Dodgers News: Former player traded to Mariners, Tyler Glasnow update, Miguel Rojas

The seven games Buddy Kennedy spent with the Dodgers in 2025 made him, on a pure technicality, a World Series champion. The Dodgers picked him up off of waivers from the Blue Jays on Aug. 15 and activated him immediately when Max Muncy went onto the IL with an oblique strain.

Kennedy got six starts in Muncy's absence and picked up exactly one hit and one RBI in 17 at-bats. Unsurprisingly, he was DFA'd as soon as Kiké Hernández came off the IL.

He cleared waivers but refused an assignment to Triple-A and elected free agency instead. He went back to the Blue Jays, then became a free agent again at the end of the season.

A minor league deal with the Giants lasted all of six months before he was DFA'd again and traded to the Mariners — the eighth major league organization of his career — for cash considerations on Sunday. What a carousel for Kennedy.

Dodgers still treating Tyler Glasnow with caution after resuming throwing

Tyler Glasnow has moved at a snail's pace since hitting the IL with back spasms in early May. It's been hard to keep track of all the starting and stopping, but there's been so little progress that it was totally unsurprising when the Dodgers moved him to the 60-day earlier in June.

According to Dave Roberts, Glasnow has started a throwing progression again, but the Dodgers are being "very cautious right now." If he's right at the beginning of his latest attempt at a comeback and will presumably need a considerable amount of time on a rehab assignment, the Dodgers probably shouldn't expect him back for at least another month — and that's only if they don't run into any more setbacks.

Miguel Rojas working to get his family out of Venezuela after deadly earthquakes

Miguel Rojas told reporters on Friday, after a series of earthquakes killed thousands in his home country of Venezuela, that his wife and two children were in Caracas when they struck. Thankfully, no one in the Rojas family was harmed.

"Literally two blocks away from where my family was, two buildings collapsed. The whole buildings," he said. "I'm lucky. I'm really lucky to have my family still alive and still with me."

Rojas has since said he's working to get his family out of the country. Players across the league have worn VZ in honor of Venezuela on their caps since the earthquakes, with Wilyer Abreu showcasing his support on Sunday Night Baseball against the Yankees.
