Dodgers reassigned LHP Dana Eveland to minor league camp.
Eveland is still sidelined by a significant hamstring injury that has murdered his chances of cracking the Opening Day roster. A timetable for his return is not yet known. He'll try to work his way up from the minors once healthy. Eveland posted a 6.79 ERA over 12 games -- 10 starts -- for Toronto and Pittsburgh in 2010.

Fri Feb 18 201120:04Eveland will be sidelined for weeks
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Dana Eveland's strained left hamstring injury is "significant" and he expects the lefty to be sidelined "weeks, not days."
Eveland was injured Thursday during sprints. He was a poor bet to make the roster already, and his odds just became longer. The southpaw posted a 6.79 ERA over 12 games -- 10 starts -- for the Blue Jays and Pirates last season.

Thu Feb 17 201112:24Eveland hurt during sprints
Dana Eveland was injured during the third sprint of running drills Thursday.
It's not clear what the exact nature of his injury is, but Eveland's conditioning has never been a strong suit, so this shouldn't come as a big surprise. The left-hander pitched respectably in 2008 with Oakland but has been woeful the last two seasons. He's shooting to earn a roster spot as a non-roster invitee.

Mon Nov 22 201019:58Dodgers take a flyer on LHP Dana Eveland
According to Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times, the Dodgers have agreed to a minor league split contract with LHP Dana Eveland.
We're always skeptical of anyone that can't stick with the Pirates. The former top prospect posted an 8.38 ERA in three relief appearances in 2010 for the Buccos before being designated for assignment. He'll attempt to work his way back to the majors with the Dodgers.

Mon Jul 26 201017:25Eveland (elbow) placed on minor league DL
Dana Eveland has been placed on the minor league disabled list because of "some tightness in his elbow."
"We've got him shut down from throwing and are trying to rehab him back," said Pirates director player of development Kyle Stark. Eveland, who was acquired from the Blue Jays early last month, was demoted to the minors after posting an 8.38 ERA over three starts with the Bucs.

Thu Jun 24 201010:05Pirates designate Eveland for assignment
Pirates designated LHP Dana Eveland for assignment.
The club has yet to announce a corresponding roster move. Eveland posted an 8.38 ERA over three appearances for the Pirates, including a six-run implosion against the Rangers on Wednesday night.
Mon Jun 7 201015:54Eveland handed loss in Pirates debut
Dana Eveland took a loss in his Pirates debut after giving up three runs in five innings against the Cubs on Monday.
No strikeouts for Eveland. He still hasn't had more than four in any of his 10 starts this year, and since his command ranges from poor to middling, he has to get some swings and misses. He's not an option in NL-only leagues.
Tue Jun 1 201013:56Pirates acquire Eveland for Ronald Uviedo
Pirates acquired RHP Dana Eveland from the Blue Jays for RHP Ronald Uviedo.
The Bucs will hope that a move to the National League will help Eveland's confidence, as it has with many others. The 26-year-old righty was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays last week after opening the season with a 3-4 record, a 6.45 ERA and a 1.88 WHIP through nine starts.
Tue Jun 1 201012:42Report: Pirates planning to claim Eveland
Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Pirates are making plans to claim right-hander Dana Eveland off waivers.
Eveland was designated for assignment last week by the Blue Jays after opening the season 3-4 with a 6.45 ERA over nine starts. The 26-year-old has a 16-21 career record with a 5.66 career ERA, but would still make for a decent addition to the Pirates' struggling pitching staff.

Mon May 24 201010:27Jays designate Eveland for assignment
Blue Jays designated RHP Dana Eveland for assignment.
Eveland was already on shaky ground before Saturday's start against the Diamondbacks, but he sealed his fate by giving up eight earned runs over 1 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old right-hander was 3-4 with a 6.45 ERA over nine starts and was handed losses in each of his last three starts. As for who will replace him in the starting rotation, the Blue Jays will not need a fifth starter until May 31. Brian Tallet, who is currently rehabbing a forearm injury, is one candidate for the assignment.
Sun May 23 201020:14Report: Blue Jays to DFA struggling P Eveland
The Blue Jays will designate Dana Eveland for assignment on Monday, according to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian.
Eveland was lit up for eight earned runs in just 1 1/3 innings Saturday against the Diamondbacks and was terrible in three consecutive starts. He was 3-1 with a 3.82 ERA through six starts, but the smoke and mirrors act ended and his ERA has ballooned all the way up to 6.45 thanks to his last three outings. A corresponding roster move has not yet been announced.

