LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired right-handed pitcher Corey Knebel from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Knebel, 29, was non-tendered by the Brewers today after spending the last five seasons in Milwaukee. In five seasons with the Brewers, he went 6-11 with a 3.20 ERA (81 ER/227.2 IP) and 325 strikeouts in 231 games. In his 2017 All-Star campaign, he tossed a career-high 76 games, going 1-4 with 39 saves and 1.78 ERA (15 ER/76.0 IP) and 120 strikeouts. He pitched in 15 games last season, going 0-0 with a 6.08 ERA (9 ER/13.1 IP) and 15 strikeouts after missing the 2019 season with a torn UCL in his throwing arm. He was originally drafted in the first round (39th overall) of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Texas.
