The right-hander then chose to become a free agent.\u00a0Heading to the market, Brogdon has a 3.97 ERA in 145 major league innings.<\/p>\n<p>Brogdon appeared in just one game for the Dodgers this season where he allowed a pair of runs in one inning against the Minnesota Twins. The Dodgers acquired the right-hander from the Philadelphia Phillies in an April swap after Brogdon was designated for assignment.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers sent minor league left-hander Benony Robles to Philadelphia, while Brogdon came to Los Angeles. Only days after his major league debut in a Dodgers uniform, Brogdon was placed on the 15-day injured list due to plantar fasciitis.<\/p>\n<p>The plantar fasciitis was severe enough to keep Brogdon from returning to the active roster. Brogdon originally went on a rehab assignment a few weeks after going on the injured list, but the Dodgers ended up transferring him to the 60-day injured list.<\/p>\n<p>In August, Brogdon began another rehab assignment but wasn\u2019t able to return before the season concluded. Before coming to the Dodgers, Brogdon was poised to be a high-profile reliever. The former tenth-round pick reached the majors in just three years.<\/p>\n<p>From 2020-22, Brogdon posted a combined 3.42 ERA in 113 innings. The right-hander averaged 95.8 mph on his heater and was sharp at the start of his MLB career. In 2023, all of Brogdon\u2019s statistics dramatically fell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Connor Brogdon elected minor league free agency after being unclaimed on waivers.
