In 41 2/3 innings over his past six starts, De Leon has a 1.30 ERA with 46 strikeouts.

Oklahoma City’s Trevor Oaks threw a three-hitter Monday in an 8-1 victory — finishing a four-game sweep by the Dodgers’ Triple-A team over El Paso.

The 23-year-old Oaks, who took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, notched a career-high 11 strikeouts in addition to registering his first complete game this season. The right-hander has pitched well of late, recording seven quality starts in his last eight outings with a 2.40 ERA.

Anderson
By Bart Harvey

The last player taken by the Dodgers in the 2015 draft has again made a good first impression.

After being called up from Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, Isaac Anderson surrendered one run and seven baserunners in five innings, while striking out six, in his debut Sunday for Double-A Tulsa.

Anderson started the season in Single-A Great Lakes with a 4.22 ERA in 81 innings (16 starts) to earn a July 17 promotion to Rancho Cucamonga. During his brief stint with the Quakes, the 22-year old right-hander went 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA in 16 innings, limiting opponents to a .155 batting average in his three appearances (two starts).

By Jon Weisman

A year after being drafted in the sixth round by the Dodgers, Brock Stewart turned in a reasonably solid 2015. He had a 2.84 ERA in seven starts for low Single-A Great Lakes, then got the half-step promotion to Rancho Cucamonga.

Things were moving in the right direction. The right-hander got roughed up for eight runs in his first start for the Quakes and logged a 5.43 ERA for them, but progress is progress. In 2016, he’d have every opportunity to move up another level.

Or two …

Or three …

Remarkably, after beginning 2016 at Single-A, the 24-year-old Stewart has climbed all the way to the Major Leagues, where he will be making his MLB debut for the Dodgers as their starting pitcher against Milwaukee tonight.

  • Cotton allowed four runs in five innings Sunday, but still has 82 strikeouts in 68 2/3 innings this year for Triple-A Oklahoma City.
