Former Dodgers left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson has logged a career-high season ERA since being traded from the Dodgers. While pitching for the Astros, the southpaw allowed a walk-off two-run home run against the Rangers on Monday.
After the Houston Astros’ controversial 2017 World Series championship, some Dodger fans might find satisfaction in knowing that a former Dodger is playing a role in their downfall.
Ferguson, 28, landed with the Astros at this year’s trade deadline. He was traded by the New York Yankees to Houston for right-handed pitcher Kelly Austin and future considerations.. This season is Ferguson's first outside the Los Angeles franchise, and he does not seem to be adjusting well. Throughout his two appearances with the Astros, the Columbus, Ohio native has recorded four strikeouts and no walks while allowing five hits and three earned runs. In the first half of the season with the Yankees, he threw 41 strikeouts and 16 walks and allowed 34 hits and 19 earned runs across 33.1 innings.
Before pitching for the Astros and Yankees, Ferguson threw for the Dodgers for five seasons. He was one of the last picks in the 2014 draft, being the 1149th overall pick in the 38th round. He spent four years in the minor leagues before making his MLB debut on June 6, 2018.
