BRUIHL GOES TO COLORADO
The Colorado Rockies acquired pitcher Justin Bruihl from the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash.
What does it give the Colorado Rockies
In Bruihl, the Rockies add a serviceable left-handed reliever to their bullpen. Though he was designated for assignment recently, he had pitched effectively for the Dodgers for the past three seasons. With the Rockies, Bruihl should now work in the middle or late innings.
What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers had recently designated Bruihl for assignment, so he was clearly not in their future plans. They now free up a roster spot and receive cash to work with ahead of the trade deadline. The Dodgers are expected to make a few moves, so this should help get things started.
Fantasy impact
Bruihl could pick up a few holds if he pitches well for the Rockies. But a move to Colorado (and Coors Field) rarely benefits pitchers. Proceed with caution.
