Amidst the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ current series with the Seattle Mariners, there has been a flurry of roster moves coming from LA’s front office.
On Tuesday, the Dodgers activated Kike Hernandez from the IL and optioned infielder Alex Freeland.
Before the Dodgers-Mariners game on Wednesday, another very pertinent roster move dropped, with the announcement that Edwin Diaz is being activated off the Injured List (elbow).
However, as is the case most times with roster news, it’s not great for everyone involved, and the player dealing with the roster casualty this time is pitcher Charlie Barnes, who has been designated for assignment.

Charlie Barnes, 30, has pitched in parts of two MLB seasons in his career, and his 2026 campaign has come with the Chicago Cubs and Dodgers.
With the Dodgers, he’s logged 10 innings and given up seven earned runs in the process, with five strikeouts. He’s a possible trade candidate, or if not, he could also be released from the organization if he doesn’t want to accept a minor-league assignment.
