Landon Knack - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Relegated to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Impact Knack has given up five runs in five innings since making his season debut July 11, so the Dodgers will send him down to Triple-A to get back on track. Charlie Barnes will come up from the minors to fill the resulting vacancy in the bullpen.

Works in long relief in 2026 debut Knack struck out two and allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks across three innings in relief Saturday in the Dodgers' 9-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact After being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday following a lengthy recovery from an intercostal strain, Knack was put to work right away in the Dodgers' penultimate game of the first half. With starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto getting chased from the contest after five innings, Knack mopped up in long relief, needing 60 pitches to record his nine outs. The right-hander made 19 starts at the big-league level over the previous two seasons, but he looks like he'll have to settle for a bullpen role unless another injury creates an opening in the Dodgers' six-man rotation.

Activated from injured list The Dodgers reinstated Knack (chest) from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Knack has been on the injured list since Opening Day due to an intercostal strain, but he's now been cleared to rejoin the Dodgers' pitching staff after giving up three runs in seven innings across three minor-league rehab outings. The 28-year-old righty has been used primarily as a starter throughout his career, but he'll most likely work as a long reliever while he eases his way back into big-league action. Kyle Hurt was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to free up a spot for Knack on the active roster, and Charlie Barnes was DFA'd to clear a 40-man spot.

Third rehab start on tap Knack (intercostal) will make his third rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Impact During his most recent outing Tuesday, Knack built up to 2.2 innings and 50 pitches (30 strikes) while striking out four batters and allowing no runs on one hit and one walk. He'll look to build up his pitch count a bit more Sunday and will likely require one more rehab start beyond that before potentially returning from the 60-day injured list coming out of the All-Star break. The Dodgers aren't expected to have a rotation spot available for Knack, but he could join the big club as a long reliever if he isn't optioned to Triple-A upon his activation from the IL.

Begins rehab assignment Knack (chest) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, yielding two runs on five hits and one walk over 1.1 innings.

Impact Knack struck out a pair in the outing and got his pitch count up to 33. The right-hander has been out all season with an intercostal strain, and he will be built up as a starting pitcher before likely remaining in the OKC rotation once he's activated from the 60-day injured list.