Sat May 22 201022:57Eveland shelled for eight earned in loss
Dana Eveland was shelled for eight earned runs in just 1 1/3 innings Saturday as the Blue Jays fell to the Diamondbacks.
Eveland has struggled in three consecutive starts now and should be avoided in all fantasy formats until things start heading in the right direction. The strikeout numbers are not there and his ERA is up to 6.45 through nine starts. He'll try to improve next week against the Orioles.
Tue May 18 201000:50Jays' Eveland takes loss to Twins
Dana Eveland took a loss to the Twins after surrendering five runs -- three earned -- in four innings Monday.
Eveland has turned in a couple of gems, and his 4.98 ERA is far from the worst in the AL. Still, he's struck out just 20 and walked 25 in 43 1/3 innings and now he's starting to give up homers. He's probably not long for the Toronto rotation with Jesse Litsch, Brian Tallet and Mark Rzepczynski on the rehab trail.
Tue May 11 201022:18Eveland pounded once again by Red Sox
Dana Eveland surrendered six runs -- five earned -- in four innings Tuesday against the Red Sox.
Toronto should have known what they were going to get when they sent Eveland to the mound. He has now made five career starts against Boston and given up 30 earned runs in 16 1/3 innings. Eveland's ERA ballooned to 4.58 in this one. He's becoming a matchup-only pitcher in AL-only formats, as all three of his quality starts this year have come against the White Sox (two) and Orioles. Next time out, he draws the Twins, which means he should be benched in all formats.
Fri May 7 201000:04Jays' Eveland goes seven scoreless for win
Dana Eveland allowed two hits over seven scoreless innings Thursday in a victory over the White Sox.
The White Sox aren't providing much of a challenge these days, but it was a nice performance from Eveland, who outdueled fellow lefty John Danks. He's now 3-1 with a 3.82 ERA through six starts. However, two of those wins have come against the Pale Hose, with the other coming at the expense of the Orioles. Those are also his only three quality starts.
Mon Apr 26 201023:39Jays' Eveland lit up by Red Sox
Dana Eveland surrendered seven runs in three-plus innings Monday against the Red Sox.
The Jays didn't want to wreck their bullpen, so they sent Eveland back out for the fourth after a four-run third. The decision may well have cost the Jays the game, as Eveland never retired another batter and was charged with two more runs. Eveland has now made four career starts against Boston and given up 25 runs in 12 1/3 innings in the process. That's an 18.24 ERA, and it's respnsible for taking his career ERA from 4.91 to 5.47.
Tue Apr 20 201021:44Eveland's Blue Jays career off to good start
Dana Eveland allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision Tuesday against the Royals.
He labored, getting yanked in the sixth while closing in on 100 pitches. Eveland surrendered eight hits and two walks while striking out three. At least thus far, he has proved to be a worthwhile gamble for Toronto, who acquired him from Oakland over the winter. Eveland has produced a 1.93 ERA over 18 2/3 innings this year.
Thu Apr 15 201022:09Eveland improves to 2-0 with win over ChiSox
Dana Eveland improved to 2-0 on the year Thursday after delivering six innings of two-run ball against the White Sox.
The Jays won 7-3, which also happens to be their record on the young season. Eveland has been great, and has really done well inducing groundball outs. He has a 1.35 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP. The strikeouts won't be there often, but he's been a great source of scoreless frames thus far.
Sat Apr 10 201021:41Eveland tosses seven-plus scoreless in win
Dana Eveland tossed 7 1/3 scoreless innings Saturday as the Blue Jays nabbed a 3-0 victory from the A's.
Eveland shut down his old team with ease, racking up two strikeouts against just five hits. He showed impressive control and is certainly a guy worth tracking in AL-only leagues. Jason Frasor worked the ninth inning and picked up his third save of the year while also protecting the shutout.
