SHANE GREENE NEWS

Nabs first save of 2021 Greene recorded the save in Wednesday's 5-3 extra-innings victory over the Padres after tossing a perfect frame while striking out two in the process.

Impact Greene was called upon in the 16th inning to preserve a two-run cushion as the Dodgers' last remaining reliever available. The 32-year-old was able to get Eric Hosmer and Tommy Pham to go down swinging before including a groundout from Adam Frazier to finally end the game. Greene turned in a much better performance Wednesday after a shaky outing in his Dodgers debut, and overall he's struggled to an 8.84 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB over 18.1 innings this season. The right-hander was an All-Star as recently as 2019, so the Dodgers are hoping he can turn things around and help contribute toward another championship run.

Shaky in Dodgers debut Greene pitched one-third of an inning against the Mets on Sunday, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk.

Impact The right-hander hadn't pitched in a big-league contest for over three weeks before making his first appearance with the Dodgers on Sunday. He looked to be rather rusty, throwing only six of 14 pitches for strikes and plunking two of the five batters he faced. Greene was pulled after walking J.D. Davis to force in a run, and he had another run charged to his ledger after departing. He has had a frustrating season to date, posting a 9.35 ERA and 1.90 WHIP across 17.1 innings with Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Signs with Dodgers Greene signed with the Dodgers on Tuesday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Greene didn't have to wait long to find a new job, signing a contract just three days after getting released by Atlanta. He struggled significantly during his 17 innings for his former team, posting an 8.47 ERA and 1.82 WHIP, but the Dodgers will take a chance on him nonetheless. He should be far from completely over the hill, as he's still just 32 years old, and he had a 3.25 ERA and 1.20 WHIP from 2017 to 2020, so it's certainly possible he bounces back as a passable relief option. He's expected to join the big-league roster for the upcoming weekend series against the Mets.

Released after clearing waivers Atlanta released Greene on Saturday after he cleared waivers, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Atlanta DFA'd the righty Tuesday after he posted an 8.47 ERA in 17 innings this season. Despite his miserable 2021 campaign, Greene is only two years removed from being an All-Star and saving 23 games, so he may get another opportunity with a club in need of bullpen reinforcements.

Designated for assignment Greene was designated for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Greene never got things going this season after signing in early May, struggling to an 8.47 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 17 innings of work. He does have 66 career saves and posted an ERA below 3.00 in three of the last four seasons, however, so it's possible he gets claimed off waivers.

Still struggling Greene has a 10.64 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB through 11 innings since being promoted June 6.

Impact The right-hander's numbers are far from undeserved, as he's been scored upon in nearly half of his appearances (six of 13) this year for Atlanta. Greene's .394 BABIP should come down in the second half, but that likely won't be enough to salvage much fantasy value for him beyond the occasional hold.

Gets call to majors Atlanta recalled Greene from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact After inking a one-year deal with Atlanta on May 9, Greene spent most of the past month ramping up at the team's extended spring training site before heading to Gwinnett. He impressed during his four-appearance rehab assignment at Gwinnett, striking out five over 4.1 innings while giving up a run on four hits and two walks. Despite some occasional struggles this season, Will Smith appears locked in as Atlanta's closer, but Greene could quickly re-emerge as one of manager Brian Snitker's most-trusted setup men.
