Dodgers dump Chen
Nick Christensen
LAS VEGAS SUN
Chin-Feng Chen, the Las Vegas 51s' all-time leader in home runs, RBIs and
total bases, was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers on
Saturday.

Chen had been with the Dodgers since July 4. He was called up shortly after
outfielder J.D. Drew suffered a broken wrist.

When the Dodgers activated outfielder Milton Bradley from his rehabilitation
assignment with Las Vegas on Saturday, Chen was designated. The Dodgers now
have eight days to trade Chen or offer him free agency. After that, he could
opt to stay with the Dodgers and accept a demotion to Triple-A.

The 51s return home for an eight-game homestand on Tuesday.
