Heaney, 34, recorded a 0.90 ERA in 10 innings over four starts at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers signed Heaney just days after he was released by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Heaney’s longest stint was with the Los Angeles Angels from 2015-21. He also pitched for the Dodgers in 2022.

Los Angeles optioned right-hander Will Klein to Oklahoma City. The team also recalled right-hander Nick Frasso from Oklahoma City and transferred him to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man roster spot for Heaney.

Klein, 25, is 1-1 with a 2.35 ERA in 14 appearances for the Dodgers this season. Frasso, 26, went 6-1 with a 5.49 ERA in 43 appearances (seven starts) for Oklahoma City with his last appearance coming on Sept. 19.
