The Los Angeles Dodgers designated DJ Peters for assignment in order to add Danny Duffy to their 40-man roster after he was acquired from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for a player to be named later.
It was a bit of a surprise considering Peters was selected by the Dodgers in the fourth round of the 2016 MLB Draft. Though, the power-hitting outfielder has been plagued by struggles to avoid high strikeout numbers.
Peters has continued to work on improving in that area, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was optimistic there would be strides made this year after seeing him in Spring Training.
