Alex Freeland Optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City

Following the activation of Mookie Betts from the injured list, the Dodgers have optioned Alex Freeland to Triple-A Oklahoma City. The move was part of a roster shuffle necessitated by Betts' return after missing 32 games with a strained oblique. Freeland's departure to the minors provides the necessary space on the active roster for the Dodgers' returning star. The team had previously considered other roster options involving Hyeseong Kim and Santiago Espinal before finalizing the move.
