Dodgers Roster: Chris Stratton Designated For Assignment

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a flurry of roster moves before Monday’s game against the New York Mets, including designating Chris Stratton for assignment.

Stratton was DFA’d just over one week after signing with the Dodgers. That came upon the right-hander being designated for assignment and released by the Kansas City Royals.

Stratton had a 7.94 ERA, 4.13 FIP and 18.4% strikeout rate over 17 innings pitched for the Royals this season. The 34-year-old has pitched in parts of 10 seasons, making his MLB debut with the San Francisco Giants in 2016 and spending three seasons there.

In addition to the Royals and Dodgers, he as also pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals, Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels.

Although Stratton was added on to the Dodgers active roster on May 25, he did not get into a game for the team until six days later. Stratton allowed one run in the eighth inning of his Dodgers debut that came during an 18-2 rout of the New York Yankees.

Stratton pitched again on Sunday, again giving up just one run but pitching two innings.

Because Stratton has previously been designated for assignment in his career, he will have the option to reject a Minor League assignment if clearing waivers. Doing so would make him a free agent. That’s the path Dylan Floro recently elected to take after facing the same scenario.

Why did Dodgers DFA Chris Stratton?

The Dodgers’ DFA decision with Stratton was tied to the team needing to create room on their 40-man roster for Will Klein, who was acquired in a trade that sent Joe Jacques to the Seattle Mariners.
