Dowdy's contract was selected from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He was subsequently optioned to Triple-A and then added as the 29th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, so Dowdy will presumably just be up with the big club for the twin bill. The 29-year-old righty has a 4.25 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 48.2 innings across 44 appearances at Triple-A.
