Dodgers option Yimi Garcia to Triple-A to make room for Mat Latos

LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers on Sunday activated the newly-acquired Mat Latos in time to start the series finale against the Angels at Dodger Stadum. To make room on the roster, relief pitcher Yimi Garcia was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Garcia is 3-2 with a 3.99 ERA in 41 appearances this season, with a bullpen-leading 54 strikeouts and just nine walks in 38u2153 innings. Garcia also leads the bullpen with seven home runs allowed, which helped send him down to Triple-A just before the All-Star break.

He was recalled from Oklahoma City on July 26 and pitched in one game in this major league stint, pitching a perfect inning with one strikeout on Tuesday against the Athletics.
