We’ll keep track of every time a Dodgers player is optioned to the minor leagues during the 2026 season.

Details on these transactions can also be found on our 40-man roster tracker, but here we will chronicle every specific time a player gets sent down, relative to the limits set by MLB.

Major League rule 7(d) states that a player cannot be optioned to the minors more than five times during a single season. If a player who has been optioned five times is called back to the majors, they cannot be sent back down to the minors without being placed on waivers first.

For purposes of this rule, only options after opening day count. So anyone sent down during spring training won’t have that count against the limit of five.

In 2025, as one example, reliever Will Klein was optioned to the minors five times during the regular season, first with the Seattle Mariners and then with the Dodgers.
