He allowed eight earned runs with a 4:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio over five innings.
The 28-year-old is a Southern California native who joined his hometown team, the Dodgers, in 2021 after L.A. claimed him off waivers.

Bikcford's last season in Los Angeles was disappointing as he recorded a 2-3 record and a 5.14 ERA. Ultimately, the Dodgers DFA'd him in late July 2023. After his stint with the Dodgers, he finished the 2023 season with the New York Mets and signed a minor league deal with the Yankees in April 2024.
