LOS ANGELES -- Newly acquired relief pitcher Casey Fien cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, removing him from the 40-man roster.
The move allows the club to keep Fien as bullpen depth, while also preserving space on the 40-man roster, which now has 39 players, not counting those on the 60-day disabled list. The club is still responsible for the roughly $1.8 remaining on his $2.275 million salary for 2016.
Fien allowed a run on three hits in one inning in his Oklahoma City debut on Wednesday, but also struck out three.
