After taking three of four from the San Diego Padres over the weekend, the Los Angeles Dodgers are beginning a new MLB series this week, this time against another division rival in the Colorado Rockies.
LA currently still holds the best record in baseball and has a whopping 14-game lead in the NL West.
During the Padres series, Los Angeles made a wave of roster moves, which included releasing a pitcher.

Per multiple reports, including an official statement by the Los Angeles Dodgers, Jake Eder has been released from the Dodgers organization.
Jake Eder’s MLB Career
Jake Eder came up with the Chicago White Sox in 2024.
Originally a Vanderbilt University product, Eder was drafted by the Miami Marlins in the 4th round of the 2020 MLB draft. In 2024, Eder pitched 2.0 total innings and gave up one earned run.
His most extended look in the bigs came in 2025 with the Angels. He pitched 18.1 innings with the Halos, but gave up 10 earned runs.
Fast forward to 2026, Jake Eder landed with the Dodgers, and over four innings pitched, he surrendered one earned run with one strikeout and one walk.
It will be interesting to see if another MLB team that needs a left-handed pitcher to add to their organizational depth gives him an opportunity.
