According to Mark Saxon of ESPN.com the Los Angeles Dodgers have designated third baseman Alberto Callaspo for assignment.

The Alberto Callaspo era in L.A. is over. Dodgers DFA him to get Utley on the roster. He made some contributions, for sure.

Callaspo was brought over in a trade with the Atlanta Braves earlier this season involving Dodger fan favorite Juan Uribe. With the addition of Chase Utley yesterday the Dodgers had to make a roster move leaving Callaspo as the odd man out.

Callaspo hit .235 with over 200 at-bats for the Dodgers this season.
