Claimed by Tigers The Tigers claimed Little off waivers from the Pirates on Thursday.

Impact Little went from the Dodgers to the Pirates via waivers in August but never made an appearance in Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old allowed two runs in three innings with the Dodgers in 2025 and held a 4.06 ERA and 53:22 K:BB over 62 frames at the Triple-A level.

Placed on waivers The Pirates placed Little on outright waivers Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Impact The Pirates claimed Little off waivers from the Dodgers in August, but he never made an appearance for Pittsburgh. He posted a 2.79 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 19.1 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis, however, which could be enough for another team to give the 27-year-old reliever a 40-man spot early in the offseason.

Scooped up by Pittsburgh The Pirates claimed Little off waivers from the Dodgers on Wednesday and assigned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Impact Pittsburgh had two open spots on its 40-man roster, and Little had three minor-league options left, so putting in a waiver claim for the 27-year-old reliever amounted to a low-risk move for the organization to burnish its bullpen depth. Little made two appearances at the big-league level for the Dodgers but had otherwise spent the entire season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, with whom he logged a 4.64 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB in 42.2 innings.

Bumped down to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Little to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Impact The Dodgers sent Little back to the minors to clear room on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Emmet Sheehan, who was recalled from Oklahoma City to start Sunday against the Astros. Little has served as a middle-relief option over his two stints in the big leagues this season, making two appearances while giving up two earned runs over three innings.

Rejoins Dodgers The Dodgers recalled Little from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Impact Little gave up two runs in two innings during his lone MLB outing this year, but he owns a 3.60 ERA and 1.37 WHIP through 35 innings in the minors. He'll work in middle relief for Los Angeles and take the place of Noah Davis on the active roster.

Back to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Little to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Impact After throwing two innings in his MLB debut Thursday, Little will return to Triple-A so the Dodgers can add a fresh arm to the bullpen in Will Klein. The 27-year-old owns a 2.20 ERA and a 33:14 K:BB over 32.2 innings with Oklahoma City.

Tosses two innings in MLB debut Little allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one batter over two innings in relief against the Padres on Thursday.

Impact Little had his contract selected from Triple-A ahead of the contest, and he finished off the game for the Dodgers by throwing 35 pitches (23 strikes) over two frames. Both runs the right-hander allowed came in the eighth inning, when San Diego racked up four hits against him. Little had a smoother ninth frame, as the only baserunner he allowed came on a hit-by-pitch. It's not yet clear what the Dodgers' plans are for Little moving forward, but he could return to the minors in short order if the team opts to bring up a fresher arm.
