The Los Angeles Dodgers traded right-hander Ricky Vanasco to the Detroit Tigers on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Vanasco, 25, made his major league debut on April 15 and appeared in two games out of the Dodgers' bullpen. He allowed three runs on three hits in two innings, posting a 13.50 ERA with one strikeout.

Vanasco is 0-2 with a 3.47 ERA and five saves in 24 relief appearances this season at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

He was drafted in the 15th round by the Texas Rangers in 2017 and traded to the Dodgers on June 1, 2023, for left-handed prospect Luis Valdez.
