The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed Bobby Wahl off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers, marking the second pitcher they have added in such a manner this season. L.A. previously claimed Phil Bickford from Milwaukee, and the right-hander has emerged as a valuable contributor.
Wahl was originally selected in the fifth round of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Oakland Athletics out of the University of Mississippi. He made his debut with the A’s in 2017 and has also pitched for the New York Mets in addition to the Brewers.
The Brewers designated Wahl for assignment on Thursday as a corresponding move on their 40-man roster to select Aaron Ashby for his MLB debut.
