The Los Angeles Dodgers and relief pitcher Robbie Erlin have agreed to a minor league deal, according to Baseball America. Erlin last pitched for the Atlanta Braves and Pittsburgh Pirates in 2020 where he compiled a 5.40 ERA with four strikeouts in two appearances across 3 1/3 innings pitched.

He allowed just six home runs and ...
