Sent to Triple-A Bruihl was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Bruihl made the Dodgers' Opening Day roster and has a 3.38 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 6:1 K:BB across eight innings, but he hasn't pitched in a week and will now head to Oklahoma City. Robbie Erlin, who served as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader, won't return to the minors and will instead remain with the big-league club.

Healthy for spring training Bruihl (arm) is listed among the Dodgers relievers scheduled to pitch in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Guardians, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bruihl will be making his second appearance of the spring after he struck out two over a scoreless frame Sunday against the Cubs. The 24-year-old southpaw looks like he's made a full recovery from the left arm injury that kept him sidelined late in the Dodgers' National League Championship Series loss to Atlanta last October.

Dealing with soreness Bruihl may not be ready to go for Game 6 of the NLCS against Atlanta on Saturday after experiencing soreness in his arm while warming up Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic rep...

Impact Bruihl tossed 18.2 innings with a 2.89 ERA in the regular season and has thrown two scoreless innings thus far in the playoffs. He's yet to be removed from the team's playoff roster, but it's a real possibility he will be if he's unable to contribute in a must-win game.

Secures third hold Bruihl picked up a hold against Arizona on Sunday, hurling a scoreless inning during which he allowed one hit and one walk.

Impact Bruihl came on in relief of starter Julio Urias in the sixth inning and allowed a pair of baserunners, but he was able to retire Kole Calhoun with runners on the corners to keep the Diamondbacks off the scoreboard. The hold was the third of the campaign for the rookie and his first since Aug. 21. Bruihl has struggled of late -- over his past four outings, he has given up four runs and six hits across 2.2 frames -- but he has posted a respectable 3.24 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 16.2 innings overall.

Opening again Wednesday Bruihl will start Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Bruihl served as an opener Monday against the Pirates and delivered a scoreless inning, and he'll do so again in Wednesday's series finale. Mitch White is expected to follow as the primary pitcher for the Dodgers.

Scoreless first inning Bruihl started Monday's 2-1 victory over Pittsburgh as the opener, allowing one hit in the first inning.

Impact After making his four appearances in relief, Bruihl made his first career start during Monday's win. He got through the first inning on just 12 pitches, but it's clear manager Dave Roberts planned for the rookie to pitch only one inning. Bruihl isn't a viable option unless he can be trusted with a larger role.

Starting Monday Bruihl will start Monday's game against the Pirates, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Bruihl has four appearances since receiving his first promotion to the big leagues last week, and he'll now make his first major-league start. The left-hander should cover an inning or two before turning things over to the bullpen.

Superb in big-league debut Bruihl tossed 1.2 scoreless innings against the Angels on Sunday, allowing no hits and one walk while striking out two.

Impact The southpaw's first major-league appearance was immediately stressful, as he entered with runners on second and third and only one out in the eighth inning. Bruihl handled the situation with aplomb, striking out Brandon Marsh to hold the runners before walking Shohei Ohtani and then inducing an inning-ending groundout. Bruihl returned for the ninth frame and retired the side in order to finish off the win. The positive first impression could help Bruihl -- who the Dodgers signed as an undrafted free agent in 2017 -- stick on the big-league roster while a host of the team's regular relievers are on the injured list.

Gets call to majors The Dodgers selected Bruihl's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact Los Angeles already had an opening on the 40-man roster after reliever Darien Nunez was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, and the team placed Garrett Cleavinger (oblique) on the 10-day IL on Sunday to clear a spot for Bruihl on the 26-man active roster. Bruihl will give the Dodgers another lefty weapon out of the bullpen after he limited same-handed hitters to a .128/.212/.191 slash line while striking out 21 in 47 at-bats between Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A this season.
