CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Yesterday, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced that RHP Nathan Eovaldi has been promoted from Chattanooga to Los Angeles. Additionally, OF Kyle Russell was activated off of the Lookouts disabled list and placed on the active roster.

Eovaldi posted a 2.08 ERA in four starts for the Lookouts but did not factor into any decisions. In 13 innings of works, he notched 14 strikeouts against just 10 hits and three walks.

The former 11th round pick began the 2011 season with Chattanooga, where he went 6-5 with a 2.62 ERA in 20 appearances (19 starts). He was promoted to Los Angeles and made his debut on August 6th. He went on to go 1-2 with a 3.63 ERA in 10 appearances for the Dodgers.

Per Baseball America, Eovaldi is the third best prospect in the Dodgers organization and possesses the top fastball among prospects in the organization.

Russell, who was placed on the disabled list on April 17th with a strained oblique, is hitting a team-leading .349 with two homers, four doubles, and six RBIs in 43 at-bats. He is listed as the 20th best prospect and the top power hitter in the Dodgers organization by Baseball America.
