    Dodgers released LHP Jake Eder.

    Eder allowed one run over four innings across four relief outings for Los Angeles earlier this year. The 27-year-old lefty should be able to latch on somewhere else on a minor league pact.

    Eder allowed one run on three hits in four innings out of the Dodgers’ bullpen with one strikeout and one walk. He should get another shot over the summer.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher
    Eder has been summoned to join Los Angeles’ relief mix with closer Edwin Díaz hitting the injured list with loose bodies in his right elbow. The 27-year-old southpaw was acquired in a small trade with the Nationals earlier this month. He’s made nine relief appearances in the big leagues since 2024 and figures to operate in middle relief.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #46
    Eder had been designated for assignment by the Nationals over the weekend, so they will at least be able to get something for him. The 27-year-old had once been a high-upside prospect, but he has now failed to stick with the Marlins, White Sox, and Nationals. It’s a long shot that the Dodgers will find a way to change that trajectory. He will head to Triple-A Oklahoma City to see.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher #46
    Eder showed tremendous promise when drafted out of Vanderbilt in 2020, but injuries have stalled his career significantly. It won’t be a huge surprise if someone puts in a claim on the 27-year-old as a depth piece/reclamation project, but it won’t be a big surprise if teams don’t have interest, either.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher #46
    Eder was once a high-upside prospect with the Marlins, but an injury in 2022 changed the trajectory of his career. He wasn’t able to latch on with the White Sox or Angels after that and was traded to the Nationals back in July. He did have a fine spring, allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits in 6 2/3 innings while striking out six and walking six. The Nationals will keep working on getting him back to his old self in Triple-A.
  • WSH Pitcher #46
    The run scored in the second because Eder failed to cover first on a hot shot bobbled by Abimelec Ortiz. Eder also caught a break in the first, when Zach Cole was thrown out trying to tag up from second on a fly to right. On the mound, though, Eder looked pretty good today. He topped out at 96.4 mph and averaged 94.1 mph with his fastball, which was up one mph from last year. He’s not a part of the Nationals’ projected rotation, but there should be plenty of opportunity if he gets off to a nice start.
  • WSH Relief Pitcher #39
    Eder was once one of the more intriguing left-handed pitching prospects in baseball, but injuries and inconsistent results have made him closer to organizational depth than top prospect. He’ll get a chance to show at the age of 26 he’s got more in the tank, but fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach before considering him as a fantasy option.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #39
    Eder logged six innings out of the Angels’ bullpen on Wednesday, which unfortunately means that he wasn’t going to be available for at least a few days, so the Angels wanted to add a fresh arm to their bullpen to take his place. The 26-year-old southpaw holds a 4.91 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 15/9 K/BB ratio over 18 1/3 innings with the Halos this season.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #39
    Brock Burke opened today, allowing one run in the first, and Sam Bachman finished with a scoreless second. After that, it was all Eder, though he wouldn’t have come back out for the ninth had the Angels pulled off a comeback. Four of the five runs scored in Eder’s first inning of work, but he was quite effective afterwards, retiring 13 of the final 15 batters he faced. It’s unclear if he’ll stay up and face the Rangers next week or head back to Triple-A.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #39
    Eder pitched timidly working behind opener Ryan Zeferjahn in this one. He mostly nibbled around the zone with his sliders and allowed hard contact the few times he threw hittable pitches, including a loud three-run home run to Bryce Harper. If he stays on a typical starter’s schedule, he’ll likely pitch again next Wednesday against the Mets, but shouldn’t be seen as much more than an emergency option in even the deepest of leagues.

    Williams gave up two hits, walked one and struck out 13. He improved to 13-7 with the win. Williams bounced back with a gaudy strikeout total after he allowed five runs and didn’t even make it out of the second inning in his last start. He tied Dylan Cease with 217 for the second-most strikeouts this year. Williams has a 3.81 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Tigers at home on Sunday.

    Manaea gave up 11 hits, walked one and struck out two. He fell to 4-7 on the season with the loss. Manaea has a 7.37 ERA over his last four starts. Fantasy managers should look for better options than Manaea’s next start against the Marlins on the road next week.

    Freddy Peralta allowed one run in six innings and got the win in the Rays’ 6-2 victory over the Mets on Tuesday.

    Peralta gave up three hits, walked none and struck out seven. He improved to 7-11 on the season with the win. Peralta allowed a solo home run in the first inning before settling in and putting up a quality start. He has a 4.62 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings over six starts since coming to the Rays at the trade deadline. Peralta has a 4.96 ERA this year. He’s lined up to face the Braves on the road next week.

    Tommy White was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Rangers with lower back soreness.

    White appeared to be in some discomfort on a swing during his first at-bat of the night, which led to his early exit. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

    James Wood (oblique) went 1-for-3 with a walk in a minor league rehab game for Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday.

    Wood reached base safely in two of his four plate appearances and logged seven innings in left field. He’s been working his way back from an oblique strain that sent him to the injured list back in early August. There’s a strong possibility that he’s back in Washington’s lineup this week, either for Wednesday’s series finale against Atlanta or Friday’s opener against the Dodgers. There should be a decision regarding his next steps at some point prior to Wednesday’s contest.

    Joe Ryan (glute) recorded four strikeouts and allowed one run over three innings in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

    Ryan’s velocity was down a couple ticks as he averaged just 91 mph on his four-seam fastball during the 42-pitch outing. He gave up a solo homer, which represented the lone baserunner against him across three frames. The 30-year-old Twins ace is working his way back from a glute strain and could potentially make his next start in the big leagues with the club fighting for a playoff spot. It wouldn’t be surprising if he made one additional rehab start to continue building up his pitch count and stamina before returning to Minnesota’s rotation.

    Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) has started a throwing progression.

    Eovaldi, who threw from flat ground on Tuesday, is aiming to make it back to help the Rangers before the regular season wraps up. The 36-year-old veteran hit the injured list with elbow inflammation back on August 10. He’s going to need a couple weeks to ramp back up, but it doesn’t sound like he’s done for the year.
