Nick Frasso returned from shoulder and hip surgeries that wiped out his 2024 season for a full 2025, but he struggled in Triple-A to end his time with the Dodgers.
Back healthy in 2025, Frasso began the season starting and pitching in bulk relief for Oklahoma City, but switched to a more traditional relief role in mid-May. The total results were only so-so, with a 5.49 ERA in 77 innings and career worsts in both strikeout rate (19.7 percent) and walk rate (12.1 percent).
Frasso did not pitch for the Dodgers in 2025, but technically did get the call to the majors on September 27, though only to be placed on the 60-day injured list in a procedural move that allowed for Andrew Heaney to be called up to pitch the penultimate day of the regular season. Frasso for his efforts earned his first two days of major leaguer service time.
Stats: 5.49 ERA in Triple-A, 77 IP, 68 K, 42 BB
Salary: $8,172 in majors (two days worth of the $760,000 minimum salary)
If Frasso ends up back on the 40-man roster, Frasso has one option year remaining.
