Andrew Heaney: Breaking News
Booted from active roster
The Dodgers optioned Heaney to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. Heaney had his contract selected Saturday and threw two innings of relief in his team debut, allowing three earned runs on four hits and one walk. Since Heaney wouldn't have been available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Mariners, the Dodgers opted to call up Landon Knack from Triple-A to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen.
Contract selected
The Dodgers selected Heaney's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. Heaney secured a minor-league deal at the beginning of September after being cut by the Pirates, and he has since given up just one run while striking out 13 batters over 10 innings in Triple-A. The 34-year-old southpaw's turnaround has now bought him another chance to contribute in the majors as a long reliever during the final two games of the regular season. Will Klein was optioned to the Arizona Complex League to clear room on the active roster, and Nick Frasso (undisclosed) was moved to the 60-day IL to create a 40-man spot.
