DYLAN DODD NEWS

Sent back to minors Atlanta optioned Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Impact Dodd gave up a couple runs in a two-inning relief appearance Wednesday versus Milwaukee. He's being replaced on the roster by Parker Dunshee, who will give Atlanta a fresh bullpen arm.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Back with big club Atlanta recalled Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Dodd will provide length in the bullpen after Bryce Elder had an abbreviated start Tuesday against the Brewers. The left-handed Dodd was up briefly with Atlanta last month but didn't make an appearance. He holds a 4.85 ERA and 82:28 K:BB over 91 innings this year at Gwinnett.

Sent back to minors Atlanta optioned Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Impact Dodd didn't make an appearance during his brief stint with the big club. He's being replaced on the roster by Allan Winans, who will start the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Summoned from Triple-A, could start Atlanta recalled Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Impact Dodd should be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's series finale with the Cardinals, but Atlanta may prefer to stay away from the left-hander so that he can make a start during the club's upcoming three-game series with the Reds this week. Atlanta has an opening in its rotation after Max Fried was surprisingly placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday in a corresponding move due to left forearm neuritis. After turning in a 7.60 ERA over seven starts with the big club in 2023, Dodd has pitched exclusively for Gwinnett thus far in 2024, logging a 4.99 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 76:26 K:BB across 83 innings.

Lines up for big-league start Dodd is among the top candidates to make a spot start for Atlanta on Tuesday against the Astros, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dodd had a tough start Thursday night for Triple-A Gwinnett, allowing five earned runs across 4.2 innings while allowing six hits and two walks to go along with five strikeouts. However, he had pitched very well in two prior outings with Gwinnett, putting himself in the conversation for a promotion. His start Thursday notably puts him on turn with the vacated spot in the big-league rotation. Darius Vines and Bryce Elder are also vying for the job, and they are scheduled to pitch Friday and Saturday, respectively, for Gwinnett. If either is scratched, it could be an indication that they will get the call in place of Dodd.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to Triple-A Dodd was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Monday.

Impact Dodd is a good bet to make some starts with the big club this season, but as things stand right now there's no room for him. The left-hander held a 7.60 ERA over seven starts with Atlanta last season.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard in finale Dodd (2-2) allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out one over six innings Sunday against the Nationals. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Dodd gave up a four-spot to the Nationals in the first inning and then allowed another run to score in the second. He was able to settle in the rest of the way, allowing three hits over the next four innings and exited with the game tied at five. The 25-year-old finishes the year with a 7.60 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB over 34.1 innings (seven starts) and should be expected to start next season at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Promoted for Sunday's start Dodd was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The 25-year-old was previously announced as Atlanta's probable starter for Sunday, and he's now officially been added to the MLB roster. Dodd has a 7.62 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 14:11 K:BB across 28.1 innings (six starts) this season, but he'll receive a chance to end the campaign on a positive note with game No. 162 being meaningless for Atlanta.

Starting Sunday Dodd will be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dodd's last big-league start dates back to Sept. 9 against the Pirates, when he surrendered four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two across four innings. He'll be tasked with eating innings for Atlanta with little left to play for before the postseason begins.

Sent to Triple-A Dodd was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Impact Dodd made his first big-league start since June versus the Pirates on Saturday, but he'll return to Triple-A after he surrendered four runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings. The left-hander has a 7.62 ERA and 14:11 K:BB across 28.1 frames in the majors this season, so he likely won't be atop the list of candidates should Atlanta need another spot starter down the stretch.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles versus Pittsburgh Dodd (2-2) allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two over four-plus innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Pirates.

Impact Dodd's first major-league outing since June 14 didn't go very well. He ran into trouble in the third inning when the Pirates rallied for three runs, and more issues emerged before he got a quick hook in the fifth. The rookie left-hander has a 7.62 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 14:11 K:BB over 28.1 innings across six starts. Darius Vines allowed one run over three innings in a relief assignment Saturday, so it's unclear if Dodd will be in the mix for any starts beyond this one, especially if Kyle Wright (shoulder) is activated next week.

