Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Orioles in March of 2026. Traded to the Dodgers in April of 2026.
Dealt to Dodgers
The Orioles traded McDermott to the Dodgers on Thursday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Axel Perez, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Analysis
McDermott was DFA'd by Baltimore on Saturday, but his move to the Dodgers will put him back on a 40-man roster. The 27-year-old has made all five of his appearances at Triple-A this year, where he's given up four earned runs across 5.1 innings while striking out nine batters and walking six. He'll report to Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin his tenure in his new organization.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Acquired from the Astros at the 2022 trade deadline, McDermott made his major-league debut in 2024 with a spot start for the Orioles shortly after the All-Star break. Most of his season was spent at Triple-A Norfolk, where he held a 3.78 ERA with 144 strikeouts but also 60 walks over an even 100 innings. McDermott has fanned batters at a robust 33.7 clip during his time in the minors, but that's been undermined somewhat by a 13.8 percent walk rate. The 26-year-old also missed much of the second half last season with a shoulder problem, although he finished the year healthy. McDermott has the stuff to be at least a mid-rotation starter but will need to throw more strikes before the Orioles can trust him with a rotation spot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might get another MLB start
The Orioles haven't announced a starting pitcher for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, and McDermott is one of the leading candidates to pitch after the club designated veteran Kyle Gibson for assignment Sunday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis
The 26-year-old made his MLB debut in a doubleheader Thursday and gave up four earned runs with a 5:3 K:BB over three innings, and he'd be allowed to be quickly recalled by Baltimore since he was promoted as the 27th man for that twin bill. Despite the poor showing in his big-league debut, McDermott had a 3.78 ERA in 22 outings for Triple-A Norfolk last year and offers some upside as one of the organization's top prospects.
