Liberatore underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and faces a six-to-eight week timetable, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Liberatore is currently a free agent after being released by the Dodgers earlier this month. He expects to be fully recovered and with a new organization prior to spring training. Across 17 appearances with Los Angeles in 2018, he posted a 2.77 ERA and 1.38 WHIP.

Liberatore was cut loose by the Dodgers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Liberatore was released by the organization after being designated for assignment last week. He logged a 2.77 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB across 13 innings of relief for Los Angeles this year. He will look to latch on with another club before the end of the 2018 campaign.

Liberatore was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Friday, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Liberatore was cast off the 40-man roster in order to make room for the recently-acquired Ryan Madson, who was traded to the Dodgers from Washington on Friday. In 17 appearances with the big-league team this year, Liberatore has posted a 2.77 ERA and 1.38 WHIP but hasn't pitched for the Dodgers since June. He will be subject to waivers, but is set to remain with Triple-A Oklahoma City if he goes unclaimed.

Liberatore was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Liberatore was the casualty to make room for the return of Clayton Kershaw (back). In 13 innings for the Dodgers this season, he has a 2.77 ERA, though his 22.2 percent strikeout rate is mediocre and his 14.8 percent walk rate is poor, suggesting that he was getting fairly lucky.

Liberatore was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Liberatore figures to be used in a relief role during his next stint in the big leagues. He's posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with eight strikeouts across 12 appearances out of the bullpen.

Liberatore was optioned down to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Liberatore spent the last month at the major-league level, appearing in 12 games out of the Dodgers bullpen. During those outings, he logged a 3.38 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in eight innings of relief. In a corresponding move, Tony Cingrani (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list.

Liberatore (ankle) gave up one run on one hit while recording just one out in Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

He was unavailable for three days with an ankle injury but was brought in to begin the bottom of the seventh inning and promptly gave up a double to Yadiel Rivera before getting J.B. Shuck out and being relieved by JT Chargois. Liberatore has a 3.38 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and eight strikeouts in eight innings this season.

Liberatore was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Liberatore will join the big club to offer an extra arm out of the bullpen with Rich Hill (finger) landing on the disabled list. The 30-year-old has struck out nine batters through 6.1 scoreless innings with Oklahoma City so far this season. He should work in middle relief during his time with the Dodgers.

Liberatore was shipped to the minor leagues Monday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Liberatore made seven spring training appearances, giving up six runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out seven across 6.2 innings. He failed to earn a spot at the back end of the Dodgers' bullpen, so he'll head to Triple-A Oklahoma City where he'll start the year.

Liberatore (forearm) struck out one batter in an inning of work Monday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw was shut down last September due to left forearm tightness that lingered for much of the season. It seems like everything is back in working order, especially after the uneventful spring debut. Liberatore can now shift his focus on winning a low-leverage bullpen role in the big leagues.
