Chris Archer was being watched by scouts of multiple major league clubs during his start Friday.

Among the teams in attendance, the Los Angeles Dodgers had personnel in the bleachers observing the Tampa Bay Rays' right-hander, according to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick.

Archer struck out six batters over 7 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk in a 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

Despite the fact he he's 4-13 with a 4.68 ERA, he makes sense to the Dodgers after he was brought over to the Rays in 2011 by current Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman.

Los Angeles already has Clayton Kershaw, Alex Wood and Brett Anderson on the disabled list, with Wood and Anderson able to be used as trade chips, according to the report.

Over his five-year career, Archer has a 3.56 ERA in 682 innings, and finished top-five in Cy Young Award voting in 2015.
