Dodgers Roster: Chris Stratton Elects Free Agency After Clearing Waivers

Chris Stratton elected free agency after clearing waivers in the wake of being designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers a second time since originally joining the team on May 25.

The first DFA instance was tied to the Dodgers needing to create room on their 40-man roster for Will Klein. Stratton went on to clear waivers and rejected an outright assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City before re-signing with the Dodgers.

The latest DFA was necessary so that L.A. could activate Michael Kopech off the 60-day injured list.

Stratton allowed one run in the eighth inning of his Dodgers debut that came during an 18-2 rout of the New York Yankees. He also gave up one run in two innings of work during the series finale at Dodger Stadium.

The right-hander’s most recent appearance came in the Dodgers’ series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Just like in his previous two outings, he allowed one run.

Stratton pitched to a 6.75 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in those games, yielding three runs and collecting six strikeouts across six innings pitched.

It remains to be seen if the Dodgers will look to bring Stratton back for a third time. A similar occurrence took place earlier this season when the Yankees signed Adam Ottavino three times in a span of two months.

Chris Stratton MLB career

Stratton had a 7.94 ERA, 4.13 FIP and 18.4% strikeout rate over 17 innings pitched for the Kansas City Royals this season prior to singing with the Dodgers. The 34-year-old has pitched in parts of 10 seasons, making his MLB debut with the San Francisco Giants in 2016 and spending three seasons there.

In addition to the Giants, Royals and Dodgers, he has also pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cardinals, Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels.
