The Dodgers have released Nick Nastrini<\/a>, according to his transaction log<\/a> on MLB.com. The right-hander made one appearance for the Tulsa Drillers, L.A.\u2019s Double-A affiliate, earlier this season. He failed to record an out and walked all three batters he faced.<\/p>\n

Nastrini, 26, began his professional career in the Dodgers organization. They took him in the fourth round of the 2021 draft, and he worked his way up to Double-A Tulsa. He was traded to the White Sox ahead of the deadline in 2023, along with Trayce Thompson<\/a> and Jordan Leasure<\/a>, in the deal<\/a> that sent Lance Lynn<\/a> and Joe Kelly<\/a> back to L.A.<\/p>\n

The following season, Nastrini made his MLB debut for the White Sox, pitching in nine games (eight starts). Unfortunately, the righty went 0-7 with a 7.07 ERA. He finished with more walks (36), hits (32), and earned runs (28) than strikeouts (26).<\/p>\n

Nastrini has not appeared in the majors since September 2024. He started the 2025 season down at Triple-A Charlotte. The Marlins and then the Dodgers claimed him off waivers in quick succession last July, and he finished the 2025 Triple-A season with an 8.56 ERA in 47.1 innings for three organizations. Once again, he walked more batters (50) than he struck out (49). Now a free agent, he is eligible to sign with a new organization that can hopefully help him improve his command and get back to the big leagues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dodgers have released Nick Nastrini, according to his transaction log on MLB.com.
