Hart claimed by Dodgers
Left-handed reliever Donnie Hart has been claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hart, who was designated for assignment on March 1 to make room for infielder Hanser Alberto, posted a 5.59 ERA and 2.224 WHIP in 20 appearances with the Orioles last season.
Hart has only pitched one inning this spring, retiring the side in order with two strikeouts. He has a career ERA of 3.43 and a 1.500 WHIP in 93 major league appearances, all with Baltimore.
Hart was drafted by Baltimore in the 27th round of the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft out of Texas State University. He spent most of the 2018 season with the Triple-A Norfolk Tides, where he went 3-2 with a 2.41 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 32 games.
To make room on their 40-man roster, the Dodgers have designated right-handed reliever Josh Fields for assignment.
