The Dodgers designated Sauer for assignment Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Sauer has spent most of the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he owns a 5.86 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through 83 innings. He'll now sacrifice his 40-man spot to make room for Chuckie Robinson's addition to the active roster, though the 26-year-old reliever is likely to clear waivers based on his poor performance.

The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sauer was credited with a win Tuesday against the Padres, despite allowing three runs over 2.1 relief innings. He will head back to Oklahoma City to accommodate the return of Emmet Sheehan (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's contest.

Sauer (2-1) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings of relief, earning the win over the Padres on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sauer was in the game when the Dodgers rallied ahead with a five-run sixth inning. He proceeded give three of those runs back in the seventh, but the Dodgers held the lead to earn him his first win since April 29. Sauer is at a 6.18 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB through 27.2 innings over nine appearances (one start) this season. He's been often mediocre at best, but the Dodgers have had to dig deep due to numerous injuries to starters, allowing Sauer to be part of the group that covered innings. That leaves his status in the rotation as shaky at best, and with Emmet Sheehan (elbow) set for his season debut Wednesday, Sauer could soon be shifted to the bullpen or jettisoned from the big-league roster altogether.

Sauer (1-1) allowed nine runs on 13 hits and three walks while striking out six over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Sauer was terrible, but he was able to absorb some innings that was lacking in fresh arms. This performance could make Sauer's current stay with the big club a short one, especially after he needed 111 pitches (69 strikes) Tuesday. His ERA spiked up to 5.68 with a 1.38 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 25.1 innings over eight appearances (one start) at the big-league level.

EDGE Analysis
Sauer is expected to take on the bulk of the workload in Tuesday's game in San Diego, whether it be as a traditional starter or bulk reliever. The right-hander has collected a 3.05 ERA and 13:3 K:BB over 20.2 frames at the big-league level in 2025.
