Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Chayce McDermott, a right-handed reliever acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers from Baltimore in April 2026, was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on May 17 and made his Dodgers debut on May 18 with one scoreless inning against the Angels. However, he was optioned back to Triple-A Oklahoma City on May 19 after just one appearance, as the Dodgers signed veteran reliever Jonathan Hernández. McDermott has transitioned to a full-time bullpen role and is part of the Dodgers' ongoing pitching shuffle due to significant injuries to their rotation (Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow) and bullpen (Edwin Diaz).
Strengths
- + Scoreless debut appearance for Dodgers
- + Strong strikeout rate (21 K in 15.1 IP in 2026)
- + Low home runs allowed (0 HR in 15.1 IP)
- + Acquired via trade indicating organizational confidence
- + Successful transition to full-time bullpen role
Weaknesses
- - Optioned after just one appearance
- - Elevated ERA of 4.11 in limited 2026 action
- - High WHIP of 1.24 indicating baserunner issues
- - Blown save on record (1 in 10 appearances)
- - Limited opportunity with major league club despite recall
