The Dodgers have sent Matt Magill, Steven Ames, and Matt Palmer to minor-league camp, removing them from contention for a 25-man roster spot.
Not surprising for any of the three, as Magill and Ames are still a year-plus away from being legitimate roster contenders – especially considering the depth of the Dodgers staff and pen – and Palmer recently underwent knee surgery and was never a true threat to begin with.
Brian Barden, Hector Luna, and Jeremy Moore all got their tickets to minor-league camp as well.
All three were slated to be in Albuquerque in 2013 anyways.

In addition to the cuts, the team released left-handed pitchers Victor Garate and Wilmin Rodriguez, along with catcher Angelo Ponte and right-handed pitcher Hector Correa.
The team also inked right-hander Pablo Gonzalez and outfielder Robbie Garvey, presumably to minor-league deals.
