LOS ANGELES -- A trio of Dodgers minor leaguers were honored this week, all at the rookie level, with first baseman Scott De Jong, pitcher Andrew Sopko and outfielder Ariel Sandoval winning awards.
Sandoval was named the Arizona League Player of the Month after hitting .329/.341/.518 with four home runs, two doubles, a triple and 15 RBI in 22 games for the AZL Dodgers in July. The 19-year-old, signed by the Dodgers out of the Dominican Republic for a reported $150,000 in January 2013, also stole five bases without getting caught for the month.
