Dodgers Make Roster Moves, Including Adam Kolarek's Contract Selection.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have selected the contract of left-hander Adam Kolarek and optioned right-hander Andre Jackson to Triple-A while transferring outfielder Trayce Thompson to the 60-day injured list. Kolarek, who was a revelation for the Dodgers in 2019 and 2020, struggled with the Oakland A's before returning to LA on a minor league deal. He has dominated at the Triple-A level this season and figures to give the Dodgers an additional left-handed option in their bullpen. Thompson's oblique strain will keep him out for more than a month, but it is not expected to end his season.

Dodgers call up DeLuca as Thompson hits IL.

Jonny DeLuca, the Dodgers’ No. 20 prospect, was called up to the team after outfielder Trayce Thompson was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain. DeLuca, who grew up near Dodger Stadium, was a quick riser through the Dodgers’ system and has shown impressive power. He will likely start in left or center field against left-handed pitching and provide some speed on the bases. Thompson will be out for at least a month, giving DeLuca a chance to fill the vacant spot, but the Dodgers could explore external options over the next few weeks.
