"Frasso was non-tendered by the Dodgers back in November, but the 27-year-old returns on a minor league deal that should give him another chance to make his major league debut. He was traded to the Dodgers back in August of 2022, starting in Double-A before cracking Triple-A in August of the following year. The Dodgers added him to the 40-man roster in November 2023, though he ended up going through labrum surgery on his shoulder and a procedure on his hip."
"He missed the entire 2024 season and did not return until 2025. He made 43 appearances, posting a 5.49 ERA. His fall in performance after his surgery was a shame, since right before the injury and procedure, he was the No. 2 overall prospect in the team's farm system, according to MLB.com. The Dodgers clearly still believe he can contribute to the team if he gets right once again."
"His fastball hovers around 94.6 mph, and his pitch mix is solid. Frasso projects as a long-relief option out of the bullpen in the majors, especially since the Dodgers already have the best rotation in baseball. Considering the reliever woes that the back-to-back champions endured last season, he should get an extended look over the spring and could potentially contribute down the line."
The Los Angeles Dodgers added right-hander Nick Frasso on a minor-league contract after non-tendering him in November. The 27-year-old was traded to the Dodgers in August 2022, advanced to Triple-A in 2023, and was placed on the 40-man roster that November. Frasso underwent labrum surgery and a hip procedure, missed the entire 2024 season, and returned in 2025, making 43 appearances with a 5.49 ERA. His fastball averages about 94.6 mph and his pitch mix remains solid. The Dodgers view him as a potential long-relief bullpen option who could receive an extended look in spring training.
