With a personnel crunch looming on their 40-man roster and in their starting rotation, the Dodgers shook up their pitching staff Monday afternoon.
The team decided to designate veteran starter James Paxton for assignment, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation who weren’t authorized to speak publicly.
A 35-year-old left-hander who signed a one-year contract with the Dodgers in the offseason, Paxton had given the team’s short-handed rotation important innings over the first half of the season, going 8-2 in 18 starts.
