During the 2026 minor league baseball season, the Los Angeles Dodgers will monitor the number of times each player is optioned to the minor leagues, adhering to Major League Rule 7(d) which permits a maximum of five such options within a single season. This tracking system, available on their 40-man roster tracker, specifically documents every instance a player is sent to the minors, relative to the MLB-imposed limits.
Players sent down during spring training do not contribute to their five-option limit. For instance, reliever Will Klein, who played for the Seattle Mariners and the Dodgers in 2025, was optioned a total of five times during the regular season. An exception to this rule applies if a player who has been optioned five times is subsequently called back to the majors; in such cases, they must first be placed on waivers before being allowed to return to the minors.
Among the players tracked for the 2026 season, Eliezer Alfonzo was optioned on August 4th, with Charlie Barnes following suit on April 14th, and later on April 27th and May 17th. Other players, such as Carlos Durán, Tyler Fitzgerald, and Alex Freeland, also had their options noted on corresponding dates.
