Dodgers Release Ian Thomas, Outright Two

By Connor Byrne | July 3, 2016 at 4:11pm CDT

The Dodgers have made a trio of roster moves, releasing left-hander Ian Thomas and outrighting righties Yaisel Sierra and Layne Somsen off the 40-man roster, reports Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register (Twitter link).

Thomas, whom the Dodgers designated for assignment Thursday, originally joined the team via trade with the Braves last summer. He logged a combined 23 1/3 innings with the two clubs in 2015 and posted a 3.86 ERA with 23 strikeouts against 11 walks. Thomas racked up quality numbers early this season for the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate — 1.42 ERA, 22 strikeouts and five walks in 19 innings — but has been on the minor league disabled list since mid-May because of tendinitis in his left shoulder.

The Dodgers claimed Somsen off waivers from the Yankees on June 22 and subsequently designated him Friday. Somsen’s only major league action came earlier this season as a member of the Reds, with whom he threw 2 1/3 innings and gave up five earned runs. The 27-year-old has been far better this season in the minors, where he has put up a 1.44 ERA with 10.4 K/9 against 4.3 BB/9 across 25 Triple-A frames.

Los Angeles signed Sierra – a Cuba native – to a deal worth upward of $30MM in February, making him easily the most interesting name in this group. The move hasn’t gone according to plan, though, as the 25-year-old has disappointed at the High-A level this season. In 49 innings, Sierra has run up a 4.69 ERA with 6.05 K/9 against 3.70 BB/9.

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.
