The Dodgers have acquired right-hander Jack Flaherty from the Tigers and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier from the Blue Jays.
The Tigers gave Flaherty a one-year, $14 million contract during the offseason, and he has rebounded nicely after several years of injuries and inconsistent performances. He's 7-5 with a 2.95 ERA, 133 strikeouts and just 19 walks in 106⅓ innings.
Among pitchers with at least 100 innings, he ranks fifth in lowest OBP allowed , fifth in strikeout rate and 13th in wOBA allowed.Flaherty has thrown five innings or more in all 18 of his starts this season, the longest streak by any Tigers pitcher since Rick Porcello in 2014 . No Dodgers pitcher has had as long a streak since 2022.Detroit entered Tuesday seven games back in the AL wild-card race.
Kiermaier, a four-time Gold Glove winner, said last week that he intends to retire at the end of the season. In his 11th season, he's batting .195 with four home runs and 18 RBIs in 81 games. He signed a one-year, $10.5 million contract in the offseason with the Blue Jays, who had put the 34-year-old on waivers earlier this month amid his struggles at the plate.
