One of those decisions included designating Charlie Barnes for assignment.
The Dodgers wrote (via X): “The Dodgers reinstated RHP Landon Knack from the injured list and optioned RHP Kyle Hurt to Triple-A Oklahoma City. In order to make room for Knack on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers designated LHP Charlie Barnes for assignment.”
Barnes has appeared in three games for the Dodgers this season.
