The Dodgers announced theyve designated right-hander for a signment. They needed to create a 40-man roster spot for , whom they from the Mets this morning. Los Angeles optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to open a spot on the active roster. Los Angeles signed Salazar to a minor league deal early last offseason. The 26-year-old cracked the big league roster in April. He only made it into one game, to sing two scorele s innings of relief. Salazar has otherwise spent the season in OKC. He has worked out of the rotation at the top minor league level. Salazar has taken the ball seven times and thrown Daniel Sedin Jersey 33 2/3 innings. He has allowed 5.61 earned runs per nine with a well below-average 13.7% strikeout rate. To his credit, Salazar has kept the ball on the ground at a huge 58.6% clip in Oklahoma City. He posted similar numbers last season as a member of the Cincinnati organization. Salazar had a 51.1% grounder rate in eight MLB appearances with the Reds. He induced worm-burners at a 54.8% clip for their Triple-A team in Louisville, but a subpar 16.1% strikeout rate contributed to him allowing more than a run per inning. The Dodgers have a week to trade Salazar or put him on waivers. The Venezuela native went unclaimed on outright waivers after being designated by Cincinnati last summer. That gives him the right to decline any additional outright a signments in his career, so hed be able to elect free agency if he clears again. Jonathan Lekkerimaki Jersey
