The Dodgers traded left-handed pitcher Xavier Cedeño to the Rays in exchange for cash considerations today. Cedeño was acquired by the Dodgers from the Washington Nationals for cash April 22 and designated for assignment two days later, without appearing in a Dodger uniform.
The trade is basically a wash for the Dodgers, but it isn’t the first time they have acquired a player since the season began and chosen not to keep him. Actually, it’s the fourth.
Ryan Webb, Daniel Corcino, Ryan Dennick have all spent less than a week on the 40-man roster combined. The Dodgers allowed Webb to sign with the Cleveland Indians, while Corcino and Dennick are both pitching at Double-A Tulsa on minor-league deals.
Cedeno, 28, had appeared in five games for the Nationals. He allowed two runs and struck out four batters in three innings.
