Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Gets first big-league call-up

The Dodgers selected Casparius' contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Los Angeles designated right-hander Brent Honeywell for assignment in a corresponding move to clear room on the 40-man roster and the 26-man active roster for Casparius. After getting moved up from Double-A Tulsa to Oklahoma City in May, Casparius made 13 starts at the Triple-A level, logging a 3.54 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 61:29 K:BB across 56 innings. The 25-year-old right-hander will likely operate as a long reliever for the Dodgers, though he could get a look in the rotation if incumbent No. 5 starter Bobby Miller continues to struggle while filling in for the injured Tyler Glasnow (elbow).
