Outfielders Josue De Paula, Zyhir Hope, Ryan Ward, Justin Dean, and pitchers Carlos Duran, Julian Fernandez, and Justin Jarvis \u2014\u00a0all non-roster invitees\u00a0\u2014 were\u00a0<em>reassigned<\/em>\u00a0to minor league camp.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"4yF9sm\">\n<div class=\"c-read-more\">\n<div class=\"c-entry-content \">\n<p id=\"kPqmWj\">Frasso pitched in two Cactus League games, tossing a scoreless inning in each game. This is the second year on the 40-man roster for the right-hander, who\u00a0missed all of the 2024 season after shoulder surgery and hip surgery.<\/p>\n<p id=\"aOAmDd\">De Paula and Hope are two of the Dodgers\u2019 top prospects, both\u00a0named to several top-100 lists in baseball prior to this season, their age-20 campaigns.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YPy59v\">Dean was one of two Dodgers to play a game on all 11 games on the schedule so far this spring. Kody Hoese, who is still in major league camp, is the other.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Gix0hy\">The Dodgers are off on Monday\u00a0after playing\u00a0a\u00a0pair of games\u00a0on Sunday. With only eight games remaining on the Arizona portion of their schedule, expect more roster cuts in the coming week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Xoa5WL\">Excluding\u00a0players already on the injured list, the Dodgers have 59 players remaining in big league camp at Camelback Ranch. That includes 25 position players and 34 pitchers, though among the arms are\u00a0seven more\u00a0who\u00a0are\u00a0expected to\u00a0begin the\u00a0season on\u00a0the IL.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"formatter-datter\" class=\"u-hidden-text\" data-cid=\"site\/entry_formatter-1740986678_1012_38036\" data-cdata=\"{&quot;svg_hr_illustration&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\"><\/div>\n<section class=\"c-related-list\"><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nick Frasso, Josue De Paula, Zyhir Hope, and five other non-roster invitees were sent to minor league camp after Sunday\u2019s split-squad games The\u00a0Dodgers\u00a0on Sunday sent eight players&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hot-news","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ROSTER SHAKEUP: Dodgers Make First Spring Training Cuts, Send 8 Players to Minors!
