Dodgers Designate Ian Thomas For Assignment

By Steve Adams | June 30, 2016 at 2:58pm CDT

The Dodgers announced today that they’ve designated left-hander Ian Thomas for assignment in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Bud Norris, who was acquired from Atlanta in exchange for a pair of minor league pitchers.

Thomas, 29, actually came to the Dodgers by way of trade with the Braves last summer. He was traded from Atlanta to L.A. alongside Alberto Callaspo, Juan Jaime and Eric Stults in exchange for Juan Uribe and Chris Withrow. He spent 23 1/3 innings between the Braves and Dodgers in the Major Leagues last season and posted a 3.86 ERA with 23 strikeouts against 11 walks. Thomas posted strong numbers early this season for the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate — 1.42 ERA, 22-to-5 K/BB ratio in 19 innings — but has been on the minor league disabled list since mid-May due to tendinitis in his left shoulder.

    Dodgers DFA hoping no one claims an injured pitcher, then outright him to OKC and keep him in the organization?

      Possibly, depending on what they know about him medically.

      Clubs are desperate for pitching. Maybe someone gambles on Thomas or maybe not.

    I truly hope the Braves do indeed bring him back…

    I loved Thomas, while he was in a Braves uniform, and I would definitely love to have him back!!

    I mean since the Braves just signed Infante back, you never know, maybe they will continue the trend and go ahead and sign Thomas.

    Truly, they would have absolutely nothing to lose by signing him, and if Thomas can bounce back after he gets healthy, he can very well be a solid ML pitcher

    But wow was that a lopsided deal for the Braves!! Also, later on, Uribe was then packaged to help get Rob Whalen and John Gant!

    Not likely. They would’ve included him in the trade…
