Dodgers send Alek Thomas to Triple-A Oklahoma City after clearing waivers

The Los Angeles Dodgers outrighted outfielder Alek Thomas to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday after the player cleared waivers. The move follows Thomas being designated for assignment on Saturday, a roster adjustment necessary to accommodate the return of pitcher Bobby Miller to the 40-man roster. Miller was subsequently optioned to Triple-A on Monday. The Dodgers had originally acquired Thomas via trade in May after he was designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks. He joined the major league roster on August 22 to provide outfield coverage following a hand injury to Andy Pages. During his time with the Dodgers, Thomas appeared in seven games, recording four hits in 19 at-bats. He has maintained a.294 batting average with 10 home runs over 58 games with Oklahoma City this season.
