Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Zach Neal has cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Neal was designated for assignment this past week when pitcher Alec Asher was claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles.
Neal had his contract selected by the Dodgers last week to aid their bullpen after a 15-inning marathon with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He took the place of Josh Fields on the active roster, as Fields was placed on the paternity list.
Neal appeared in just one game before being designated for assignment, giving up two hits and one run in an inning against the Diamondbacks on April 3.
