Dodgers obtain left-handed pitcher Jason Wheeler from Twins for cash considerations

The Dodgers acquired left-handed pitcher Jason Wheeler from the Minnesota Twins for cash considerations. Wheeler was optioned to Oklahoma City.

To make room on the 40-man roster, infielder/outfielder Rob Segedin was moved to the 60-day disabled list. Segedin was placed on the 10-day disabled list on April 19th for a right great toe strain.

Wheeler had appeared in two games this season for the Twins, his first appearance was earlier this week, May 30th when he made his major league debut. He had pitched three innings this year for the Twins, he gave up six hits, five runs (three earned), walked four and had no strikeouts.
