Dodgers Acquire Ryan Loutos, Claim J.P. Feyereisen

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired right-handed pitcher Ryan Loutos from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for cash considerations, after Loutos was designated for assignment by the Cardinals to make room on their 40-man roster. Loutos, a Washington University graduate with a background in computer science, had a brief major-league stint this season and posted a 3.38 ERA in eight appearances for Triple-A Memphis. The Dodgers also claimed right-handed pitcher J.P. Feyereisen off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks, assigning him to Triple-A Oklahoma City. To make room on their 40-man roster for these two additions, the Dodgers transferred pitchers Michael Kopech and Blake Treinen to the 60-day injured list. Both Loutos and Feyereisen are expected to provide bullpen depth in the Dodgers' system, with Loutos likely joining Triple-A Oklahoma City until needed at the major-league level.
