The Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned reliever Michael Petersen to Triple-A Oklahoma City for the second time this month. Petersen was last called up to the majors on July 9, and pitched in three games since.
Overall this season, Petersen has appeared in nine games for the Dodgers, posting a 3-0 record with a 4.50 ERA and eight strikeouts. He made his MLB debut this season, appearing in his first game on June 18. He last pitched in Sunday’s 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers, recording two outs.
The last time Petersen was sent down to Triple-A came after a disastrous two innings in which he allowed four earned runs in a 12-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
