Dodgers promote pitcher Cam Leiter to advanced Class-A Great Lakers

The Los Angeles Dodgers have promoted pitcher Cam Leiter from Class-A Ontario to advanced Class-A Great Lakers as of August 20, 2026. Leiter, who did not pitch in college last year due to shoulder surgery in October 2024, has made a strong comeback with a 3.09 ERA and 66 strikeouts over 43.2 innings in 2026. The right-hander, a second-round draft pick in 2025, is part of a family legacy of major league pitchers, including his uncles Al and Mark Leiter. He showcased his recovery by striking out five batters in his last outing on August 16, touching 98 mph, indicating he’s returning to form. Further progress will be monitored as he adjusts to higher competition levels.
