The Dodgers now have 39 players on the 40-man roster, excluding those on the 60-day disabled list.
The Dodgers on Tuesday designated third baseman and outfielder Alex Guerrero for assignment, removing him from the 40-man roster and effectively ending his tenure with the team.
Tuesday was the decision day for the Dodgers, with Guerrero's minor league rehab assignment coming to an end on Sunday followed by a travel day on Monday. Guerrero spent the maximum 20 days allowed for position players on assignment per the collective bargaining agreement.
The Dodgers had to activate Guerrero from the disabled list and either add him to the active roster or remove him from the roster, as his contract stipulates that he cannot be sent to the minors without his consent, something Guerrero has no intention of granting.
