Dodgers Trade Acquisition Dominant Through 2 Triple-A Outings

July 27, 2026 - 05:21

The Los Angeles Dodgers' recent trade for right-handed reliever Seth Halvorsen is already looking like a savvy move. Acquired from the Colorado Rockies last week, Halvorsen has made a strong early impression in the minor leagues. Through his first two outings with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City, the 25-year-old has been nearly untouchable.

Halvorsen has thrown two scoreless innings, striking out four batters while allowing just one hit and issuing no walks. His fastball has consistently sat in the upper 90s, and his slider has generated several swing-and-misses. The Dodgers are known for developing pitchers, and Halvorsen's early command and stuff suggest he could be a quick call-up option for the big league bullpen.

The trade itself was a low-risk move for Los Angeles, sending minor league infielder Ben Ross to Colorado. Halvorsen was originally a 10th-round pick by the Rockies in 2023 and has posted a 3.63 ERA across 17 innings in Double-A and Triple-A this season. With the Dodgers dealing with injuries in their bullpen, Halvorsen's dominant start in Triple-A puts him firmly on the radar for a potential major league debut later this summer.
