Dodgers Claim Charlie Barnes

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed left-handed pitcher Charlie Barnes from the Chicago Cubs. In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman to the 60-day injured list.

Barnes, 30, was designated for assignment on May 6 after appearing in one game for the Cubs. He tossed three innings, allowing four runs (three earned) and striking out one. This was his second big league stint after debuting with Minnesota in 2021, recording an 0-3 mark with a 5.92 ERA in 38 innings. In six minor league seasons, he owns a 27-24 record with a 3.86 ERA and 370 strikeouts in 424.1 innings. He was a fourth round draft pick by the Minnesota Twins in the 2017 First Year Player Draft out of the University of Clemson.

The Los Angeles Dodgers franchise, with nine World Series championships and 26 National League pennants since its beginnings in Brooklyn in 1890, is committed to a tradition of pride and excellence.
