Dodgers acquire Mark Sweeney from Giants

For a player to be named. This guy is now No. 2 all-time on the career pinch-hitting list, having passed Manny Mota and trailing only Lenny Harris. He is a free agent after the season. No corresponding roster move to clear a spot for him until tomorrow, but my guess is they might DFA Saenz because Sweeney is a 1B/OF. They also might send Delwyn Young back to the minors, as a thank you for his going 4 for 4 today. Or, it could be something else.
