Eliezer Alfonzo has joined Triple-A Albuquerque.
Alfonzo signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers over the winter, but he was unable to report to major league camp this spring because he had dengue fever. However, he's now back 100 percent and was recently playing in the Mexican League. The 34-year-old backstop will serve as organizational depth with Los Angeles.
Eliezer Alfonzo will not be in major league camp with the Dodgers because he has dengue fever.
Dengue fever is an infectious tropical disease which is spread by mosquitoes. He is currently in Venezuela and is not permitted to fly for 5-7 days. Once he's back to full health, he will report to minor league camp. Per Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, Matt Wallach will replace him in big league camp.
Eliezer Alfonzo has not reported to Dodgers camp in Arizona because of a private family matter.
Alfonzo should be on the way in a couple of days. He signed a non-guarnateed deal with the Dodgers this winter.
