Dodgers Roster: Dennis Santana Designated For Assignment
The Los Angeles Dodgers designated Dennis Santana for assignment in order to add Andy Burns to their 40-man roster. Mitch White was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City as the second corresponding move to get Burns active with the team.
Santana now is on waivers and presumably is a strong candidate to get claimed despite his inconsistent performance. Should that be the case, the Dodgers figure to work out a trade involving Santana.
If the right-hander manages to clear waivers, a return to Oklahoma City could be in the cards. Santana was optioned to the Dodgers’ top affiliate on May 27.
