The Los Angeles Dodgers made significant roster changes by activating Michael Kopech off the injured list and designating Chris Stratton for assignment before facing the Cardinals. This marks Stratton's second DFA since joining the team, just one day after he re-signed. Kopech, returning from a right shoulder injury, hasn't had promising results during his rehab, posting a 15.63 ERA in Triple-A. The team is seeking fresh options for its heavily utilized bullpen, which has led the league in pitched innings.
Kopech is on the Dodgers roster for the first time this season after beginning the year on the 15-day injured list due to a right shoulder impingement.
Stratton's DFA is his second since joining the Dodgers on May 25, and comes one day after he re-signed with the team.
Stratton has made three appearances for the Dodgers, with his most recent coming in their series opener at Busch Stadium.
Kopech began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on May 8 and appeared in nine games over the course of three-plus weeks.
