The Los Angeles Dodgers are making another roster shuffle during their series with the Kansas City Royals.
LA has won the first two games against the Royals and is going for the sweep on Wednesday with Eric Lauer on the mound.
Before the Royals game, the Dodgers announced that 3-year pitcher Seth Halvorsen, who was acquired by the Dodgers via trade in July, is being optioned to the minors.

Seth Halvorsen’s time with the Dodgers big-league club was very short-lived, as he was just recalled a couple of days ago, but now heads back down to the minors as a corresponding move to Landon Knack being called up.
The Dodgers X account wrote (on 8/12): “The Dodgers recalled RHP Landon Knack and optioned RHP Seth Halvorsen.”
Halvorsen pitched just one inning, and it was a scoreless frame on Tuesday evening. He’s logged a total of 20 innings this season, split between the Dodgers and Rockies.
