Lou

Trivino

Trivino ascends to Philadelphia’s relief mix prior to Tuesday’s showdown against the Mets. The 33-year-old signed a minor league pact with the Phillies earlier this month after making 37 appearances this season between the Dodgers and Giants.

Phillies president Dave Dombrowski has made a habit of gambling on veteran relievers with big-league experience — and Trivino is the latest roll of the dice. The 33-year-old made 37 appearances earlier this season between the Dodgers and Giants. He’ll head to Triple-A Lehigh Valley as emergency organizational depth.

The 33-year-old hurler had been designated for assignment earlier in the week. After passing through waivers unclaimed, the Dodgers released him rather than attempting to send him outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City. He’s now free to latch on elsewhere. Trivino posted a solid 3.76 ERA over 26 1/3 innings for the Dodgers and has previous closing experience, so he shouldn’t be out of work for long.

Trivino has been jettisoned from Los Angeles’ relief mix after posting a respectable 3.76 ERA across 26 1/3 innings. The well-traveled 33-year-old reliever figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and test the open market in search of a new opportunity.

Dreyer opened Tuesday’s bullpen game against the Padres and allowed a run on two hits in the first inning. He came back for a clean second inning before Lou Trivino took over in the third. Trivino would surrender two runs over two frames in his appearance. Dreyer has been an effective reliever for Los Angeles, posting a 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and a 37/15 K/BB ratio across 37 2/3 innings.

Sauer followed opener Lou Trivino after the first inning on Tuesday against the Padres. After a scoreless second inning, he gave up three runs on a walk, double, base hit and a triple in the third inning, all on two outs. The Padres would add a run in the fourth and fifth before tacking on four in the sixth as the Dodgers left Sauer in there for as long as they could before infielder Enrique Hernández took over with two outs. The 26-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 5.68 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 19/6 K/BB ratio across 25 1/3 innings. He’s tentatively scheduled for an outing against the Padres in Los Angeles on Monday.

It’ll be a bullpen game for Los Angeles on Tuesday night with Matt Sauer functioning in a bulk relief role. Trivino will handle the opening frame to face a couple tough hitters atop San Diego’s lineup.

Trivio replaced an injured Kirby Yates (hamstring) in Los Angeles’ bullpen ahead of Sunday’s game against the Angels. The 33-year-old righty signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers last weekend shortly after being cut loose by the division-rival Giants.

Trivino represents a worthwhile dice roll for the Dodgers, who can afford to take a chance that the 33-year-old veteran still has something left in the tank. It didn’t take him long to find a new opportunity after being cut loose last weekend by the division-rival Giants. He went unclaimed on waivers after struggling to a bloated 5.84 ERA across 12 1/3 innings (11 appearances) this season.

The 33-year-old hurler had been designated for assignment earlier in the week by the Giants. After passing through waivers unclaimed he opted to explore the open market rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Sacramento. Trivino posted a 5.84 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and an 11/5 K/BB ratio over 12 1/3 innings with the Giants. It shouldn’t take him long to land an opportunity elsewhere.
