Dodgers add three to 40-man roster
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers added three prospects to their 40-man roster Thursday by purchasing the contracts of shortstop Ivan DeJesus, outfielder Trayvon Robinson and right-hander Kenley Jansen.
DeJesus, 23, missed nearly the entire 2009 season. He was limited to four games and 10 at-bats in the Arizona Rookie League after breaking his left leg in a Spring Training "B" game against Milwaukee on March 2.
Robinson, 22, hit a combined .300 with 17 home runs, 64 RBIs and an .866 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) at Class A Inland Empire and Double-A Chattanooga.
Jansen, 22, who converted to pitching from catching, recorded a 4.63 ERA in 12 relief appearances. He struck out 19 and walked 11 in 11 2/3 innings.
