Dodgers' Justin Dean: Sent back to Triple-A

The Dodgers optioned Dean to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Since coming up from the minors Aug. 8, Dean has logged just two plate appearances with the Dodgers while acting primarily as a pinch runner and outfield depth. Now that Tommy Edman (ankle) has returned from the injured list, Dean will be pushed off the active roster and likely finish the season at Triple-A.
