The Los Angeles Dodgers announced ahead of Game 2 of their doubleheader against the Washington Nationals that Yimi Garcia was added to the active roster as the permitted 26th man. Additionally, Erik Goeddel was activated and added to the active roster.
Pat Venditte was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in order to create room for Goeddel, who was claimed off waivers from the Seattle Mariners on Friday. He is out of Minor League options, so he had to be added to the big league roster.
The 29-year-old has gotten off to a good start to the season so far, pitching in five Major League games for the Mariners, allowing four hits and one run in 7.
