Although there have been no official announcements yet regarding the Dodgers minor league assignments, tweets are beginning to come in from players regarding their respective assignments. Here’s what we’ve got so far (and there are undoubtedly many more out there in the Twittersphere):
ThinkBlueLA has also learned that Quakes playoff heroes Cody Bellinger and Jacob Scavuzzo have been assigned to Double-A Tulsa. And although there has been no official confirmation yet, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Friday afternoon that Julio Urias will be in the rotation at Triple-A Oklahoma City along with Carlos Frias, Zack Lee.
Roberts also said on Friday that Dodgers top right-handed pitching prospect Jose De Leon will not be going to Oklahoma City.
“I don’t see De Leon to start there and I think that there’s a little bit of innings limit, so I don’t know where he’s going to start,” said Roberts of De Leon. “There might even be thoughts of kind of holding him back just a little bit just to kind of start him a little bit later on the season. I don’t know exactly.”
Roberts was quick to add that the 23-year-old Isabel, Puerto Rica native is not hurt.
There will undoubtedly be additional tweets (etc.) throughout the day on additional minor league assignments.
Stay tuned…
Can’t wait for the minor league rosters to take shape. Looking forward to watching Matt with the Loons and Cody with the Drillers. Tulsa with Central Time not too bad.
