LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers got a day of respite for their bullpen, and on Friday added a little more flexibility to their bench. Carlos Frias was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City one night after soaking up the four innings against the Padres, and the Dodgers called up outfielder Andrew Toles from Triple-A.
To make room for Toles on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers designated Cole Figueroa for assignment. Figueroa was claimed off waivers from the Pirates on June 28.
After throwing nine innings on Wednesday and 19u2154 innings over the previous three days, the Dodgers bullpen saw only one reliever pitch on Thursday, with Casey Fien recording the final out of the fifth inning, throwing eight pitches.
