The Los Angeles Dodgers designated Casey Sadler for assignment in order to create room for Alex Wood on their 40-man roster. The team made the signing of Wood to a one-year contract official on Wednesday.
The Dodgers now have seven days to trade, release or outright Sadler off the roster. He joined the team four weeks before the trade deadline this past season as one of the early steps the Dodgers took toward addressing their bullpen.
Sadler was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for Nathan Witt. Up to that point Sadler had only appeared in a combined 20 games over parts of the 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2019 seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Rays.
