(Photo /) | Eric Stephen Mon, at 1:10 AM UTC · 1 min read The Dodgers on Sunday afternoon made their second round of roster cuts in spring training, sending a dozen players to minor league camp, including top prospect Josue De Paula .
The Details
The other 10 players cut were non-roster invitees sent to the minor league side of camp — pitchers Carlos Duran, Carson Hobbs, Garrett McDaniels, Jackson Ferris, Wyatt Mills, Jordan Weems, and Lucas Wepf; catcher Griffin Lockwood-Powell, plus outfielders De Paula and Kendall George. These are the first cuts since 11 players were sent to minor league camp on March 2 .
De Paula is tied for the Dodgers’ lead this spring with 15 games played, playing every day but once since the Cactus League schedule kicked off on February 21, including the exhibition against Team Mexico last Wednesday. He had nine hits, including a double, in 27 at-bats this spring, with four walks and eight strikeouts.
Why This Matters
Wepf is the only player sent down on Sunday who has yet to play in a game yet this spring. After these roster moves, the Dodgers have 51 players remaining in minor league camp, including 26 pitchers and 25 position players.
