The Dodgers optioned Barnes to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. The left-hander was called up Friday and will return to Triple-A after delivering a scoreless frame in two appearances. Barnes has a 3.04 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB across 26.2 innings for Oklahoma City this year.
The Dodgers recalled Barnes from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports. The move corresponds with the Dodgers placing Blake Snell on the 15-day injured list due to loose bodies in his left elbow. Barnes was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers from the Cubs on Saturday, and the southpaw's addition to Los Angeles' 26-man roster gives the team added depth in the rotation. Across seven games (four starts) in Triple-A this season, Barnes has a 3.04 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB in 26.2 innings.
The Dodgers claimed Barnes off waivers from the Cubs on Saturday. Barnes lost his spot on the Cubs' 40-man roster Wednesday, but he'll reclaim a 40-man spot after being picked up by the Dodgers. The 30-year-old southpaw posted a 3.04 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 26.2 frames with Triple-A Iowa and will likely remain in the minors to begin his tenure with his new organization. Tommy Edman (ankle) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.
