Dodgers' Ian Thomas: Gets DFA'd Thursday

Thomas was designated for assignment Thursday.

With the Dodgers acquisition of Bud Norris on Thursday, they needed to clear room on the 40-man roster to insert him into the rotation. Thomas drew the last straw and will now enter a waiver period where he'll be eligible to be claimed by another club. The 29-year-old, who's currently dealing with a minor shoulder injury, has sparkled in relief for Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing only three earned runs over 19 innings (1.42 ERA) while striking out 22 batters.
