The Los Angeles Dodgers activate right-hander Brock Stewart from the injured list and designate infielder/outfielder Jonathan Hernández for assignment, the team’s roster moves indicate.
Both moves are part of the Dodgers’ ongoing effort to manage their 40-man roster. Stewart’s return gives the club an available bullpen option, while Hernández is removed from the roster to make room for a different player.
The outlets also note that the Dodgers have an opening on the 40-man roster that will be needed when starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow returns from injury next week. Hernández’s DFA marks the third time this season he is designated for assignment, underscoring the team’s shifting plans for the spot on the roster. After the DFA, Hernández can be claimed by another team or remain with the Dodgers depending on subsequent roster decisions.
