The Dodgers are expected to announce before Monday’s game that 23-year-old infielder Blake DeWitt will be sent to Triple-A Albuquerque and replaced on the Dodgers roster by 36-year-old utilityman Juan Castro. The Dodgers apparently feel DeWitt’s development will be hindered if he sits on the bench behind infielders Casey Blake, Rafael Furcal and Orlando Hudson rather than plays every day at Triple-A. A 40-man roster move to make room for Castro is in the works.
