Impact Feliz was in camp as a non-roster invitee and allowed three runs with a 1:0 K:BB over four Cactus League frames. The former All-Star has not seen any action at the big-league level since 2021 and will turn 37 in May.

Clears waivers Feliz recently cleared waivers and returned to the Dodgers' Triple-A roster, Oklahoma City Dodgers broadcaster Alex Freedman reports.
Impact Feliz was DFA'd by the organization late last week, but he has since returned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. The right-hander has given up only one hit and no runs in three innings for the big club this season, so there's a decent chance that he could be called back up before the end of the campaign.

Designated for assignment Feliz was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact Feliz tossed two scoreless innings across two relief appearances after his contract was selected Monday, but he'll be cast off the 40-man roster once again. Andre Jackson was recalled in a corresponding move to fill his spot in the bullpen.

Contract selected by Dodgers Feliz's contract was selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact Feliz was designated for assignment in late August but reported to the Triple-A club after he went unclaimed on waivers. The right-hander tossed five scoreless innings across three appearances since he returned to the minors, and he'll be available as a low-leverage reliever for the Dodgers.

DFA'd Tuesday The Dodgers designated Feliz for assignment Tuesday.
Impact Feliz threw a scoreless, one-strikeout inning Sunday in his only appearance with Los Angeles. Five years removed from his last season of effective relief work, the righty isn't likely to be a hot commodity on waivers. That being said, two teams have already employed him in 2021, so a third is not out of the question. Julio Urias (calf) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Effective in Dodgers debut Feliz pitched a perfect inning against the Mets on Sunday, striking out one batter.
Impact It was a quiet but effective debut for the right-hander, who was called up to the big club last week. He entered the game with the Dodgers trailing by three runs in the eighth inning and set the side down in order on 11 pitches (nine strikes). The appearance was Feliz's first in the majors since June 30.

Contract selected by Dodgers Feliz's contract was selected by the Dodgers on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Feliz signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers in early July, and he posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 18.2 innings across 13 appearances (one start) at Triple-A Oklahoma City. The right-hander should serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever with the major-league club.

Lands with Dodgers Feliz and the Dodgers agreed Tuesday on a minor-league contract, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Impact The 2010 American League Rookie of the Year is moving on to the seventh MLB organization of his career after a short-lived stint in Philadelphia. After posting a microscopic 1.26 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 14.1 innings at Triple-A Lehigh Valley to begin the season, Feliz received his first call-up to the majors since 2017 in late June. He struggled in both of his relief outings with Philadelphia (four earned runs allowed across one inning) and was ultimately cast off the 40-man roster. The Dodgers are hoping that he can rediscover his early-season form at Triple-A Oklahoma City before potentially providing a boost to the big-league bullpen in the second half.

Elects free agency Feliz cleared waivers and elected free agency Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Feliz made his first two major-league appearances since 2017, but he struggled mightily and gave up four runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two in one inning. He was designated for assignment Thursday, and he'll choose to become a free agent rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A. The 33-year-old began the season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, but it's not yet clear whether he'll land another contract during the second half of the 2021 campaign.

Cast off 40-man roster The Phillies designated Feliz for assignment Thursday, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact Feliz's first stint in the big leagues since 2017 went about as poorly as possible when he was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley last weekend. Over his two appearances out of the Philadelphia bullpen, Feliz recorded only three outs while surrendering four earned runs on four hits and a walk. The 33-year-old right-hander will likely head back to Triple-A if he goes unclaimed off waivers in the coming days.

Contract selected by Philly Feliz had his contract selected by the Phillies on Friday.
Impact The 33-year-old inked a minor-league deal with Philadelphia in December and is now poised to see his first big-league action since 2017. Feliz, who posted 72 saves for Texas between 2010 and 2011, has pitched well at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season with a 1.26 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 14.1 frames.
