The Dodgers have reassigned five players — catchers Griffin Lockwood-Powell and Chris Okey, as well as infielders Alex Freeland, Austin Gauthier, and Kody Hoese — to minor league camp.
With the latest round of cuts, the Dodgers now have 52 players in Major League camp.
None of these players were going to make the Opening Day roster, but they all made a solid impact during Cactus League play.
Lockwood-Powell, 27, went 4-for-17 (.235) with two runs batted in and an OPS of .669. At Double-A last year, he hit .231 with 14 home runs, 55 RBIs, and an OPS of .672.
Okey, 30, went 4-for-12 (.300) with one home run, three RBIs, and an OPS of 1.096. In parts of two MLB seasons with the Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Angels, Okey is a career .143 hitter.
