Moronta was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Moronta rejoined the big-league club Tuesday and delivered a scoreless inning during his one appearance before heading back to the minors. The 29-year-old has given up two earned runs with a 9:3 K:BB across nine innings for the Dodgers this year, and he figures to return to the majors as part of the bullpen shuffle later in the summer.

The Dodgers recalled Moronta from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll be swapped into the bullpen for Michael Grove, who was optioned to Triple-A after going unused in relief during his two-game stint with the big club. The 29-year-old Moronta previously appeared in seven games for the Dodgers, giving up two earned runs while striking out seven over eight innings.

Moronta was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moronta has given up two runs with a 7:3 K:BB over eight innings since having his contract selected in late April, but he'll head to Triple-A in favor of a fresh arm after tossing two frames Saturday. The 29-year-old is a strong bet to rejoin the big-league club later in the year as part of the bullpen shuffle.

Moronta threw a scoreless inning against San Diego on Sunday, allowing one hit and striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Moronta joined the Dodgers as a non-roster invitee in March and was promoted to the big club Sunday. The right-hander served up a double in his team debut but otherwise navigated through a scoreless inning with relative ease, throwing a strike on 17 of 22 pitches. Moronta's career body of work includes a 2.63 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 11.0 K/9 over 133.1 innings, but this was just his fifth major-league appearance since 2019 as injuries have thrown him off course. Should the 29-year-old pitch well and maintain his health, he could cement a place in the Dodgers' bullpen, though his role will likely be limited to low-leverage work for now.

Moronta had his contract selected by the Dodgers on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moronta joined Los Angeles as a non-roster invitee in March and failed to make the Opening Day roster, but he'll join the team ahead of Sunday's series finale in San Diego. The 29-year-old posted a 2.86 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 70:33 K:BB over 56.2 innings for the Giants in 2021, but he appeared in only four games over the past two seasons while dealing with elbow issues.

The Dodgers reassigned Moronta to minor-league camp Monday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moronta was one of nine non-roster invitees that the Dodgers shipped out of big-league camp with Opening Day just four days away. The 29-year-old righty owns a 2.65 ERA and 29.5 percent strikeout rate over 136 career MLB relief appearances with the Giants, but multiple arm-related issues have limited him to just four big-league innings over the last three years. He'll need to prove his health at Triple-A Oklahoma City before getting a look out of Los Angeles' bullpen.

Moronta signed with the Dodgers as a non-roster invitee Saturday and will make $1.5 million if he earns a roster spot, Juan Toribio of MLB.com report.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old righty has talent but has been injured too frequently to showcase it in recent seasons. He owns a 2.65 ERA in 132.1 career major-league innings despite a 13.3 percent walk rate, but just four of those innings have come in the last two seasons due to shoulder and elbow troubles.

Moronta passed through waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moronta made four relief appearances for the Giants at the start of the season before suffering an elbow injury that kept him out until late July. He's been with Sacramento since then, first while on a rehab assignment and then after getting optioned as soon as he was activated off the injured list. He'll remain there going forward but is now one step further from returning to the majors.

The Giants activated Moronta (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Sidelined since mid-April with a sprained ligament in his right elbow, Moronta was cleared to begin a rehab assignment July 22. With the right-hander having reached the maximum amount of days he was eligible to spend on the assignment, the Giants had to reinstate him from the 60-day IL and clear a spot for him on the 40-man roster. Moronta posted a 2.25 ERA over his 10 appearances at Triple-A, but his ugly 7:8 K:BB in eight innings likely made the Giants unwilling to make room for him in the big-league bullpen.

Moronta (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander hasn't seen game action since April 10 while dealing with a sprained elbow, but he's now entered the final stage of his rehab program. Moronta likely will need multiple appearances in the minors to get back up to game speed given the length of his absence.
