The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed with left-hander Andrew Heaney on a minor league deal Monday, marking his third official stint in the organization since 2014.
Heaney was released by the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday and the Oklahoma native is expected to report to Triple-A Oklahoma City. He is playoff eligible if he gets called up to the major leagues.
Heaney was a regular in the Pirates’ starting rotation this season but was moved to the bullpen amid ongoing struggles. After two relief outings, he was designated for assignment last Tuesday before he was released.
Heaney was 5-10 this season with a 5.39 ERA over 26 appearances (23 starts), with 84 strikeouts in 120 1/3 innings pitched.
The former first-round draft pick (ninth selection overall) of the Miami Marlins has a career 56-72 record with a 4.55 ERA over 229 appearances (208 starts for the Marlins (2014), Los Angeles Angels (2015-21), New York Yankees (2021), Dodgers (2022), Texas Rangers (2023-24) and Pirates.
Heaney’s first stint with the Dodgers was brief when he was acquired from the Marlins in a December 2014 trade then flipped to the Angels the same day.
