Stewart is a huge pickup for the Dodgers, who have four injured relievers at the deadline in Michael Kopech, Tanner Scott, Evan Phillips and Brusdar Graterol. With Scott on IL, the Dodgers may need to shift recently reinstated Black Treinen into the closer role, opening a spot for Stewart as a setup man.

The Dodgers need a boost, as they are slipping in the NL West, and a little more bullpen stability would work wonders for them as they head into a series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.
