The Los Angeles Dodgers have designated veteran outfielder Bobby Abreu to make room on their roster for outfielder Shane Victorino, the team has announced:
OFFICIAL:
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 1, 2012@dodgers today designated outfielder Bobby Abreu for assignment as Shane Victorino was added to the active roster.
The Dodgers acquired Victorino yesterday from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for pitchers Josh Lindblom and Ethan Martin. Over 387 at-bats for the Phillies, Victorino hit at a clip of .261/.324/.401 with 17 doubles, nine home runs and 40 RBIs.

A 17-year veteran, Abreu owns a career OPS of .873.
