Sent down to Triple-A Stone was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Impact Stone pitched six innings of relief and picked up his first career win Sunday, but with that workload making him unavailable for a few days, the Dodgers decided to send him down to open up a spot for fellow pitcher Tyson Miller. Stone has not been particularly sharp this season, but he remains one of his team's top pitching prospects, and he will have a chance to rejoin the big club before the campaign comes to a close.

First career win Stone (1-0) earned the win in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Red Sox. He allowed four runs on five hits and zero walks while striking out two over six innings.

Impact Recalled to make his first big-league appearance since July 4, Stone entered in the second and went six innings to earn his first career victory. Stone had allowed 17 earned runs over 12 innings over his previous four appearances but has pitched effectively in Triple-A since his most recent demotion, earning a 2.85 ERA with 49 strikeouts and 15 walks over 41 innings. It remains to be seen if this effort will earn Stone more opportunities moving forward for the Dodgers.

Slated for bulk relief Stone will serve as a bulk reliever for the Dodgers on Sunday in Boston, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Stone made three starts for the Dodgers back in May and they were all disastrous, so the team will see how he fares after following an opener. Caleb Ferguson has been pegged for opener duties. Stone posted a 2.85 ERA and 1.02 WHIP at Triple-A Oklahoma City after being demoted last month.

Promotion imminent Stone will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday to pitch against the Red Sox, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The Dodgers haven't determined whether Stone will start or follow an opener Sunday, but he will pitch in some fashion against Boston. The 24-year-old righty has allowed 17 runs across 12 innings in four major-league starts this season, but he's put up a 2.85 ERA and 1.02 WHIP since returning to Triple-A in July.

Sent back to minors Stone was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact He made a two-inning relief appearance for the Dodgers on Tuesday and is now being replaced with a fresh arm. Stone presumably will be re-inserted into Oklahoma City's rotation.

Works two innings Tuesday Stone was charged with a blown save against the Pirates on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out three batters over two innings.

Impact Stone was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday and got his first major-league look as a reliever in the fifth inning Tuesday. The right-hander gave up a pair of singles in his first frame but was able to escape trouble; however, he wasn't able to keep Pittsburgh off the scoreboard in the sixth, as the Pirates tallied a run on a trio of singles. Stone has struggled to get runners out in his first taste of the big leagues this season, posting a 12.75 ERA, 3.00 WHIP and 8:8 K:BB over 12 innings.

Back with big-league club Stone was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Stone will get the call to the big-league squad to give Los Angeles a fresh arm after Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) was sent to the 15-day injured list. Stone has gotten roughed up through three starts so far this season (14.40 ERA and 3.00 WHIP with a 5:7 K:BB across 10 frames), though he's drawn tough opponents in Philadelphia, Atlanta and Tampa Bay. The right-hander is expected to be available in long relief Monday night in the event Michael Grove struggles.

Optioned back to Triple-A Los Angeles optioned Stone to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Stone got knocked around again Sunday against the Rays and has now surrendered 17 runs -- 16 earned -- through his first three major-league starts covering just 10 innings. Alex Vesia will join the Dodgers' bullpen Tuesday in a corresponding roster move, with Michael Grove (groin) lined up to fill the rotation vacancy next weekend versus the Yankees.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to lose rotation spot Stone is expected to be replaced in the Dodgers' rotation by Michael Grove (groin), Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Stone has been blasted for 17 runs (16 earned) over 10 innings covering three starts with the Dodgers, most recently getting walloped for seven runs on 10 hits while recording just six outs Sunday versus the Rays. While Stone still appears to have the much brighter future than Grove, it's not a surprise to hear that the latter will be given the next turn in the Dodgers' rotation. Stone, for what it's worth, was still in the big-league clubhouse Monday, although he'll surely be sent back to Triple-A Oklahoma City to start rather than be sent to the Dodgers' bullpen.

Tagged for 10 in Tampa Stone did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits over two innings against the Rays. He struck out three.

Impact It was a nightmare of an outing for Stone, who allowed seven runs on 10 hits over just two innings. Stone has allowed 16 earned runs over his first three MLB starts (10 innings), putting his ERA at 14.40 with a 3.00 WHIP and 5:7 K:BB. The Dodgers still view Stone as a long-term rotation piece, but he doesn't seem ready to face MLB lineups yet.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picking up another start Stone is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field.

Impact In his return to the majors Monday in Atlanta, Stone took a no-decision in the Dodgers' 8-6 win after working four innings while allowing five earned runs on five hits and five walks. Despite his poor results in his first two big-league starts, Stone will get at least one more chance to prove he belongs in the rotation while the Dodgers are short on healthy starting options. Michael Grove (groin) looked sharp in his first rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City last weekend, and once he's activated from the 15-day injured list, he could be an option to take Stone's spot in the rotation if the rookie's struggles continue in Tampa.

Stumbles early Stone yielded five runs on five hits and five walks over four-plus innings in Monday's win over Atlanta. He struck out one and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Atlanta jumped on Stone early, plating four runs in the first inning. He tossed a few scoreless frames before walking two batters to begin the fifth inning. Stone was charged with one more run after leaving the game. The right-handed rookie has given up nine runs with an ugly 2:7 K:BB through his first two career MLB starts. It's unclear if he'll get another turn in the rotation.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled for start Stone was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Stone will start Monday in Atlanta and will have an opportunity to prove he should stick around for a while as the Dodgers battle injuries in their rotation. The right-hander struggled in his major-league debut earlier this month and has been up-and-down at OKC, although he pitched better there lately. Stone's upside warrants him being rostered, although it would be wise to keep him on the bench for Monday's outing.

Starting Monday Stone will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Monday in Atlanta, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact It won't be just a spot start for the 24-year-old, as manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander will fill the rotation spot of Dustin May (forearm) for the "foreseeable future." Stone made his big-league debut May 3 versus the Phillies and surrendered four runs on eight hits with two walks and one strikeout over four frames, but he posted a 2.45 ERA with 14 strikeouts in two starts since returning to Triple-A.
