Dodgers Designate Alberto Callaspo For Assignment

By Steve Adams | August 19, 2015 at 10:56pm CDT

The Dodgers announced that they have designated infielder Alberto Callaspo for assignment tonight, which will clear room on the 40-man and 25-man rosters for newly acquired Chase Utley.

Acquired from the Braves earlier this season, Callaspo saw an uptick in production following his move to L.A., but his .262/.338/.303 batting line was still considerably below the league average. Callaspo signed a one-year, $3MM contract with Atlanta this offseason and figures to go unclaimed if placed on waivers, as he’s still owed $770K through season’s end. The switch-hitter served as a solid utility piece from 2009-13 with the Royals, Angels and A’s, but his production has declined over the past two seasons, as he’s totaled just a .227/.300/.286 batting line in 711 plate appearances.

    Angels should pick him up. His line of 262/.338/.303 doesn’t look any worse than what we have gotten so far out of the 2B/3B positions.
