The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed left-hander Charlie Barnes off waivers from the Chicago Cubs and transferred infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man roster spot.

Barnes, 30, was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Monday. He gave up four runs (three earned) over three innings of his lone appearance this season on April 13 against the Philadelphia Phillies and was 3-1 with a 3.04 ERA in seven appearances (four starts) at Triple-A Iowa.

Barnes is 0-3 with a 6.15 ERA in 10 career major league appearances (eight starts) after last pitching in 2021 with the Minnesota Twins. He was a fourth-round draft pick by the Twins in 2017.

Barnes spent the previous four seasons pitching for Lotte in South Korea, where he went 35-32 with a 3.58 ERA in 94 appearances (all starts).

Edman, 31, underwent right ankle surgery in November, shortly after the Dodgers clinched their World Series title. He will be eligible to return from the IL later this month.

In seven major league seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals and Dodgers, Edman is a career .258 hitter with 72 home runs and 291 RBIs in 730 games.
