Middleton has not pitched in the majors since 2023 - and was limited to just four minor league appearances in 2024 - as a slew of injuries derailed his promising career. Over his seven-year big league career, Middleton has pitched to a 3.84 ERA in 194.1 career innings with the Angels, Mariners, Diamondbacks, White Sox, and Yankees. There's not a lot of room in a crowded Dodgers' bullpen, but Middleton, if he stays healthy, gives Los Angeles another experienced righthanded arm.
