Shane Victorino's arrival meant someone had to get the boot from the Dodgers' roster today and they chose 38-year-old Bobby Abreu, designating him for assignment.
Abreu signed with the Dodgers after being released by the Angels in late April and got off to a strong start while seeing regular action in left field, but he's hit just .178 in 37 games dating back to mid-June and would have been limited to pinch-hitting duties with Victorino starting in left field.
