Dodgers promote Christian Zazueta to Double-A after strong High-A season

The Los Angeles Dodgers have promoted 21-year-old pitcher Christian Zazueta to Double-A, following his impressive performance in High-A where he posted a 3.88 ERA with 66 strikeouts over 48.2 innings this season. Zazueta, ranked as the Dodgers' 8th prospect, was acquired from the New York Yankees in exchange for Caleb Ferguson prior to the 2024 season. In June, he delivered an outstanding performance against the Lake County Captains, throwing five perfect innings and striking out seven batters. His ascent through the Dodgers' minor league system has included strong outings at various levels, earning him the Minor League Pitcher of the Year award in 2025. With the pitching depth in the Dodgers' rotation, Zazueta's MLB debut is projected for 2028 if he continues to excel.
