The Los Angeles Dodgers selected the contract of Andrew Vasquez and optioned Ryan Meisinger to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. Scott Alexander was transferred to the 60-day injured list in order to make room for Vasquez on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster.
He was acquired Tuesday night in a trade that sent Minor League pitcher Stevie Berman to the Minnesota Twins. Neither Berman nor Vasquez were on the 40-man roster, which made the Minor League trade a possibility.
Furthermore, because it was finalized roughly 10 minutes before Sept. 1, Vasquez is eligible to appear in the postseason for the Dodgers.
