Dodgers: In the May 28 Sports section, a Dodgers FYI item about the team’s sending shortstop Dee Gordon to Albuquerque said that Gordon was out of options and therefore could be demoted to the minor leagues without clearing waivers. Each major league player can be moved back and forth from the big-league team to the minors a certain number of times. These are called options. Gordon actually has options remaining, which is why the Dodgers could send him to the minors without his clearing waivers. Otherwise, he could have been claimed by another major league team and moved to that organization.
