Dodgers call up 2B Kolten Wong, RHP Emmet Sheehan

With major league rosters expanding from 26 players to 28 on Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers called up veteran second baseman Kolten Wong and rookie right-hander Emmet Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

In a corresponding move to add Wong to the 40-man roster, the Dodgers outrighted infielder Yonny Hernandez to Triple-A.

A two-time Gold Glove winner, Wong signed with the Dodgers on Aug. 9 after being released by the Seattle Mariners. He hit .539 (7-for-13) in three games at Oklahoma City.

In 67 games with the Mariners this season, the 32-year-old Wong batted .165 with two homers and 19 RBIs.

Over 11 seasons, Wong is a .256 hitter with 84 homers, 397 RBIs and 118 steals in 1,169 games with the Cardinals (2013-20), Milwaukee Brewers (2021-22) and Mariners.

Sheehan, 23, went 3-1 with a 5.63 ERA in eight games (seven starts) for the Dodgers earlier this season in his first big-league stint. Los Angeles selected him in the sixth round of the 2021 draft.
