LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers added right-handed pitcher Carlos Duran to the 40-man roster and designated catcher Chuckie Robinson for assignment.

Duran, 24, has appeared in 30 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City, going 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA. He has 50 strikeouts in 35.0 innings while limiting hitters to a .203 batting average. He made his Major League debut last season on May 22 against the Angels as a member of the Athletics, allowing three runs in 0.1 innings. In seven minor league seasons, he is 10-22 with a 4.23 ERA and 443 strikeouts in 364.0 innings. The Dominican native was signed as an international free agent on March 8, 2018 by the Dodgers and reacquired on a minor-league contract December 12, 2025.

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers reinstated right-handed pitcher Evan Phillips and optioned right-handed pitcher Paul Gervase. In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers released left-handed pitcher Jake Eder.

Phillips, 31, has been out since May 7, 2025, recovering from Tommy John surgery. He made seven appearances last season, tossing 5.2 scoreless innings with six strikeouts. He made 12 minor league rehab appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City this year, striking out 13 batters in 10.0 innings with a 1.80 ERA. He enters his ninth Major League season with stops with the Atlanta Braves (2018), Baltimore Orioles (2018-20), Tampa Bay Rays (2021) and Los Angeles (2021-), and he is 16-12 with a 3.36 ERA in 250 games. He signed a one-year deal with the Dodgers on February 11.

Gervase, 26, pitched yesterday, throwing two scoreless innings with two strikeouts. He has appeared in 10 Major League games in his career, posting a 3.38 ERA with 16 strikeouts in 16.0 innings. With Triple-A Oklahoma City, he is 2-0 with a 3.60 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 25.0 innings. The 6-foot, 10-inch hurler was drafted by the New York Mets in the 12th round of the 2022 First Year Player Draft out of Louisiana State University.
