgers on May 25, three days after he was released by the Kansas City Royals, made only two appearances in a Dodger uniform. He appeared in both games over the weekend against the Yankees, allowing a total of two runs over three innings.

The Dodgers are Stratton's seventh team in a career that began in 2016 with the San Francisco Giants.

In a corresponding move, the Dodgers recalled reliever Ryan Loutos from Triple-A Oklahoma City for his second stint with the team. They also formally announced the acquisition of Will Klein, who was acquired from the Seattle Mariners earlier Monday, and optioned Noah Davis.
