The Los Angeles Dodgers selected the contract of Andy Burns and optioned Mitch White to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. Dennis Santana was designated for assignment in order to add Burns to the 40-man roster.
Burns joins the Dodgers as they again are facing more injury concerns after Max Muncy and Cody Bellinger were both removed early from the series opener against the Texas Rangers. Muncy experienced right side tightness, which Dodgers manager Dave Roberts alluded to potentially being an oblique issue.
Bellinger came out in the bottom of the fifth inning because of left hamstring tightness.
