Advertiser Staff and Wire Reports

LOS ANGELES — Looking to shore up their bullpen, the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired left-hander Terry Mulholland from the Pittsburgh Pirates for right-hander Mike Fetters, an Iolani graduate, and minor league left-hander Adrian Burnside.

The 36-year-old Fetters was 2-1 with one save and a 6.07 ERA in 34 relief appearances for the Dodgers this season. He made the team as a non-roster player last year, and went 6-2 with five saves and a 3.24 ERA in 51 games. He has appeared in 507 games in 13 big-league seasons. He was drafted by Anaheim in 1986.

Earlier this season Fetters was placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a cervical spasm in his neck.

Fetters was injured after he attempted to change his mechanics during a series in Anaheim.

Mulholland, 38, started once and relieved 21 times for the Pirates this season, going 0-0 with a 3.72 ERA in 36 1-3 innings. He currently is in the process of completing a rehabilitation assignment for a broken left index finger.
