Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated says the Los Angeles Dodgers have pulled Ted Lilly off of waivers, so the left-handed pitcher is staying with the team for the rest of the season. Heyman adds that the New York Yankees were at least one of the teams that claimed Lilly off of waivers.

Lilly was acquired by the Dodgers before the July 31st trade deadline. With an outside chance of making the playoffs, it was believed that Los Angeles may try to save on payroll and dump players such as Lilly.

Teams such as the New York Yankees and the San Diego Padres are known to be pursuing starting pitching in preparation for the final month of the season and the playoffs.

Lilly is making $12 million this season in the final year of his contract, and there’s a possibility the Dodgers may offer Lilly arbitration this winter.
