Impact Gage exercised an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract Wednesday, but he'll instead remain with the organization now that he owns a spot on the 40-man. The 31-year-old southpaw will remain in Triple-A, however, where he's posted a 2.79 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 19.1 innings this season. J.P. Feyereisen was outrighted to Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Designated for assignment Gage was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Taylor Trammell. Gage was acquired via trade from the Yankees in February but did not make the Opening Day roster. He holds a 1.83 ERA and 20:9 K:BB across 19.2 innings in the majors, so there could be some interest via trade or waivers.

Impact The 30-year-old lefty has a 1.83 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 20 strikeouts in 19.2 innings in the big leagues, but he has been up and down this season between the majors and minors. Look for Gage to work in low-leverage situations.

Gage made two appearances during his brief stint, throwing 2.2 scoreless innings while striking out three batters and walking one. His solid MLB history isn't consistent with his performance in the minors this season (6.59 ERA, 2.05 WHIP), but it's still possible Gage returns to Houston's bullpen later this season.

Impact Gage takes the place of Ryne Stanek on the 26-man active roster after Stanek was placed on the bereavement list by the Astros on Saturday.
