Clint Robinson Promoted To Dodgers, Romak Designated For Assignment

[new_royalslider id=”197″] Career minor-leaguer Jamie Romak made his major-league debut on May 28 with the Los Angeles Dodgers after 12 seasons in the minors. His time has lasted 15 games and is now over after the Dodgers announced that he was designated for assignment and Clint Robinson’s contract was purchased.

Romak had one hit in 21 at-bats and failed to keep his spot that he earned when Carl Crawford went down with a sprained ankle. He had just two walks among his lone hit and scored two runs. The 28-year-old started Tuesday night’s game in right field and was hitless at the plate. He is being replaced on the 40-man roster with the 27-year-old Clint Robinson.

Robinson played with the Dodgers in the spring, hitting .308 with a home run in 15 games. He joined the Albuquerque Isotopes and is currently hitting .309 with 14 home runs and 56 RBIs.
