LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Monday added pitchers Trevor Oaks and Dennis Santana to their 40-man roster, which protects them from being selected in the Rule 5 Draft in December.
With 40 players already on their roster, the Dodgers had to make room for Oaks and Santana. To do so, pitcher Josh Ravin was designated for assignment and Grant Dayton was claimed off waivers by the Braves.
The general rule of thumb is that players drafted or signed out of college in 2014 or earlier, or out of high school in 2013 or earlier are eligible for the Rule 5 Draft.
