Read More: Aaron Harang (P – LOS), Dana Eveland (P – BAL), Chris Capuano (P – LOS), Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday traded left-handed starting pitcher Dana Eveland to the Baltimore Orioles for a pair of minor leaguers, lefty pitcher Jarret Martin and outfielder Tyler Henson. Moving Eveland freed up a spot on the 40-man roster for Aaron Harang, whom the Dodgers signed to a two-year contract on Thursday morning.

Harang, 28, was a likely candidate to be non-tendered next week anyway, and that was before the Dodgers signed Harang and Chris Capuano, giving them five starting pitchers signed through 2013. Harang was 3-2 with a 3.03 in five starts in September for the Dodgers after making the Triple A All-Star team with the Albuquerque Isotopes.

Martin, 22, was 5-12 with a 4.96 ERA in 31 games, including 18 starts for Class A Delmarva in the South Atlantic League in 2011. He was an 18th round selection in the 2009 draft by Baltimore. Henson, who turns 24 on December 15, hit .247/.313/.321 in Triple A in 2011.

LOS ANGELES – Former Great Lakes Loons star Dee Gordon was named the September winner of the National League Rookie of the Month Award, according to MLB.com.

The Dodgers shortstop hit .372 during September, including seven doubles, one triple, six RBIs, 21 runs and 12 stolen bases. His 42 hits led the National League during the month and his 12 stolen bases were second.

Despite spending part of the season in Triple A Albuquerque, Gordon was tied for first among NL rookies with 24 stolen bases and eighth with 34 runs.

He finished the season hitting .304.

Gordon played for the Loons in 2009, hitting .301 with 73 stolen bases.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11 (UPI) — Dana Eveland and two relievers combined on a five-hit shutout Saturday and the Los Angeles Dodgers stifled San Francisco 3-0.

Eveland (2-0), promoted from Class AAA Albuquerque this month, baffled the Giants on three hits and two walks over seven frames. He fanned three while tossing 63 of his 94 pitches for strikes.

Kenley Jansen and Javy Guerra each finished with one scoreless frame to complete the whitewash and deliver another blow to San Francisco, which fell 9 1/2 games behind first-place Arizona in the National League West.

Juan Rivera went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, and James Loney added two hits and a run scored for Los Angeles.

Ryan Vogelsong (10-7) went eight innings but was saddled with the loss for San Francisco after yielding three runs on nine hits and a walk. He struck out six.

Aug 10, 2011 – The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to purchase the contract of infielder Justin Sellers from the Triple A Albuquerque Isotopes before Friday’s series opener with the Houston Astros at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers have an open roster spot because rookie shortstop Dee Gordon was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder contusion after their loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Per Chris Jackson of the Albuquerque Examiner:

Versatile infielder Justin Sellers was unavailable to play as he was expected to be called up at some point in the next 48 hours by the Los Angeles Dodgers, who put shortstop Dee Gordon on the 15-day disabled list with an injured right shoulder. That move was not yet official.

The 25-year old Sellers was invited to big league camp in spring training this season for the first time in his career, and he hit .280/.400/.440 in limited action. He was hitting .304/.400/.537 in 89 games with Triple A in the hitter-happy Pacific Coast League this season. Sellers has played all over the diamond for Albuquerque this season, playing 45 games at shortstop, 22 games at second base, 15 games at third base, and even seven games in the outfield.

Jamey Carroll figures to receive most of the playing time at shortstop in Gordon’s absence, but the Dodgers need an infielder they can plug in at the position if needed. Aaron Miles played just 63 total innings at shortstop in 2009 and 2010, while Eugenio Velez has played one minor league game at shortstop in the last five years.

Sellers is not on the 40-man roster, but the Dodgers have an open spot so that will not be an issue. Fellow Albuquerque Isotopes infielder Ivan DeJesus was also an option and is already on the 40-man, but the organization would rather DeJesus play everyday rather than sit on the bench in the big leagues, as DeJesus did in his two previous stints with the Dodgers this season.

LOS ANGELES – Former Great Lakes Loon star Dee Gordon made Los Angeles Dodgers history Tuesday for something he did Friday.

A scoring change gave Gordon a steal of third in Friday’s game against the Angels, making Gordon the first Dodger in 83 years to second, third and home in the same inning.

Originally, Gordon was credited with taking third base on a throw to first.

Gordon, who played for the Loons in 2009, was sent back to Triple A Albuquerque on Monday.

mlb.com: Gordon added another historical footnote Tuesday, stealing two bases for Albuquerque, essentially giving him stolen bases in the Major Leagues and Minor Leagues on the same day.
