Dodgers add three to 40-man roster
Ivan DeJesus Jr. - SS - Los Angeles Dodgers
Nov. 19, 2009 - 4:15 PM ET
Dodgers purchased the contracts of SS Ivan DeJesus Jr, OF Trayvon Robinson and RHP Kenley Jansen.
The roster moves ensure that the trio will not be selected in the Rule 5 draft. DeJesus, 23, is arguably the most highly-regarded of the three, however he missed nearly the entire 2009 season after breaking his left leg during spring training. Robinson, 22, enjoyed a breakout season in 2009, batting .300/.373/.493 with 17 home runs and 64 RBI between Class A Inland Empire and Double-A Chattanooga. Jansen, 22, just recently made the switch from catcher to pitcher, but struck out 19 batters in 11.2 innings with Class A Inland Empire.
