Lands on injured list Hurt (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Impact The only update the team has provided thus far is that Hurt was cleared to play catch March 2, so it's unknown as to how close he is to a return after undergoing Tommy John surgery in July of 2024. It's likely a positive sign that he was placed on the 15-day IL versus the 60-day IL, though a timetable for his return won't start to come into focus until he gains clearance for side sessions and to face live batters.

Resumes light throwing Hurt (elbow) was been playing catch, per MLB.com.

Impact Hurt underwent Tommy John surgery last July. Though his ability to begin playing catch indicates he has taken a positive step in his rehab, the righty hurler isn't expected to return to game action this season.

Undergoing Tommy John surgery Hurt will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on July 30, Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation reports.

Impact Hurt was transferred from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day injured list earlier this week at Triple-A Oklahoma City and now the reason for his absence has been revealed. More clarity on a timetable should be available following the operation, but there's a good chance Hurt won't be an option for the Dodgers until 2026. The 26-year-old has tossed 8.2 innings and allowed one earned run at the major-league level across the two seasons and boasts a 36.3 percent strikeout rate in four minor-league seasons.

Set for promotion The Dodgers are expected to recall Hurt from Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's not clear whether Hurt will be used as a starter or reliever. He made the Opening Day roster as a member of the bullpen, but the 25-year-old has mostly been a starter in the minors, including this year with Oklahoma City where he's allowed three runs with an 8:4 K:BB over four innings.

Likely to work in bullpen Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Hurt has a "very good possibility" of being a relief option for the Dodgers during the season-opening series against the Padres in South Korea...

Impact The 25-year-old has prepped as a starter during spring training and is still viewed as a one long term, but he could help Los Angeles in relief to begin the season. Hurt's inclusion on the roster for South Korea doesn't necessarily mean he'll retain that spot once the Dodgers return stateside, but it could give him a chance to show why he should stick in the majors.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Returns to minors The Dodgers optioned Hurt to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Impact Hurt made an impressive showing during his MLB debut Tuesday, sitting down Fernando Tatis, Juan Soto and Manny Machado during the first of his two innings of work. However, the return of Joe Kelly (forearm) will send Hurt back to Triple-A. Hurt might still have a chance to return before the end of the season if the Dodgers need another fresh bullpen arm.

Impresses in big-league debut Hurt tossed two scoreless innings against the Padres on Tuesday, retiring all six batters he faced, including three by strikeout.

Impact The Dodgers were up 9-2 when Hurt entered in the eighth inning, so his outing can't be characterized as high-leverage. However, that doesn't diminish the right-hander's effectiveness -- threw 19 of 24 pitches for strikes overall and struck out the side in the ninth inning. His work in the eighth frame may have been even more impressive, as Hurt began his big-league career by making easy work of the heart of San Diego's lineup, including Fernando Tatis, Juan Soto and Manny Machado. The 25-year-old showed plenty of punchout prowess in fanning 145 batters over 88.1 innings in the minors this season, and he could bring a late-season boost to the Dodgers' bullpen if he can build upon Tuesday's eye-opening debut.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets call to big-league bullpen The Dodgers selected Hurt's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hurt will bring a whole lot of swing-and-miss with him as he arrives in the majors for the first time at age 25. He's expected to work out of the bullpen, possibly in a multi-inning role, and could be a consideration for the postseason roster if he performs well. The right-hander had registered a 3.87 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 145:41 K:BB in 88.1 innings (16 starts, nine relief appearances) this summer between Double-A and Triple-A.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shoving at Triple-A Hurt has a 3.75 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 21 strikeouts and a 50 percent groundball rate in 12 innings across three appearances since getting promoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 2.

Impact Hurt has been following an opener since getting to Triple-A, and his already elite strikeout rate has ticked up from 39.4 percent in 65 innings for Double-A Tulsa to 44.7 percent in the Pacific Coast League. His 40.2 percent strikeout rate on the season trails only org. mate Emmet Sheehan (41.4 percent) among minor-league pitchers with over 60 innings pitched this season, and his 28.5 K-BB% also ranks second to Sheehan, despite an elevated 11.7 percent walk rate. Hurt has a fastball that sits in the mid-to-upper 90s along with two swing-and-miss secondaries in his slider and changeup. His walk rate and age (25) are the only knocks against him at this point, and he has logged a career-high 77 innings after tallying 71.2 frames in 2022.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strikeout rate over 40 percent Hurt, 25, has a 3.99 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 98:24 K:BB in 56.1 innings for Double-A Tulsa.

Impact Hurt's 40.5 percent strikeout rate and 30.6 percent K-BB% are second this year for Double-A pitchers behind only organizational mate Emmet Sheehan. Granted, Hurt is 18 months older than Sheehan and unlike Sheehan, he is still at Double-A, but he has good stuff in his own right, with an upper-90s fastball, plus changeup and quality slider.
