The Los Angeles Dodgers made another wave of Spring Training cuts on Tuesday that brought the total number of players in big league camp down to 37.
Among those sent to Minor League camp were Bobby Miller and Hyeseong Kim. Giovanny Gallegos, Dalton Rushing, David Bote, Michael Chavis and Eddie Rosario were reassigned.
There still was more trimming to be done for the 31-man Dodgers travel roster that went to Japan.
Tony Gonsolin (beginning season on injured list) and Dustin May (building up at Camelback Ranch) did not make the trip with the rest of their teammates.
Clayton Kershaw also is going to start the season on the IL but he traveled with the Dodgers after not being present for the Seoul Series last year. Meanwhile, Nick Frasso, who had already been reassigned to Minor League camp, made the Dodgers travel roster.
Matt Sauer is with the team as well, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had already disclosed that as being the case.

How many players are on Dodgers travel roster?
The Dodgers are permitted to carry 31 players on their travel roster for Japan, but only 26 can be active during the Tokyo Series against the Cubs. The remaining five players will still be eligible to play in the exhibition games this weekend.
Moreover, there are three exempt roster spots that both the Dodgers and Cubs can utilize. These will likely apply to the starters who won’t pitch in the Tokyo Series.
That in turn will allow the Dodgers and Cubs to carry three extra relievers on their respective rosters.
