Scouting Report: Chayce McDermott
Baltimore Orioles | SP
Overall
Summary
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)
