Jake Oester is heading to Double-A for the second time in as many years (Steve Orcutt/W-S Dash).

One day after “Transaction Thursday,” during which the Dash had six roster moves, Winston-Salem lost another player to Double-A Birmingham Friday afternoon. Infielder Jake Oester is heading to the Southern League for the second time in his career.

Oester is hitting .252 with a homer and 13 RBI in 34 games with the Dash. He is primarily a third baseman but can also play at second.

A year ago, Oester played in 49 games with the Barons, hitting at a .216 clip with 14 RBI and 11 runs scored. A free agent signing prior to the 2010 season, Oester comes from a baseball background. His father Ron played with the Cincinnati Reds for 13 seasons (1978-90).

Winston-Salem’s roster currently sits at 24 players, and the club has five infielders. The Dash continue their three-game series at Potomac tonight at 7:05. Pre-game coverage kicks off at 6:50 here.
