SAN DIEGO — Xavier Cedeno, like Daniel Corcino, Ryan Dennick, Ryan Webb and David Huff before him, did not last long on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster. Cedeno, whom the Dodgers acquired from the Washington Nationals for cash considerations Wednesday, was designated for assignment Friday.

Sergio Santos has a fairly easy act to follow.

Santos, the veteran right-hander from Hacienda Heights, was added to the Dodgers’ 40-man roster and was brought up for tonight’s game against the Padres. He’ll wear number 26 and should be a fairly attractive bullpen option for Don Mattingly tonight. The Dodgers’ other relievers threw 10 ⅓ innings during the three-game series against the Giants that concluded Thursday, losing two games and blowing one save.

Mike Bolsinger, who started Thursday, was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to make room for Santos on the 25-man roster. The Dodgers will carry eight relievers tonight and likely tomorrow, until they need a fifth starter to fill the “TBA” slot listed next to Sunday’s game in San Diego.

The Dodgers claimed right-handed pitcher Daniel Corcino from Cincinnati and designated left-handed pitcher Ryan Dennick for assignment.

Corcino has a 45-52 record with a 4.13 ERA in 168 career minor league games in the Reds’ organization. He appeared in five major league games last season and allowed nine runs in 18 ⅔ innings, a 4.34 earned-run average. He opened this season with Double-A Pensacola, tossing a scoreless inning of relief in his only outing.

The 24-year-old pitcher was signed by the Reds as a non-drafted free agent in 2008 from the Dominican Republic. He will report to Double-A Tulsa.

Dennick was claimed by the Dodgers from the Reds on Wednesday. The 28-year-old pitcher has a 27-31 record with 18 saves and a 3.88 ERA in 210 career minor league games over seven seasons. He appeared in eight games for the big-league Reds last season.

Corcino had been compared to Johnny Cueto coming up in the Reds’ organization. One scout who saw Corcino this spring clocked his fastball in the upper 80-mph range to go along with a plus changeup.
