Dodgers 2016 Player Review: Casey Fien
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsBack in May the Los Angeles Dodgers claimed Casey Fien off waivers from the Minnesota Twins. He arrived with a 7.90 ERA, 6.73 FIP, 1.76 WHIP and five home runs allowed in 13.2 innings pitched over 14 games with the Twins in 2016.
The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City and appeared in one game prior to clearing waivers and being sent outright to the Minors, removing Fien from the Dodgers’ 40-man roster.
After pitching to a 5.87 ERA, 1.70 WHIP, with two walks and nine strikeouts in six games (7.2 innings) with Oklahoma City, Fien joined the Dodgers on May 28.
