Dodgers Designate Shane Greene For Assignment

By Anthony Franco | May 17, 2022 at 7:14pm CDT

The Dodgers announced they’ve designated reliever Shane Greene for assignment (via Juan Toribio of MLB.com). The move clears active and 40-man roster space for left-hander David Price, who has been reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list.

Manager Dave Roberts told reporters this morning that Price would be activated between games of today’s twin bill against the Diamondbacks. That move costs Greene his roster spot just two days after he was brought up. The veteran reliever made a lone appearance in Dodger blue this season, tossing two scoreless innings during Sunday’s win over the Phillies.

Greene also made nine appearances for the Dodgers down the stretch last season. The 2021 campaign was a struggle, as the righty never seemed to find his footing after lingering on the free agent market into May. He originally signed with the Braves but posted just a 7.23 ERA in 23 2/3 innings between Atlanta and L.A. Greene had posted a sub-3.00 ERA in three of the prior four seasons, never missing many bats but generally throwing strikes and avoiding hard contact.

The 33-year-old signed a new minor league deal with the Dodgers during Spring Training. He’s made seven appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City, tossing 7 2/3 frames of five-run ball with nine strikeouts and four walks. The Dodgers will presumably try to outright Greene back to the minors over the coming days, although he has more than enough service time to refuse a minor league assignment and reach free agency if he clears waivers.

Price has been out of action since contracting the virus in late April. The former Cy Young award winner has worked exclusively in relief to this point in the season. Price has appeared in five games, allowing one run in 4 2/3 innings with five strikeouts and a walk.

    At one point two other GMs believed he was worth Robbie Ray or Didi.

      At one point one other GM believed Miguel Andujar and Clint Frazier were worth more than Gerrit Cole.

      Pirates, they just grabbed Beede the other day and their pitching has been awful so far.

    Mets need to grab him. Guys like Yoan Lopez, Trevor May, SRF, and Drew Smith can’t get anyone out. Might as well take a flyer on Shane Greene

      SRF is done for year and May is done until break. You can’t use those 2. Smith was lights out until last week. What you smoking? Also, I agree with them getting greene

        @StefanArkansas I’ve been saying on here for weeks that Drew Smith isn’t any good even while he had that scoreless streak. Most of his innings came in garbage time where he did well. A majority of the time he would walk/or give up a hit in every inning. He got saved by our defense numerous times during that stretch. Ever since Showalter started putting him in high leverage situations, hes been getting shelled. In regards to your SRF and Trevor May comments, yes they are out but were they any good when they played? The answer is that they were terrible. If the Mets had a bullpen like the Dodgers, WhiteSox, or Yankees, they would have maybe 7 losses all year. The problem with our GM is that he thinks he can just call up anyone like the Rays do and that they will be lights out. The truth is, the Mets have tried that formula for years and got maybe 3 decent relievers in Addison Reed, Jerry Blevens, and Aaron Loup, out of probably 150 different relievers. Winning a World Series is douable if we can get 2-3 lights out relievers, preferably 2 strong 8th inning guys

    Journeyman reliever is what he has become. He is unlikely to ever have a stable job again in the majors.

    Pirates a sure roster spot until he proves he isn’t worth the spot. League minimum and a chance to prove to clubs he’s better than the last few years has shown. If Greene turns things around in Pittsburgh, it’s a win win for both parties because Greene can potentially go to a contender and Pirates get a prospect.

    Greene is 1-0 with an ERA of zero! According to some of the logic I’ve been seeing around here lately there must be at least a couple posters insisting that he’s clearly the best pitcher in baseball. Better than deGrom!

      @Cosmo2 the irony is that you are talking about yourself. Drew Smith had a 0 era in his first 10 innings and you acted like he was the next Mariano Rivera. Well hes given up 3 runs in 3 outings since then. You still can’t admit you were wrong about him. Hes at best a bit under league average

        You really don’t have particularly good grasp of reality. Not only have I never complimented Smith here, but I’ve certainly never compared him to Rivera. You see, when you have to lie in order to make your point, well, its not good. It basically prices you have NO point. Just more hot takes fallacies and dishonesty. Every post you submit is liking digging a deeper hole into nonsense and foolishness. (My actual opinion of Smith is that he’s likely around below league average, a bit above replacement level, but I guess you’re just gonna make stuff up. At this point it doesn’t surprise me.)
