LOS ANGELES _ The Los Angeles Dodgers added a reliever to their roster by acquiring right-handed pitcher Jaime Schultz from Tampa Bay in exchange for minor-league pitcher Caleb Sampen.
Schultz, 27, posted a 5.64 earned-run average for the Rays in 2018. He struck out 10.4 batters per nine innings, but walked five batters per nine innings. Schultz arrives with a minor-league option.
The bullpen currently features Kenley Jansen, Joe Kelly, Scott Alexander, Pedro Baez, Dylan Floro, Caleb Ferguson, Tony Cingrani and Josh Fields, among others.
Sampen, 22, was a 20th-round pick in 2018.
