Former local starts, has RBI before being sent back to AAA
Thursday or Friday, Culberson could quickly find himself back in Triple-A.
Nonetheless, he said he felt relaxed on Wednesday.
“I know I’m here for at least one day, and I was in the starting lineup, so I can’t really worry about too much else besides that,” he said. “I just prepare for the game, get ready and see what happens. That’s all I can do.”
To make room for Urias, Culberson was designated for assignment on Thursday, and after going unclaimed, the Dodgers optioned him back to TripleA Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Hyde makes up for early error with big triple
— Ronald Guzman and Luis Marte accounted for seven RBI’s as Frisco overcame a fourrun deficit to defeat Corpus Christi 7- 6 Sunday at Whataburger Field before 3,958.
The RoughRiders’ victory on getaway day was powered by a six-run outburst over the sixth and seventh innings, earning them a split of the four-game series.
Shortstop Mott Hyde’s throwing error and two- out singles from Joe Jackson and Marte opened the door to an unearned run and early Frisco (13-17; 5148) lead. Lead-off hitter Lewis Brinson reached on the miscue and scored on Marte’s hit up the middle. Guzman (bunt single) followed Brinson homeward but was thrown out by James Ramsay.
Play was interrupted for 11 minutes at the start of the home second due to a benchclearing brawl. Hooks designated hitter Danry Vasquez charged pitcher Yohander Mendez, who struck Vasquez in the thigh with a firstpitch delivery. Vasquez, Mendez, and on-deck batter Ramon Laureano were ejected by home plate umpire Clayton Hamm.
Vasquez’s pinchrunner, Nolan Fontana, made it 1-1 by scoring on a Kellin Deglan passed ball.
