Dodgers Make Reliever Signing Before Opening Day

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed right-hander Jake Cousins to a deal a day before the 2026 season started for the team.

The Dodgers are getting ready to make their MLB season debut on Thursday, but on Wednesday, the organization added Cousins on a major league contract.

Cousins, according to The Athletic’s Fadian Ardaya, is set to make a guaranteed $905,000 along with $50,000 in incentives if he makes five appearances and finishes on the active roster.

The move to add Cousins comes as Bobby Miller, the young fireballer, will start the 2026 season on the 60-day injured list.
