The Dodgers also transferred AJ Pollock to the 60-day IL which does not dramatically affect his timeline.
Rosscup, was signed by the Dodgers only a few weeks ago was a member of the team as recently as 2018. He has thrown 6 innings for Oklahoma City, allowing 6 earned runs. He also tossed 15 innings at the major league level for both the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays this season.
Rios, 25, who will be making his first appearance in Major League Baseball, has underwhelmed this season in Oklahoma City, putting together just a .249/.308/.475 slash line.
Gonsolin, a top prospect in the Dodgers system, had a rocky debut, tossing 4 innings while allowing 4 earned runs against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Ferguson has had quite a rough go of things so far this year for the big club, posting a 5.48 ERA in 23 innings.
