The Los Angeles Dodgers activated right-hander Brock Stewart from the injured list Monday and optioned right-hander Chayce McDermott in advance of a road series opener against the Minnesota Twins.
The move puts Stewart in position to face his former club this week. The 34-year-old was moved from the Twins to the Dodgers at last season’s trade deadline.
Since rejoining Los Angeles on July 31 of last year, Stewart has made just six major league appearances. He pitched four times before he went on the injured list last season with a shoulder injury that eventually required a clean out procedure.
Stewart made his 2026 debut on May 6 but went on the IL again after two appearances with a bone spur in his left foot.
In 135 appearances (11 starts) over eight seasons, Stewart is 10-5 with two saves and a 4.44 ERA for the Dodgers (2016-19, 2025-26), Toronto Blue Jays (2019) and Twins (2023-25).
McDermott, 27, has made two appearances for Los Angeles this season and is 0-1 with a 12.00 ERA in seven career appearances (two starts) for the Baltimore Orioles (2024-25) and Dodgers.
