Dodgers Make Surprising Roster Move, Designate James Paxton For Assignment
Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher James Paxton has been designated for assignment. Robert Murray, an MLB insider of FanSided, was the first to announce the news.
Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic added that the Dodgers made this move to clear a 40-man roster spot to active pitcher River Ryan, who will make his debut today against the San Francisco Giants.
Paxton made his last appearance with the Dodgers on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox, where he got the start. The Dodgers were almost unbeatable with him on the mound, going 14-4 as Paxton recorded an 8-2 record himself in L.A.
