The Los Angeles Dodgers have bolstered their pitching staff by recalling hard-throwing right-hander Seth Halvorsen from their Triple-A team. Halvorsen, acquired in a trade with the Colorado Rockies during the mid-season deadline, is known for his fastball that can reach speeds of up to 101.9 mph (163.9 km/h).

Halvorsen had been on the 15-day injured list since early July due to right shoulder inflammation. He recently completed six scoreless innings over six rehabilitation games for the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate. His return to the major league roster could see him make his debut for the Dodgers as early as today.

In 21 relief appearances this season, the 26-year-old Halvorsen posted a 4.74 ERA with 17 strikeouts and 15 walks in 19 innings. The Dodgers also recalled left-handed pitcher Charlie Barnes, who has a 6.92 ERA in five relief appearances this season.

To make space on the roster, the Dodgers optioned 28-year-old right-handed pitcher Kyle Hurt to Triple-A. Additionally, 30-year-old right-handed pitcher Jonathan Hernandez was designated for assignment (DFA) for the second time since June 30.
