The Los Angeles Dodgers selected the contract of Justin Dean from Triple-A Oklahoma City, replacing Luken Baker, who was designated for assignment. Esteury Ruiz was also optioned to Triple-A. Baker, claimed from the Cardinals, had marginal success, hitting .235/.366/.324 in 19 games this season. Dean is making his debut on the Dodgers' roster after a productive year in the minors, hitting .274/.370/.426 with 55 runs and 25 stolen bases. Dean offers excellent defensive skills and speed comparable to Ruiz, but with better capability in center field.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have selected Justin Dean from Triple-A Oklahoma City, designating Luken Baker for assignment, and optioned Esteury Ruiz to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Baker hit .235/.366/.324 in 19 games with the Cardinals this season but only appeared in one game for Triple-A Oklahoma City before being designated.
Justin Dean has been productive this season with the Comets, hitting .274/.370/.426 with six homers and 25 stolen bases, showcasing elite defensive skills.
Dean's versatility allows him to play all three outfield spots and handle center field better than Esteury Ruiz, who has been optioned to Triple-A.
