ATLANTA -- After spending most of the season getting right-handed pitcher Claudio Vargas healthy, the Dodgers traded him to the Milwaukee Brewers for Minor League catcher/first baseman Vinny Rottino on Friday.

Vargas, 31, opened the season on the disabled list and was activated July 3. In eight appearances, he had a 1.64 ERA and was clocked with a fastball as high as 93 mph. He pitched for the Brewers in 2007.

Rottino, 29, has appeared briefly in the Major Leagues for Milwaukee in each of the past three seasons and was named to the Pacific Coast League All-Star team last season when he posted a 24-game hitting streak. He was hitting .249 with four homers and 48 RBIs for Double-A Huntsville this season.

The move opens a spot on the Dodgers' 25-man roster for reliever George Sherrill, who was acquired from the Orioles on Thursday. Vargas was on the disabled list the first three months of the season with an elbow injury.
