However, the former New York Yankees farmhand has been up to the majors five times thus far with the Dodgers. He was on the roster for the opening series in Tokyo, but did not appear in a game. In the 20 2\/3 innings he has pitched, he has allowed nine runs on 16 hits, while striking out 13. According to MLB rules, a player can be optioned five times a season. Therefore, the next time Sauer is sent down to the minors, he can&#8217;t be recalled.<\/p>\n<h3>DFA&#8217;d Twice in Two Weeks<\/h3>\n<p>The Dodgers have been short of bullpen options from the right side.
