Dodgers' Kyle Hurt: Recalled from Triple-A
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest on Kyle Hurt with the Dodgers:
- Kyle Hurt returned to the Dodgers’ MLB roster in April 2026, after being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill a roster spot. This marked a key step in his return from Tommy John surgery and a potential bullpen role.[2][5]
- Reports in April 2026 indicated Hurt was set to make his long-awaited return to the big leagues, with his spring and rehab appearances suggesting he could contribute out of the bullpen in 2026.[3][2]
- By mid-April 2026, Hurt had been recalled to the Dodgers and was expected to be used in middle relief, continuing his comeback from surgery and building up innings in the majors.[5][6]
Context and what to watch next:
- Monitor Dodgers press releases and beat writers for updates on Hurt’s role (bulpen vs. depth) and any changes to his health/rehab progression, as the team has been managing his workload carefully during the return from Tommy John surgery.[2][3]
- If you’re tracking fantasy implications, Hurt’s role and durability will determine whether he’s a viable bullpen option for the Dodgers in short stints, with early 2026 reports suggesting he’s in the mix for middle relief.[5]
Illustration (example): Imagine Hurt as a relief pitcher on a ladder, gradually climbing back from a major elbow surgery, starting with depth bullpen appearances and moving toward a steady mid-innings role as he builds up innings and confidence.
