Ahead of the Wednesday evening deadline to protect qualified players from next month’s Rule 5 draft, the Dodgers announced today that they added righty pitcher Mitchell White, utility man Zach McKinstry and outfielder DJ Peters to the 40-man roster.
We discussed the deadline in depth yesterday speculating that was a lock while believing that White was on the bubble. The addition of McKinstry came as a complete surprise.
The 24-year-old White was originally selected in the second round of the 2016 MLB draft out of Santa Clara University.
