Dodgers' Gavin Stone: Sent down to Triple-A

Stone was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

After getting the call from Triple-A on Sunday, Stone was deployed as a bulk reliever behind Caleb Ferguson in the Dodgers' series finale with Boston, pitching six innings and giving up four runs on five hits while picking up the win. Though the Dodgers have an opening in the rotation, the team appears likely to call up Ryan Pepiot from Triple-A to start Wednesday versus the Diamondbacks rather than sticking with Stone. By moving Stone back to the minors, the Dodgers were able to clear room on the 26-man active roster for waiver pickup Tyson Miller. Stone should settle back into the Oklahoma City rotation upon rejoining the club.
