Dodgers Trade Zac Rosscup

Zac Rosscup is officially done playing in the Dodgers organization.

The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired the lefty from the Dodgers, according to a team announcement. He was recently designated for assignment by LA. In return, the Dodgers will receive cash considerations.

Rosscup's new tenure with the Cardinals will most likely begin on assignment in Triple-A.

This will be his fourth team this season, as before getting to LA, he had been with two other organizations. He owns a 5.16 ERA in 83 2/3 innings at the MLB level where he has 12.2 K/9 but his walk rate is an ugly 5.9 BB/9. At issue with him has been the free passes he has given other players, and it was clearly something the Dodgers didn't want as they make a push for the World Series again.

Rosscup being traded wasn't the only news of the day for the Dodgers. It actually comes on the heels of utilityman Kike Hernandez going on the 10-day IL with a sprained hand. The Dodgers also optioned right-hander Jaime Schultz and activated Kristopher Negron from Triple-A to take Hernandez's place on the roster. Also, righty reliever Josh Sborz was recalled to take Schultz's place.