Will get start Saturday Dodd will be called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Saturday in Atlanta against the Pirates, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dodd made the Opening Day rotation out of camp this spring, but he has posted an ugly 7.40 ERA in five major-league starts (24.1 innings) and a 6.55 ERA in 69.1 innings at Triple-A. The 25-year-old is a risky fantasy streaming option, even versus Pittsburgh.

Impact Dodd was making his first appearance for Gwinnett since June 22 after missing nearly six weeks due to the unspecified injury. The 26-year-old southpaw has previously made six starts for Atlanta this season, but after compiling an 8.02 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 42.2 innings through his 10 outings with Gwinnett, he's unlikely to receive another promotion anytime soon.

AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts up rehab assignment Dodd (undisclosed) began a rehab assignment last Thursday with Atlanta's rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, striking out four over 3.1 perfect innings.

Impact Dodd's appearance in the FCL was his first at any level since June 22. He landed on Triple-A Gwinnett's 7-day injured list shortly after that outing, but based on his performance Thursday, Dodd likely isn't far away from rejoining Gwinnett's rotation. Dodd previously made five starts with Atlanta earlier in the season, but even once healthy, the lefty could find himself behind all of AJ Smith-Shawver, Michael Soroka, Allan Winans and Jared Shuster for a promotion if the big club requires another starter at any point.

JULY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shelved at Triple-A Triple-A Gwinnett placed Dodd on its 7-day injured list June 24 with an unspecified injury.

Impact Dodd was included in Atlanta's season-opening rotation and made spot starts with the big club on three other occasions in May and June before being optioned to Gwinnett. Following his most recent demotion, Dodd was roughed up for eight runs (seven earned) on 10 hits and two walks over four innings in his lone start with Gwinnett on June 22 before he was deactivated two days later. Atlanta hasn't provided any details regarding the nature of Dodd's injury or when he might be ready to return.

Back in minors Atlanta returned Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett following Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

Impact Dodd was called up Wednesday to start Game 2 and ended up allowing all five of Detroit's runs across four innings. The 25-year-old lefty now holds a 7.40 ERA in the majors across 24.1 innings and will return to Triple-A where his numbers aren't much better (7.07 ERA and 1.73 WHIP through 35.2 IP).

JUNE 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up, starting Game 2 Dodd was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett and will start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

Impact Dodd will operate as Atlanta's 27th man for the doubleheader and draw his fifth major-league start of the season. To this point, the left-hander has posted an inflated 6.64 ERA and 1.77 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 20.1 innings with Atlanta. His Triple-A numbers are actually less impressive as he owns a 7.07 ERA over 35.2 frames in eight outings with Gwinnett. Dodd seems likely to be sent back down following Wednesday's spot start.

JUNE 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Dodd was sent down to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Impact Dodd will return to Gwinnett after being recalled for Thursday's start, surrendering four runs on seven hits a walk while striking out three batters over five innings in a no decision versus the Phillies. The decision to return the left-hander to Triple-A could suggest that Michael Soroka is set to make his season debut with Atlanta, though nothing official has been announced.

Yields four runs over five frames Dodd pitched five innings in a no-decision against Philadelphia on Thursday, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three batters.

Impact Dodd was recalled from Triple-A prior to the game and gave Atlanta five innings, but he wasn't sharp. The rookie surrendered three runs in the second inning and another in the fifth, and he served up two homers among the seven hits he allowed. Dodd also continued to post subpar strikeout numbers -- with his three punchouts Thursday, he's struck out just 10 batters over 20.1 innings as a big-leaguer. On the plus side, the southpaw at least managed to keep Atlanta in the game, which may be enough to earn him another turn in the rotation, though it's also possible that Michael Soroka is called up to make his first major-league start since 2020.
