LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers activated right-handed pitcher Joe Kelly, selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Zach Logue and optioned right-handed pitchers Bobby Miller and Michael Grove.

Logue, 28, was signed by the Dodgers on September 12 and sent to Triple-A Oklahoma City. He made one appearance for OKC, allowing one run in 3.0 innings with one strikeout. The lefty had a 2.68 ERA in 23 games, including 12 starts, for Triple-A Gwinnett prior to joining the Dodgers organization. He has spent two seasons in the Major Leagues with Oakland (2022) and Detroit (2023) and he is a combined 3-8 with a 6.88 ERA in 17 games (10 starts).
