McDermott had been booted off the Dodgers' 40-man roter last week. The 27-year-old has spent nearly all of the 2026 season at the Triple-A level, logging a 4.55 ERA and 52:26 K:BB over 31.2 frames. McDermott has permitted 20 runs over 15 innings during his brief time at the major-league level.

McDermott will end up as the roster casualty necessary to free up a 40-man spot for Cole Irvin, who was selected to the big-league roster Friday. McDermott has spent the vast majority of the 2026 campaign in the minors, posting a 4.55 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 31.2 innings between the Dodgers' and Orioles' Triple-A affiliates.
