BRENT HONEYWELL NEWS

Non-tendered by Dodgers The Dodgers non-tendered Honeywell on Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Honeywell ended the 2024 regular season on the Dodgers' 15-day injured list due to a cracked right fingernail, but he was added to the NLCS roster against the Mets. Honeywell made three postseason appearances, allowing nine earned runs on nine hits and three walks across 8.2 innings. The 29-year-old will enter free agency and look to sign with a team in need of right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

Added to NLCS roster Honeywell (finger) is part of Los Angeles' roster for the NLCS versus the Mets, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Honeywell ended the campaign on the 15-day injured list due to a cracked fingernail, but the issue appears to have since been resolved. The right-hander played in 18 games for the Dodgers during the regular season, posting a 2.62 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB over 34.1 innings while picking up a win, a save and a hold. Honeywell will take the roster spot of lefty reliever Alex Vesia, who is sidelined due to a rib cage injury.

Suffers cracked fingernail Honeywell was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a cracked right fingernail.

Impact Honeywell has pitched 37.2 innings split between time with the Pirates and Dodgers. He's been effective in a low-leverage role since his most recent promotion Aug. 31, maintaining a 3.21 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 14 innings.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up first win in relief Honeywell (1-1) picked up the win over the Guardians on Saturday, allowing one hit over two scoreless innings in relief.

Impact Honeywell was one of seven pitchers used by the Dodgers on Saturday, coming in to close out the final two innings as the team cruised to a 7-2 win at home. The right-hander retired six of the seven batters he faced over those two frames en route to earning his first win of the campaign. Honeywell had allowed at least one run in three-consecutive appearances coming in and still carries a 6.00 ERA over three innings in September (two appearances). Saturday also marked the first time in his last four outings that he didn't issue a walk.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Back with big club The Dodgers selected Honeywell's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Impact Honeywell was DFA'd by the Dodgers on Aug. 18 and was outrighted to Oklahoma City two days later. He's now back in the Dodgers' bullpen after Joe Kelly was placed on the 15-day IL due to right shoulder inflammation. Across his 10 outings with the Dodgers this season, Honeywell has a 2.21 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 20.1 innings.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Honeywell cleared waivers Tuesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Despite turning in a 2.21 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 20.1 innings during his time with the Dodgers, Honeywell went unclaimed off waivers and will now serve as organizational bullpen depth in the minors.

AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Dodgers The Dodgers designated Honeywell for assignment Sunday.

Impact Honeywell was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on July 13 after being DFA'd by the Pirates one day earlier. In his 10 outings with the Dodgers this season, Honeywell has a 2.70 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 20.1 innings. The 29-year-old may garner some interest on the waiver wire from a team in need of right-handed depth out of the bullpen. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers selected the contract of right-hander Ben Casparius from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Grabs save Thursday Honeywell picked up the save Thursday against the Giants, allowing one hit and no walks with a strikeout across a scoreless inning.

Impact Honeywell was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on July 13 and had fired seven scoreless innings leading up to Thursday's save chance. Interestingly, Daniel Hudson and Evan Phillips -- the Dodgers' primary ninth-inning options -- pitched the sixth and seventh, leaving Honeywell to snare his first save of 2024. It's unclear if Honeywell will be in line for more save chances going forward, but he's worth a speculative look on waiver wires.

Impressive in team debut Honeywell allowed one hit over three shutout frames during the Dodgers' loss to Detroit on Sunday. He struck out two batters.

Impact Honeywell was scooped off waivers by the Dodgers on Saturday and was thrown right into action. He was efficient, throwing 24 of 36 pitches for strikes and retiring the first eight batters he faced. With all the injuries the Dodgers are dealing with in the pitching staff right now, Honeywell could continue working as a multi-inning opener or bulk relief option. He's given up one run in 6.1 innings this season with the Dodgers and Pirates.

JULY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Getting start in bullpen day Honeywell will get the start for the Dodgers in Sunday's game against the Pirates in what's expected to be a bullpen day, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact After being claimed off waivers from the Pirates on Saturday, Honeywell was formally added to the 26-man active roster ahead of Sunday's series finale. He'll step into a prominent role right away for his Dodgers debut, as he'll be making his first big-league start since 2021. According to Plunkett, manager Dave Roberts said Honeywell is built up to handle about 40 pitches, so the Dodgers will presumably hope to get around two or three innings out of him before turning the game over to the bullpen. Honeywell will likely shift to a long-relief role coming out of the All-Star break.

JULY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Dodgers The Dodgers claimed Honeywell off waivers Saturday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Honeywell was DFA'd by Pittsburgh on Friday and didn't need long to find a new organization. Los Angeles will need to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, though a corresponding transaction has not yet been announced. Honeywell allowed one run and posted a 1:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings with Pittsburgh this season.

JULY 13 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Pittsburgh The Pirates designated Honeywell for assignment Friday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Pittsburgh selected the 29-year-old's contract last weekend, but he won't stick in the big leagues after he allowed one earned run with a 1:2 K:BB over 3.1 frames in two appearances. Honey could return to Triple-A Indianapolis, where he has a 4.85 ERA in 31 outings this year, if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Makes 2024 debut Honeywell allowed one hit across a scoreless inning Monday against the Mets.

Impact Mitch Keller covered eight innings for the Pirates and Honeywell entered the game for the ninth inning with a six-run lead. The outing marked his big-league debut for 2024, and he'll likely be in a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

Pirates starter Bailey Falter lands on 15-day injured list with left triceps tendonitis

Starter Bailey Falter has been placed on the 15-day injured list with left triceps tendonitis by the Pittsburgh Pirates

JULY 7 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Summoned to big leagues The Pirates selected Honeywell's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Impact Pittsburgh cleared room on the 40-man roster for Honeywell by designating fellow reliever Justin Bruihl for assignment and on the 26-man active roster by placing southpaw starter Bailey Falter (arm) on the injured list. The 29-year-old Honeywell previously made 40 relief appearances in the majors between the Padres and White Sox in 2023, logging a 4.82 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 52.1 innings. He's spent the entire season thus far at Indianapolis and hadn't pitched dramatically better (4.85 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 33:17 K:BB in 39 innings), so he'll likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role out of the Pittsburgh bullpen.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Sent outright to Triple-A Honeywell was outrighted Friday to Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Honeywell passed through waivers unclaimed after being pushed off the 40-man roster Wednesday and will remain part of the White Sox organization for the time being. The 28-year-old former top prospect has registered a 5.08 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 49:26 K:BB in 56.2 career major-league innings.
