McCreery, 26, was acquired by the Dodgers back in November in a trade with the Braves in exchange for cash considerations after he was designated for assignment by Atlanta. He went 2-1 with a 2.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and an 18/9 K/BB ratio in 17.0 innings with Double-A Tulsa before getting promoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City where he went 0-0 with a 5.79 ERA, 2.25 WHIP, and a 21/14 K/BB ratio in 18.2 innings. By dealing McCreery the Dodgers created a spot on their 40-man roster and in a corresponding move they announced that they have activated outfielder A.J. Pollock off of the 60-day injured list.
Thole, 32, signed a minor league contract with the Dodgers in January with the sole purpose of providing depth in the minor leagues. Thole hit .245 BA/.348 OBP/.302 SLG/.650 OPS with 5 doubles, 1 home run, 14 runs batted in, 15 runs scored, and a 35/21 K/BB ratio in 47 games played between Triple-A Oklahoma City and Double-A Tulsa.
