The Dodgers optioned reliever J.T. Chargois to the minors after Chargois, a darling of spring training, struggled to throw strikes in May. Chargois walked seven batters and permitted seven runs in 6 2/3 innings this month. Chargois will try to sharpen his mechanics with triple-A Oklahoma City, manager Dave Roberts indicated.
"For Chargois, it was more about trying to clean some things up with the delivery," Roberts said before Wednesday's game against Colorado. "The slider's been inconsistent. He's definitely part of the solution. But to get him out of the every-day fire, or whatever it is, of trying to perform up here, give him a chance to catch his breath.
