The management crew of the Dodgers made a few more notable minor league promotions on Friday, moving both corner infielder Edwin Rios and reliever Yaisel Sierra from Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
In 77 games for the Drillers this season, Rios was slashing a very impressive .317/.358/.533, and collected 21 doubles, 15 home runs and 62 RBI over 306 AB. At the time of his promotion, the 23-year-old left-handed hitting slugger was first in the Texas League in OPS, tied for second in long balls, third in batting average and second in RBI.
